Battery Indicator
For your safety and convenience your transceiver
continually monitors the battery pack and gives an
indication on the LCD:
• 3 Segments: Fully charged
• 2 Segments: 1 hour
• 1 Segment: 20 mins
Note: Only genuine Entel batteries should be used.
With Entel batteries customer satisfaction is
assured, as you avoid risks from sub standard,
potentially dangerous battery packs from 3rd party
manufacturers, ensuring it delivers the expected
capacity and endurance.
On HT series batteries a breathable membrane is
used. This is clearly marked on the battery label.
Piercing the membrane will allow water ingress to
the battery and will invalidate the warranty.
Battery Communications
Each battery used with your radio has a
microprocessor fitted, which logs the number of
times your battery has been charged.
On a radio with an LCD display, the number of
times the battery has been charged, together with
the remaining charge cycles available, will be shown
during switch on (if not de-activated by your
dealer).
The warranty on all batteries is the same as the
radio or 450 charge cycles, whichever is the sooner.
After 420 cycles, at switch on the radio will emit a
series of short tones, and on LCD models a waste
bin icon will flash to alert you to the need to buy a
new battery.
