reduces the life of Ni-Cad and NiMH
batteries
•Have a low toxicity, therefore reducing the
impact on the environment
Battery Care
Battery Pack Precautions

Battery Care / Information
Common
The battery pack includes potentially
hazardous components. Please:
•Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery
•Do not short-circuit the battery
•Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery
•Do not immerse the battery in water or get
it wet by other means
•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 on your
skin or 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.
Battery Communications
Each battery used with your radio has a
microprocessor fitted, which logs the number of
times your battery has been charged. On the
advanced 8-key and 20-key display models, the
number of times the battery has been charged,
together with the remaining charge cycles
available, will be shown during switch on.This
information may also be accessed and displayed
via the menu. (If not de-activated by your dealer)
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.
Genuine batteries ensure customer satisfaction
delivering the expected capacity and endurance.
This cannot be guaranteed with sub standard,
potentially dangerous battery packs from 3rd
party manufacturers.
After 450 cycles, at switch on the radio will emit
a series of long beeps, and LCD models the
message will change to CHARGE COUNT
EXCEEDED REPLACE BATTERY. The radio will
continue to operate but its operational time
may be reduced, eventually failing all together
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.
