To use the battery
Use only batteries approved by the communicator manufacturer and recharge
the battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. With
approved chargers and accessories, the battery can be charged continuously.
The battery need not be fully discharged before recharging. When a charger is
not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery
connected to a charger for longer than a week, since excessive charging may
shorten its life. If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over
time.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will
eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and standby time) is
noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: allow it
to cool down or warm up first.
Battery operation time is affected by the following: whether both the phone
and the communicator interface are on, radio signal strength, various phone
settings, the use of the backlight, and the length of the screen blanker period,
see ”System settings” on page 111.
It is recommended always to keep a charged battery in the communicator.
Keeping the battery charged maximises the lifetime of the backup battery
supplying power to the real-time clock of the communicator. In case the
backup battery is drained, it will be automatically charged the next time a
charged battery is reconnected to the communicator.
Always close the device cover before removing the battery. Closing the cover
will save all data.
Note
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a
metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes direct connection of the + and -
terminals of the battery (metal strips at the bottom of the battery), for
example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-
circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or
winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always
try to keep the battery between +15°C (+59°F) and +25°C (+77°F). A
communicator with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even
when the battery is fully charged. The performance of Lithium-ion batteries is
particularly limited in temperatures below 0°C (+32°F).
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Batteries must not
be disposed of in municipal waste.
