Battery care / information
Do not charge the battery near fires or under
direct sunlight
Use only the specified charger and observe
charging requirements
Do not pierce the battery with any object or
strike it with an instrument
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in
any way
Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the
battery
Do not touch a ruptured or leaking battery
If liquids from the battery get into your
eyes, immediately:
Wash your eyes out with fresh water avoiding
rubbing them. Seek medical treatment
Battery Pack
If a battery is not to be used for an extended
period of time (e.g. several months) remove the
battery pack from the equipment and store in a
cool and dry location (around 0°C) part charged.
Do not fully discharge the battery before storage
.
Each charge cycle reduces the battery’s life.
Minimise the number of times you charge your
battery especially in hotter environments which
further shortens a battery’s life.
The battery pack has an over-current protection
circuit fitted. When charging a completely discharged
battery i.e. first charge, ensure the battery is removed
from the radio and then re-attached (if fitted to radio
when charging). This will reset the protection circuitry
and ensure normal operation. This process will need
to be repeated if the battery is allowed to completely
discharge in the future. In normal use this is unlikely.
Battery Communications
Each battery used with your radio has a
microprocessor fitted, which logs the number of times
your battery has been charged.
On a radio with an LCD display, the number of times
the battery has been charged, together with the
remaining charge cycles available, will be shown during
switch on (if not de-activated by your dealer).
The warranty on all batteries is 12 months or 450
charge cycles, whichever is the sooner. After 420
cycles, at switch on the radio will emit a series of
short tones, and on LCD models a waste bin icon will
flash to alert you to the need to buy a new battery.
After 450 cycles, at switch on the radio will emit a
series of long beeps, and on LCD models the message
will change to BATTERY COUNT EXCEEDED
REPLACE BATTERY. The radio will continue to
operate but its operational time may be reduced,
eventually failing all together.
Note: only genuine Entel batteries should be used.
Only genuine batteries offer the battery charge count
feature informing you when the battery is reaching the
end of its useful life. Non ATEX batteries will not
work on ATEX radios ensuring customer safety.
Customer satisfaction is assured as you can not be
supplied with sub standard, potentially dangerous
battery packs from 3rd party manufacturers, ensuring
it delivers the expected capacity and endurance.
On HT series batteries a breathable membrane is
used. This is clearly marked on the battery label.
Piercing the membrane will allow water ingress to the
battery and will invalidate the warranty
