household waste.

3. Never attempt to disassemble the battery.

Battery Tips

1. When charging your battery, keep it at a temperature among 5℃ - 40℃ .

Temperature out of the limit may cause battery leakage or damage.

2. When charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.

3. Do not return fully charged batteries to the charger for an “extra boost”. This action

will significantly reduce battery life.

4. Do not return a battery to the charger before the battery power runs low. This action

will significantly reduce battery life. Never take the charger as a stand for your radio.

5. Never charge a battery that is wet. Please dry it with soft cloth prior to charge.

6. The battery will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and standby

time) is noticeably shorter than normal performance, it is time to buy a new battery.

To Prolong Battery Life

1. Battery performance will be greatly decreased at a temperature below 0℃. A spare

battery is necessary in cold weather. The cold battery unable to work in this situation

may work under room temperature, so keep it for later use.

2. The dust on the battery contact may cause the battery cannot work or charge. Please

use clean dry cloth to wipe it before attaching the battery to the radio.

Battery Storage

1. Fully charge a battery before you store it for a long time, to avoid battery damage due

to over-discharge.

2. Recharge a battery after several months’ storage (Li-Ion & Li-polymer batteries: 6

months), to avoid battery capacity reduction due to over-discharge.

3. Store your battery in a cool, dry place under room temperature, to reduce

self-discharge.
