Charging and caring for batteries 171
■
Store batteries properly when not in use.
See "Storing batteries".
Storing batteries
When not in use for a month or more, batteries should
be stored correctly to prolong their life.
■ Remove the battery from the radio before storage.
■ Fully charge the battery if storing for less than one
month.
■ Charge non-IS batteries to about 30% if storing for
longer than one month.
■ When storing IS batteries for any length of time,
fully charge the battery and check periodically as it
will discharge faster.
■ Store in a cool dry place.
Batteries that have been stored for any length of time
must be charged before being used. See "Charging a
battery for the first time" on page 168.
Disposing of batteries
Run the battery flat before disposing of it. When
disposing of the battery, be sure to do so in an
environmentally sensitive manner. Please contact
your radio provider for information on recycling
programs in your area. See "Environmental
responsibilities" on page 8 for more information.
