Important Tips for Care and Storage of Shure Rechargeable Batteries

Proper care and storage of Shure batteries results in reliable performance and ensures a long lifetime.

Always store batteries and transmitters at room temperature

Ideally, batteries should be charged to approximately 40% of capacity for long-term storage

Periodically clean the battery contacts with alcohol to maintain ideal contact

During storage, check batteries every 6 months and recharge to 40% of capacity as needed

For additional rechargeable battery information, visit www.shure.com.

Note: A Battery Hot warning indicates that transmitter battery needs to cool off. Otherwise, the transmitter will shut down. Let

the device cool down and then consider swapping the transmitter battery to continue operation.

Identify any possible external heat sources to the transmitter and operate the transmitter away from those external heat

sources.

All batteries should be stored and operated away from external heat sources in reasonable temperature conditions for best

performance.
