Otherwise, the terminals will become corroded, or cause con-
nection failure, etc.
NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, current
may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace, etc.
Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near
metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc.
AVOID leaving the battery pack in a fully charged, or com-
pletely discharged condition for long time. It causes shorter
battery life. In case of leaving the battery pack unused for a
long time, it must be kept safely after discharge, or use the
battery until the battery indicator shows the middle level, then
remove it from the transceiver.
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after
being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power
ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the
battery pack still does not retain a charge
