Midland Radio F-10 owner manual Please Always Dispose of Batteries Properly

OWNER’S MANUAL FOR THE F-10 (FRS)

CARE OF RECHARGEABLE NI-CAD AND NI-MH BATTERIES

PLEASE ALWAYS DISPOSE OF BATTERIES PROPERLY

Always follow the battery manufacturers recommendations for charging and disposing of Ni-Cad and Ni-MH batteries.

General information regarding Ni-Cad/Ni-MH batteries;

1.Occasionally allow the batteries to fully discharge before recharging. Full discharge will be indicated by the low battery indicator coming on during receive operation.

2.Always allow the battery to fully charge before using. This requires 10 hours with

the approved charger. (Ni-MH batteries require 16 hours for full charge.)

3.The above will prevent the batteries from developing “memory” which effectively reduces their capacity.

4.It is better to store Ni-Cad batteries that are discharged rather than charged.

Ni-MH batteries are best stored charged.
