Charging Precautions; Battery Charging - Team Electronic TeCom-DualBand PMR/FreeNet Manual De Usuario

English
- Do not pierce or strike the battery with any object or step on it!
This may break or deform the battery, causing a short circuit. The battery may gen-
erate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
- Do not jar or throw the battery!
An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or smoke, rupture, and/or
burst into flame. If the battery's protection circuit is damaged, the battery may charge
at an abnormal current (or voltage), and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur.
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
- Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
- Do not solder directly onto the battery!
If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function is damaged, the
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
- Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!
When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. In
some cases, an unexpected large amount of current may flow upon discharging. The
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
- Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!
The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery pack does not
smoothly connect with a charger or operating equipment, do not force it; check the
polarity of the battery. If the battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will
be reverse-charged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
- Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery!
If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash your eyes out with
fresh water as soon as possible, without rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital imme-
diately. If left untreated, it may cause eye-problems.
WARNING
- Do not charge the battery for longer than the specified time!
If the battery pack has not finished charging even after the regulated time has passed,
stop the charging process. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst
into flame.
- Do not place the battery pack into a microwave or high pressure container!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
- Keep ruptured and leaking battery packs away from fire!
If the battery pack is leaking (or the battery emits a bad odor), immediately remove it
from flammable areas. Electrolyte leaking from battery can easily catch on fire and
cause the battery to generate smoke or burst into flame.
- Do not use an abnormal battery!
If the battery pack emits a bad odor, appears to have different coloring, is deformed, or
seems abnormal for any other reason, remove it from the charger or operating equipment
and do not use it. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.

Charging Precautions

The transceiver is equipped with a TEAM Li-Ion battery pack (7.4 V / 1300 mAh). The
following tips help you to obtain the best battery performance and a prolonged battery
life.
- Charge the new battery pack continuously for 4~5 hours before its initial using, which
ensures the maximum battery capacity and best performance in using.
- Do not attempt to charge the TEAM battery pack in any other charger than the one
included in the scope of delivery.
- The battery pack can be charged while in the transceiver, and to ensure it is fully
charged it's recommended to charge the battery pack with the transceiver turned off.
- The ideal temperature to store the battery pack is 25 °C (room temperature). Charging
the battery pack at a low temperature (below 0°C) will cause electrolyte leakage and
damage to the battery pack.
- Charging the battery pack at a high temperature (above 35 °C ) will cause decrease
in battery discharge capacity and affect the transceiver performance.
- The new or used battery should be stored in a cool and dry place.
- If recharge the battery pack after long storage, you should charge it continuously for
4~5 hours.
- Do not leave the transceiver and the battery in the charger when not charging. Over-
charging will shorten the battery's life. Do not use the charger as a base station.
- After the battery life expires, the Li-Ion battery pack has to be recycled appropriately.

Battery Charging

A new battery, or a battery with low power level needs to be charged completely.
Red LED - Red The battery is in the state of charging.
Green LED - Green The battery is fully charged
1) Plug the adapter into an AC wall outlet. The LED will light red for a short time before
it turns off. Now, the charger is ready to be used.
2) Place the battery or transceiver into the charger slot. The LED starts blinking every two
seconds. Charging time depends on battery capacity. When battery is fully charged, the
LED turns green.
Notes:
1) The battery is not fully charged in the factory.
Before the initial use, please charge the new battery continuously for 4~5 hours.
2) The charger will stop charging and the left, red LED will go off. If the charger detects
a damaged battery or if the temperature of the battery is too high, then the right LED
will light yellow.
3) The charger detects if the battery is fully charged and stops charging.
