Storing batteries
When not in use for a month or more, batteries should
be stored correctly to prolong their life:
!
Remove the battery from the radio before storage.
!
Store the battery (in either a charged or discharged
state) in a cool dry place.
Using nickel-based batteries after storage
Batteries that have been stored for any length of time
must be charged before being used. See
When first using nickel-based batteries that have been in
storage for three months or more, you may notice that
they do not last an entire shift. This is normal. If stored
properly, the battery’s optimal capacity should be restored
after two or three shifts (charge/discharge cycles).
Disposing of batteries
Batteries should be disposed of properly. NiCd (nickel
cadmium) batteries contain cadmium which, if disposed
of in landfills, is very hazardous to the environment.
Please contact your radio provider for information on
recycling programs in your area.
