titleHow do I keep batteries charged, ready for use, and manage battery storage?

a) If left attached to a radio it is best to recharge the battery as soon as possible after use, but in any case no more than 7-days. Please re-charge every 7-days if stored un-used on the radio (we strongly recommend storing un-used batteries off the radio).

b) For batteries left in storage off the radio, we recommend a monthly multi-meter voltage check to decide if they need topping up. If voltage drops below 7.0V, batteries should be recharged. Typically it takes it takes 3 months for a battery to self discharge from 8.0V to 7.0V.

Radio Operations (how to)

titleMy radio is not turning on

  1. Battery is not charged. Charge the radio for few minutes and then try again.

  2. Programming data is corrupted. Press and hold lower side button and then turn the radio on. Is the radio’s LED flashing red and green alternately? If so, the radio should be reprogrammed with fresh data.

  3. Firmware is corrupted. Press and hold upper side button and then turn the radio on. Is the radio’s LED flashing amber and red alternately? If so, the radio’s firmware should be upgraded.

  4. Faulty hardware. If radio is not responsive (i.e. not giving tone and LED indications) after switching the radio on, most likely the hardware is defective and must be returned for repair/replacement.
