Charging the battery
Your radio is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery may be
recharged many times but it will eventually need replacing to ensure
continuous maximum performance from your radio.
First time battery charging
New batteries (Standard battery part no. 300-01174 and High Capacity battery
part no. 300-01175) are supplied in 'storage mode' which means they have a
minimum amount of charge for storage purposes. Before using a new battery
for the first time it must be fully charged to reactivate it. If the battery is used
before it is reactivated (fully charged) the radio may not power on, or may
indicate a low battery status icon or low level of charge.
Battery chargers
Only use Sepura approved battery chargers. Use of non-approved chargers
may not fully charge the battery or damage it. Always read the user
documentation supplied with the charger for additional safety instructions
and how to use it.
Charging methods
The radio may be powered on or off during charging.
Attach the Charger cable to the sDAC connector at the base of the radio or
place the radio with battery attached into a charging dock. If the battery is
charged attached to the radio, and the radio is powered on, an indication of
the remaining time to fully charge the battery is displayed (in hh:mm format).
During charging, the tri-coloured LED on the radio indicates the charging
progress and the charging icon appears on the status line, providing there is
sufficient charge in the battery to support this function.
