5. the transceiver Warning The use of non genuine chargers or batteries can cause damage to your unit or cause explosions and personal injuries Warning Never throw the batteries onto a fire or leave them near heat sources they can cause explosions and personal injuries To dispose of the batteries always follow local norms 4 2 Memory effect of the rechargeable batteries The Ni MH Nickel Metal Hydrate rechargeable batteries are virtually without what they call memory effect This effect demonstrates a drastic reduction in the battery duty and can be triggered off if systematically you recharge the battery pack before it has totally discharged and or you do not recharge it completely To avoid the symptoms of memory effect e When possible only recharge the battery pack when it s completely discharged i e when the device switches itself off in normal use e Do not disconnect the charger before the necessary time to fully recharge the batteries e Provide to fully discharge and recharge your battery pack at least twice a month In each case the best solution to avoid memory effect is to use two battery packs in rotation one in use and one spare To eliminate memory effect simply fully discharge the batteries and charge them three or four times 2 Note Memory effect should not be confused with the normal battery life that is on average 300 400 cycles of charging and discharging It is normal that the battery duty is reduced
6. when the batteries are reaching the end of their life cycle in this case please change the battery pack Page 7 of 16 4 3 Removal attachment of the belt clip The standard rear clip allows you to attach the transceiver easily to your belt Nevertheless this has to be removed when you have to remove the battery pack To remove the belt clip unscrew the screw 1 in the figure To reattach the clip to the unit place it in the appropriate slot on the back of the transceiver and screw it into place with the provided screws Warning Use a suitable screwdriver to avoid damaging the screws and pay attention that you tighten them with the right amount of force to guarantee a good attachment without damaging the thread Only use the screws supplied 4 4 Removal attachment of the battery pack 44a Removal 1 Remove the belt clip as explained in par 4 3 Unscrew the screw marked 2 which attach the battery pack to the unit 3 Remove the battery pack from the unit Reattach the belt clip 44b Attachment Remove the belt clip as explained in par 4 3 2 Insert the battery pack into the appropriate slot on the unit 3 Fixthe battery pack into place using the screw marked 2 4 Reattach the belt clip Warning Use a suitable screwdriver to avoid damaging the screws and pay attention that you tighten them with the right amount of force to guarantee a good attachment without damaging the thread Page 8 of 16 5 BASIC O
