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.
■
Fully charge the battery if storing for less than one month.
■
Charge non-IS batteries to about 30% if storing for longer than
one month.
■
When storing IS batteries for any length of time, fully charge the
battery and check periodically as it will discharge faster.
■
Store in a cool dry place.
Batteries that have been stored for any length of time must be
charged before being used. See
Disposing of batteries
Run the battery flat before disposing of it. When disposing of the
battery, be sure to do so in an environmentally sensitive manner.
Please contact your radio provider for information about recycling
programs in your area. See
information.
