  20. ACT - THE CHARGING STANDARDTechnical Advantage WWW.ACTCHARGE.COM

  21. ACT - THE CHARGING STANDARDTechnical Advantage 7. Only charge batteries when they need it. If it isn’t fully discharged, don’t recharge it. (We recommend your purchase a second battery for multiple/longer duty cycle applications.) 8. Do not return fully charged batteries to the charger for an “extra boost”. This action will significantly reduce cycle life. 9. Stabilize battery to room temperature (72°F) before charging. Charging below 40°F & above 104°F will decrease cycle life. 10. For optimum battery life and operation use XXXXXXX brand, or a XXXXXXX recommended replacement charger. These simple instructions protect your rechargeable batteries from extreme temperatures and enhance their performance and life. Specify XXXXXXX brand rechargeable batteries. They were designed & precisely manufactured by XXXXXXX engineers to ensure optimum portable radio performance. It just makes good sense. Rechargeable Battery Care and Tips: These battery tips will help assure you the highest performance and longest cycle life from your XXXXXXX rechargeable battery. 1. Charge your new battery overnight (14-16 Hours) before using it. This is referred to as :initializing: and will enable you to obtain maximum battery capacity. 2. New batteries can be stored up to two years without significant cycle loss. 3. Store new/unused batteries, at room temperature, in cool dry area. 4. Batteries which have been in storage should be charged overnight. 5. When using a XXXXXXX rapid charger, leave battery in charger for an additional 1-2 hours after the green light appears. 6. Do not leave your radio & battery in the charger when not charging. Continuous charging will shorten battery life. (Don’t use your charger as a radio stand.) WWW.ACTCHARGE.COM

  35. ACT - THE CHARGING STANDARD What Customers Are Saying! “After evaluating the ACT charger / Conditioner we have replaced two-thirds of our standard Kenwood chargers with ACTivators. The ACTivator has become a major asset in restoring confidence in our radio communications and we can now provide a more efficient and reliable service to our officers and to the general public. A major advantage to me is that when we switch to TETRA I can use the same charger and just change adapters. Andy Sanderson Technical Officer, Information Systems Dept. South Yorkshire Police WWW.ACTCHARGE.COM

  36. ACT - THE CHARGING STANDARD What Customers Are Saying! “We carried out a detailed evaluation of the ACTivator, we found that it exceeded the companies claims in recovering older batteries. We purchased a small number of units for our own use. The ACT charger proved very useful in preparing the high number of batteries required to Police the recently held Conservative Party Conference at Blackpool. The speed with which it formed new batteries, <2hrs, and the fast charge time of approximately 30 minutes meant that we significantly reduced the preparation time. Derek Wignal Radio Comms Dept Lancashire Police WWW.ACTCHARGE.COM

  37. ACT - THE CHARGING STANDARDCustomer Results • Customers can tell the difference • Users Attribute better performance to OEM device (Radio Works Better) WWW.ACTCHARGE.COM

  38. ACT - THE CHARGING STANDARDSummary of the selling points • Fastest Charger - 30 minutes for 1200mAh • Fewer bays required per radio • Greatest possible availability • Conditions Battery to a Like New Condition / each charge • Eliminates Memory Effect • No Heat - Batteries are not cooked • Two to Three Times Life Improvement • Patented process, reduces battery expenses • Last Battery Charger You Will Ever Purchase • Universal Adapters for Most Radios • Field Upgradeable WWW.ACTCHARGE.COM
