Battery Tips:

• Before you take out a battery or are inserting a new one into a belt pack, always turn off the drive-thru belt pack.
• If your system uses a NiCd battery, always wait until it is fully drained before recharging the battery. You should receive an alert to let you know the battery is almost depleted. If you recharge before it reaches this point it will reduce the life span and its ability to hold a charge.
• This same rule should be applied to when you are charging your batteries. Wait until the green light is lit up for the battery, indicating the charge is complete. This is when you may remove the battery from the charging station without damaging the life span of the battery itself. Although, it is ok to leave fully charged batteries on the charger until they are ready to be used.
