SP-400 Series User’s Guide

To avoid damaging the power cable of the battery
charger, do not put anything on it or place it where it
will be walked on.

Do not use the charger if it received a strong shock,
has been dropped or it appears damaged. Contact
your dealer or communications coordinator for a
replacement charger.

Never try to disassemble or service the charger
yourself. Always contact your local dealer or
communications coordinator for assistance.

To reduce the risk of electric shocks disconnect the
AC power source before performing any cleaning or
maintenance on the charger.

Battery performance will be degraded when exposed
to temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or greater than
35°C (95°F) during their use. The batteries should
only be charged when temperatures are in the range
of +5°C (41°F) to +40°C (104°F).
Recharging battery packs

Full battery capacity will only be achieved after cycling
the battery through 3-4 full charging/discharging cycles.

Should you properly use the battery pack, you will obtain
at least 300 charging/discharging cycles with the smart
charger. The battery capacity will progressively reduce
after about 2/3 of its life.

Rechargeable battery packs lose their charge over time
if left unused (self-discharge). This is normal. A NiMH
(Nickel Metal Hydride) battery can lose 10 to 20% of its
stored energy in few days.
