Caution! Risk of damage to the radio. If a Belt clip or Shirt/Pocket clip is fitted to the
radio, lift the Belt clip or Shirt/Pocket clip before attempting to remove the battery. Do not
attempt to remove the battery from the battery compartment sideways under the clip. This
may result in damage to the radio and the belt clip.
Push the safety latch on the bottom of the battery. Lift the battery upwards and remove.
Using Sepura approved batteries
When the radio is powered on, it checks the authenticity of the battery. There are a number of battery
management features that only work when a genuine Sepura battery is fitted to the radio, including:
the remaining battery charge appears as a percentage when your radio is powered on
[customisable];
battery meter icons, showing the remaining battery charge;
a low battery warning appears when charge is low; and
allowing the user to check the battery information, such as its authenticity, remaining charge
and serial number [customisable].
If a non-approved battery is used, the radio displays a warning message when powered on. Press
any key to clear the message.
Caution! Risk of damage to the radio. Non-approved batteries may not have inbuilt safety
protection features, and could potentially damage the radio (invalidating any product
warranty) and affect the radio's safety and IP compliance ratings.
Getting information about your battery
You can view information about the battery attached to the radio, such as the remaining battery
charge, whether the battery is authenticated (a genuine Sepura battery) and the battery serial
number [customisable].
Select Menu > Options > Battery Information.
The display shows:
Charge—the current remaining charge given as a percentage
Authenticated/Unauthenticated—a Sepura/non-Sepura battery is fitted
