Important information on charging and using rechargeable batteries
1.
Recharge the batteries in any case at least every 2 months.
2.
Make sure the Battery Select switch inside the battery compartment is set to the "NiMH" position.
3.
Put the batteries in the compartment while paying attention to the correct polarity of the batteries (+ and -).
4.
First use: Charge new batteries in one continuous, uninterrupted, charge until they are full. This first charge may
take longer than normal. For longer battery life it is advised to always recharge in one continuous, uninterrupted
charge until batteries are full and to not recharge again while the batteries are still full.
5.
New batteries will only reach their full capacity after some time of use (several charge and discharge cycles).
6.
Leave the complete group of batteries in place inside the radio and do not use these batteries or a few of them
for other purposes. This will result in a mix of (fully) charged and (partly) empty batteries. This can seriously
damage the batteries and radio when recharged.
7.
It is advised to only charge batteries at room temperatures between 5 degrees C – 35 degrees C. In lower or
higher temperatures full charge cannot be achieved.
8.
Depending on the capacity of the batteries, charging from "empty" to "full" can take several hours, even up to 6
hours or more.
9.
Do not charge batteries when the radio is hot or exposed to heat or heat sources.
10.
It is advised to clean the metal contacts of the batteries and of the charger inside the radio e.g. with a contact-
spray from time to time.
11.
Do not use a mix of old and new rechargeable batteries.
12.
Do not use a mix of rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
13.
Do not use a mix of full and empty rechargeable batteries.
GB
14.
Do not use batteries that have a different mAh capacity.
15.
Do not use damaged, deformed or leaking batteries.
F
16.
Battery level indication is an approximate indication only and can vary with battery type that is used.
17.
E
Batteries can become hot during charging.
18.
In cold conditions the capacity of batteries will be much lower than when used at normal room temperature.
NL
19.
Batteries (even when supplied with the radio), as being consumables, do not fall under the warranty conditions
of the radio.
D
20.
Batteries should not be disposed of by incineration and with household waste.
21.
Disposable batteries should be taken to a suitable recycling center if possible.
22.
CAUTION
Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
