Common
Warranty
The HT9XXT comes with a 24 month warranty, for details see our full terms & conditions. Advice · Do not use options or accessories not specified by
Entel · Ensure that the radio is used within the parameters
for which it was designed · Please switch the transceiver off before connecting
optional accessories
Warning
Turn the transceiver off in the following locations outside of the radio's ATEX approval rating: · In explosive atmospheres (flammable gas, dust
including metallic & grain powders etc) · Whilst taking on fuel or while parked near fuel
station · Near explosives or blasting sites · In aircraft, medical institutions or near persons
known to be wearing a pacemaker
Caution
· Do not disassemble or modify the transceiver for any reason
· Do not transmit while touching the antenna terminal or any exposed metallic parts of the aerial as this may result in a burn
· Please check and observe regulations in your country with regards to use whilst driving
End of Life Disposal
· When your Entel transceiver reaches the end of its useful life, please ensure that the unit is disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. For country specific information please see: www.entel.co.uk/recycling
Cleaning your Radio
After exposure to any potentially corrosive substance including salt water it is recommended to thoroughly wash the transceiver in fresh water. If washing with the battery removed from the radio, ensure that the battery is not immersed in water & clean only with a damp cloth.
Note: Do not wash the transceiver if you suspect the waterproofing seal may be damaged. Please return to your supplier for inspection / repair.
Battery care
Introduction
Your Entel radio is supplied with a high performance Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. These batteries: · Extend talk time · Reduce the battery's size and weight · Do not suffer from `memory effect' that reduces the
life of Ni-Cad and NiMH batteries · Have a low toxicity, therefore reducing the impact
on the environment
Battery Pack Precautions
· Switch the transceiver OFF before charging · Charge the battery pack before use · Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully
charged.This could lead to a premature battery replacement warning message (See Battery Communications on page 4) · Charge the battery in accordance with the instructions enclosed with your charger · Do not charge the transceiver and/or battery pack if they are wet The battery pack includes potentially hazardous components. Please: · Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery · Do not short-circuit the battery · Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery · Do not immerse the battery unless attached securly to the radio in water or get it wet by other means

Battery care / information
Common
· Do not charge the battery near fires or under direct sunlight
· Use only the specified charger and observe charging requirements
· Do not pierce the battery with any object or strike it with an instrument
· Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way
· Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery
· Do not touch a ruptured or leaking battery
If liquids from the battery get into your eyes, immediately:
· Wash your eyes out with fresh water avoiding rubbing them. Seek medical treatment
Battery Pack
· If a battery is not to be used for an extended period of time (e.g. several months) remove the battery pack from the equipment and store in a cool and dry location (around 0°C) part charged. Do not fully discharge the battery before storage.
· Each charge cycle reduces the battery's life. Minimise the number of times you charge your battery especially in hotter environments which further shortens a battery's life.
The battery pack has an over-current protection circuit fitted.When charging a completely discharged battery i.e. first charge, ensure the battery is removed from the radio and then re-attached (if fitted to radio when charging).This will reset the protection circuitry and ensure normal operation.This process will need to be repeated if the battery is allowed to completely discharge in the future. In normal use this is unlikely.
Battery Communications
Each battery used with your radio has a microprocessor fitted, which logs the number of times your battery has been charged. On a radio with an LCD display, the number of times the battery has been charged, together with the remaining charge cycles available, will be shown during switch on (if not de-activated by your dealer).
The warranty on all batteries is 12 months or 450 charge cycles, whichever is the sooner. After 420 cycles, at switch on the radio will emit a series of short tones, and on LCD models a waste bin icon will flash to alert you to the need to buy a new battery.
After 450 cycles, at switch on the radio will emit a series of long beeps, and on LCD models the message will change to BATTERY COUNT EXCEEDED REPLACE BATTERY. The radio will continue to operate but its operational time may be reduced, eventually failing all together.
Note: only genuine Entel batteries should be used. Only genuine batteries offer the battery charge count feature informing you when the battery is reaching the end of its useful life. Non ATEX batteries will not work on ATEX radios ensuring customer safety. Customer satisfaction is assured as you can not be supplied with sub standard, potentially dangerous battery packs from 3rd party manufacturers, ensuring it delivers the expected capacity and endurance. On HT series batteries a breathable membrane is used.This is clearly marked on the battery label. Piercing the membrane will allow water ingress to the battery and will invalidate the warranty.

SAFETY NOTES · HT Series V2 ATEX radios must always be used within the terms of their certification. · Keep the radios away from aggressive substances. If used in a hostile environment, extra
protection may be needed. · To prevent ignition of hazardous atmospheres, batteries must only be charged in an area
known to be non-hazardous. · Use of battery chargers other than the Entel charger supplied will invalidate the explosion
protection certification. · No unauthorised repairs are permitted. · This equipment is designed and manufactured to protect against other hazards as defined in
paragraph 1.2.7 of ATEX Annex II of the Directive 94/9/EC · Radios fitted with a CNB940E battery pack must not be used outside of the ambient
