Please charge the included TERA battery for 1-2 hours before use. Leave the radio or battery pack in the supplied charger cup until the red charging light goes off and the green LED light comes on which indicates the battery pack is fully charged and ready to use. Note: 1. Do not short-circuit the battery terminals or dispose the battery in fire. Never attempt to disassemble the battery pack. 2. Charge the battery in 32-105 F temperature. Otherwise the battery may not fully charge. 3. Turn off the radio before your initial charge. Use of the radio while charging may cause noise or interfere during reception or transmission. TERA 4. Avoid pulling the Radio in and out of the charger during charging to avoid interference with the charging procedure. 5. If the battery life quickly runs down even if it is fully and correctly charged, this means the battery life is over and this battery will need replacing. Please contact your authorized TERA dealer to purchase a new battery. 6. NEVER charge the battery or radio with battery if they are wet. Before charging, you should dry battery off with a towel or cloth to avoid danger. Warning: Conductive metals such as jewelry, keys or coins may result in short circuit and generate a large quantity of heat when coming to contact with battery electrodes. Treat any battery carefully especially when placing it into pocket, wallet or other metal container as they can short out. TR-505 11 Charging The Battery Pack The Radio Battery Pack may be charged either by itself or when connected to the radio body. To Charge your Battery Pack: 12 1. Insert the AC power cord into the rear of the desk top charging base. Connect the opposite AC cord and safely plug it into an AC power outlet. 2. Place the battery pack or radio with battery into the charging base with the radio facing forward. 3. A solid red colored LED light will come ON indicating fast charging function. The LED light will change to a green color once the battery pack is fully charged. Typical charging time is 1/2-2 hours depending on your battery level at the time of re-charging. TERA 4. NOTE: If the desk charger has a FLASHING red colored LED light, this means the battery pack is completely discharged. The charger will automatically slow charge the battery pack for 30 minutes then switch to the normal solid red LED charging mode. If the battery charger stays in the FLASHING red LED mode more than 30 minutes, the battery pack may need to be replaced. Note Trickle charge is not allowed to exceed 30 minutes. If the LED is still flashing in red after 30 minutes, it means that the charger cannot provide power to the battery. Check if the battery or charger is damaged. Caution when Charging the Battery 1. The battery is not fully charged from the factory. Please charge the battery before initial use or after long-period of storage. 2. Repeat charging 2 to 3 times will make the battery reach its best capacity. Please replace or charge the battery if battery power is low. 3. The supplied Li-ion battery includes a (6) six month warranty and is good for typically 400-500 charging cycles.

TERA Safety The TERA TR-505 handheld transceiver has been carefully designed to provide you with years of safe, reliable operation. As with all electrical equipment, however, there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or damaging the radio: • Read the instructions in this handbook carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference. • Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the radio and owner’s manual. • Do not carry the transceiver by the antenna. This may damage the antenna or antenna terminal. Grasp the handheld by its base (not the antenna) when you need to place or remove it. • Do not keep the radio with the antenna very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, while transmitting. TERA radios will perform best, if you speak 2-4 inches away from the microphone and the radio is vertical. • Be sure the “PTT” key is not pressed when you do not need to transmit. • Do not operate the radio near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. • Do not transmit without the antenna fitted on the radio. TR-505 35 36 • Respect the environment conditions. The radio is designed to be used in heavy environments, however avoid exposing it to extremely hot or cold temperature (out of the range between –20 to +140°F). Do not expose the transceiver to excessive vibrations as well as dusty or rainy locations. • Never try to disassemble or service the radio by yourself (aside from the routine maintenance described in this handbook). It may cause damage to the radio transceiver and void your warranty requiring extensive repair work. Always contact your local dealer for assistance. • Use only authorized accessories. Using non TERA radio brand accessories may seriously damage your handheld transceiver and void your warranty. • Do Not spill liquid of any kind into your radio. If the transceiver gets wet, immediately dry it by a soft and clean cloth. • Switch the radio off before you clean it. Follow the directions described in the paragraph “Care and maintenance”. • Handle the battery properly. Never place the LI-ion battery in your pocket or purse with loose coins. This could result in short circuiting the battery. • Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed for the supplied battery charger (AC adapter). If you are not sure, check with your authorized TERA dealer. TERA • Avoid damaging the power cable of the battery charger. Do not step on or place anything on it as this could result in a damaged charger power cord. This product complies with the requirements of the Council Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the member states relating to electromagnetic compatibility and low voltage. 37 TR-505 Your TERA 2-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for uncontrolled RF exposure environment at operating duty factors of up to 50% transmitting. In terms of measuring RF energy .for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines , your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
