SERVICE INFORMATION S.P. RADIO A/S - AALBORG - DANMARK PAGE 1


MARCH 1996 NUMBER 164A
LITHIUM BATTERIES SP3905
With this Service Information, we draw your attention to the fact that, after long-time storage, lithium
batteries may exercise a so-called delay effect, which renders it extremely difficult if not impossible to
draw power from the battery when it is first connected after storage.
The reason to this delay effect is that, throughout the storage period, a barrier is built in the battery in-
creasing its inner resistance. This barrier can be destroyed by exposing the battery to an adequate dis-
charge.
If you come across a battery that does not supply power, do as follows:
Activate the ON/OFF button until the VHF activates.
Please note that batteries with delay effect might give a longer switch-on-time.
It has been noted that the build up of the before-mentioned barrier is considerable increased if the bat-
tery is stored warmly, and therefore we strongly recommend that the lithium batteries are stored at tem-
peratures below 25C, for instance in a cupboard or a drawer where they are protected from direct sun-
light.
If you employ your SP3100 regularly, the storage position on the back of the SP3911 should not be used
as heat is generated by the charger when charging.
We ask you to please pass on the above information to those shipping companies that you know have
SAILOR SP3110 with lithium batteries.
If you have any questions in connection to the above, please do not hesitate to contact the Service De-
partment at S.P. Radio A/S.
Kind Regards
S.P. Radio A/S
