1) Ensure that the other party disables his scrambler too
2) Follow the above-mentioned step 2. The device will produce a low-
pitched beep to confirm that the scrambler is disabled.
If the scrambler is enabled, you can't receive unencrypted communi-
cations. In any case, in order to guarantee the communication, all the
radios that have to communicate each other must have the scrambler
enabled or disabled.
The scrambler can be disabled during the programming. In case of
doubts please contact your dealer/radio network manager.
As any coding device, even your transceiver's scrambler cannot gua-
rantee the communication security at 100%.

8 Care and maintenance

8.1 Battery Packs

8.1.a Properly charging battery packs
Should you properly use the battery pack, you will obtain at least 400
charging/discharging cycles with an excellent working life. To properly
charge the battery pack:
1) Ensure that the radio is switched off.
2) Insert the radio (or the battery pack) into the cradle as explained in the
paragraph 4.5.
3) Wait the necessary time to provide a full charge.
Don't overcharge the battery: always remember to remove the
radio after the necessary time.
The battery charger is for indoor use only.
When possible, charge the battery when it is fully discharged or, at
least, you have used it for the major part of its duty; otherwise the bat-
tery's duty could be temporarily reduced. Please see the paragraph
8.1.b.
Don't remove the radio before the necessary time, otherwise the bat-
tery's duty could be temporarily reduced. Please see the paragraph
8.1.b.
Rechargeable battery packs lose their charge with the time if left unu-
sed (self-discharge): this is normal. A NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydrate) bat-
tery can reduce 10 to 20% of its stored energy in a few days.
It is normal that the battery duty will progressively reduce after 2/3 of
its life (approx.).
