• Never attempt to disassemble your battery pack.
• Do not expose your batteries to fire or intense heat
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with local recycling regulations. Batteries do not belong in your trashcan!
2.7 Prolonging the life of your battery
• Only charge batteries in normal room temperatures.
• When charging a battery attached to the radio, turn the radio off for a faster charge.
• Do not unplug the power to the charger or remove the battery and/or radio before it's finished charging.
• Never charge a wet battery.
• Batteries wear out over time. If you notice a considerably shorter operating time with your radio, please consider purchasing a new battery.
• Battery performance will be reduced in temperatures below freezing. When working in cold environments, keep a spare battery on you.
Preferably inside your jacket or in a similar location in order to keep the battery warm.
• Dust can interfere with the contacts on the battery. If necessary wipe the contacts with a clean cloth to ensure proper contact with radio and
charger.
If your battery has become wet, remove it from the radio, wipe it dry with a towel and put it in a plastic bag with a handful of dry rice. Tie the
bag up and let it sit over night.
The rice will absorb any remaining moisture in the battery.
This method is only effective against minor splashes (light rain for instance). A soaked radio may very well be beyond repair.
2.8 How to Store the Battery
(1) If the battery needs to be stored, keep it in status of 80% discharged.
(2) It should be kept in low temperature and dry environment.
(3) Keep it away from hot places and direct sunlight.
(4) To avoid severe capacity degradation of your battery while in long-term storage, please cycle the battery at least every six (6) months.
NOTICE
• Do not short circuit the battery terminals.
• Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.
• Never store the battery in unsafe surroundings, as a short may cause an explosion.
• Do not put the battery in a hot environment or throw it into a fire, as it may cause an explosion.
