3. සැකසුම සහ මූලික ආරෝපණය

Upon delivery, your EMPIRE EPP-FNB57 battery is not fully charged. For optimal performance and battery longevity, it is crucial to perform an initial charge.

1. මූලික ගාස්තුව: Recharge the battery overnight (approximately 12-16 hours) before its first use. Use a compatible Yaesu/Vertex charger designed for Ni-CD batteries.
2. බැටරිය ඇතුල් කිරීම: Align the battery with the battery compartment on your Yaesu/Vertex two-way radio. Slide the battery into place until it clicks securely. Ensure it is firmly seated to maintain proper electrical contact.
3. බැටරිය ඉවත් කිරීම: To remove, locate the battery release latch (if present on your radio model), depress it, and slide the battery out.

4. මෙහෙයුම් උපදෙස්

Once the battery is properly installed and charged, your radio is ready for operation.

• බල ගැන්වීම / අක්රිය කිරීම: Refer to your specific Yaesu/Vertex radio's user manual for instructions on powering the device on and off. The battery provides the necessary power for the radio's functions.
• බැටරි ආයු කාලය: The actual operating time will vary depending on your radio model, transmission power, usage patterns (transmit/receive/standby ratio), and environmental conditions.
• භාවිතයේදී ආරෝපණය කිරීම: Some radio models may support charging while the radio is in operation. Consult your radio's manual for this feature.

5. නඩත්තු කිරීම හා ගබඩා කිරීම

Proper maintenance and storage will extend the life of your Ni-CD battery.

• නිතිපතා ආරෝපණය කිරීම: Ni-CD batteries benefit from being fully discharged periodically before recharging to prevent the "memory effect." However, avoid prolonged deep discharge, which can damage the cells.
• ආරෝපණ පරිසරය: Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area at room temperature. Avoid charging in extremely hot or cold conditions.
• පිරිසිදු කිරීම: Keep the battery contacts clean using a dry, lint-free cloth. Dirty contacts can interfere with charging and power delivery.
• ගබඩා: If storing the battery for an extended period, ensure it is partially charged (not fully charged or fully discharged). Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• බැහැර කිරීම: When the battery reaches the end of its life, do not dispose of it in household waste. Ni-CD batteries contain cadmium, which is a hazardous substance. Recycle it at an authorized battery recycling facility.

6. දෝශ නිරාකරණය

If you encounter issues with your battery, consider the following common solutions:
