Important Information On Charging And Using Rechargeable Batteries - PERFECTPRO DABBOX Mode D'emploi

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON CHARGING AND USING
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
1. Recharge the batteries in any case at least every 2 months.
2. Make sure the Batteries/Charger switch inside the battery
compartment is set to the "Charger" position.
3. Put the batteries in the compartment whilst paying attention to the
correct polarity of the batteries (+ and -).
4. First use: Charge new batteries in one continuous, uninterrupted,
charge until they are full. This first charge may take longer than
normal. For longer battery life it is advised to always recharge in
one continuous, uninterrupted charge until batteries are full and to
not recharge again whilst the batteries are still full.
5. New batteries will only reach their full capacity after some time of
use (several charge - discharge cycles).
6. Leave the complete group of batteries in place inside the radio and
do not use these batteries or a few of them for other purposes. This
will result in a mix of (fully) charged and (partly) empty batteries.
This can seriously damage the batteries and radio when recharged.
7. It is advised to only charge batteries at room temperatures between
5 degrees C - 35 degrees C. In lower or higher temperatures full
charge cannot be achieved.
8. Depending on the capacity of the batteries, charging from "empty"
to "full" can take several hours, even up to 7 hours or more.
9. Do not charge batteries when the radio is hot or exposed to heat or
heat sources.
10. It is advised to clean the metal contacts of the batteries and of the
charger inside the radio e.g. with a contact-spray from time to time.
11. Do not use a mix of old and new rechargeable batteries.
12. Do not use a mix of rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
8
13. Do not use a mix of full and empty rechargeable batteries.
14. Do not use batteries that have a different mAh capacity.
15. Do not use damaged, deformed or leaking batteries.
16. Battery level indication is an approximate indication only and can
vary with battery type used.
17. Batteries can become hot during charging.
18. In cold conditions the capacity of batteries will be much lower than
when used at normal room temperature.
19. Batteries (even when supplied with the radio), as being
consumables, do not fall under the warranty conditions of the radio.
20. It is advised to use Perfectpro rechargeable batteries as the radio
and its charger were developed for use with these batteries.
21. Batteries should not be disposed of by incineration and with
household waste.
22. Disposable batteries should be taken to a suitable recycling centre
if possible.
