D Precaution
NEVER incinerate used battery cells since internal battery
gas may cause them to rupture.
NEVER expose a detached battery case to water. If the bat-
tery case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using it.
NEVER short the terminals of the battery case. Also, cur-
rent may flow into nearby metal objects. Therefore, be care-
ful when carrying with, or placing near metal objects, carrying
in bags and so on.
When installing battery cells, make sure they are all the same
brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old bat-
tery cells together.
Install conventional alkaline cells only. Other type of batter-
ies, such as Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Li-ion, cannot be used.
Remove the alkaline cells when leaving the battery case un-
used for long time.
Keep battery contacts clean. It's a good idea to occasionally
clean the battery terminals.
Alkaline cells have a shorter operating time compared to
Tabs
Li-ion battery cells. Also, the operating time differs by brand,
as well as the model type of the alkaline cell being used.
Therefore, it is recommended that you use the Li-ion battery
pack, or take spare alkaline cells with you when intending to
use the transceiver frequently, or for long periods.
