Information about the battery
The transceiver includes a Li-Ion 7.4V battery, with a capacity of 1500mAh.
Charge the battery before the first use of the transceiver or after a period of more than 2
months of storage. After 2-3 full charges and discharges, the battery reaches its maximum
operating capacity.
If the battery, although charged, provides an increasingly reduced duration of operation, it
means that its lifespan is exhausted. Replace the battery with a new one.
Charge the battery directly through the USB-C port or through the charging base provided in
the package. Full charging can take up to 5 hours.
WARNINGS
»Do not bring metal parts close to the battery terminals. Do not short-circuit the battery
terminals.
»Do not throw the battery into fire. Risk of explosion.
»Do not open the battery case.
»Do not charge the battery if the ambient temperature is outside the range +5°C ~ +40°C.
At temperatures that are too low or too high, the battery may not be charged to maximum
capacity.
