BATTERY CARE
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
To take the battery out of the radio, remove the battery door pictured in FIG-1.  Use the pull-tab to remove the
battery.
Slide the replacement battery into the radio case.  Make sure the spring contacts are inserted between the battery
and paper insulator.  The contacts must not touch the radio PC board.
PRECAUTIONS
Use only RITRON-supplied chargers; other chargers might cause fire, explosion, or other damage to the
radio.
Do not "fast-charge" a brand new battery pack.  Otherwise, the battery might be damaged.
 
Once the battery has been charged fully using the normal rate, the fast rate may be used thereafter.
Do not fast-charge a battery pack that is fully charged.  This can shorten battery life.
Do not charge or replace a battery in an explosive atmosphere.  Contact sparking can ignite an explosion.
Do not dispose of a battery in fire.  An explosion might result.
Do not charge the battery in temperatures colder than about 45
°
F.  Electrolyte leakage can occur and ruin the
battery.
Charging in temperatures above approximately 95
°
F will not harm the battery, but can reduce its charge
capacity.
