Misuse of Lithium-ion batteries may result in the following

•

hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse

can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of

battery performance.

• Prior to using the battery pack for the first time, or after not

using it for a long time, you must fully charge the pack.

Otherwise, the transceiver may not turn ON.

D Battery caution

R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the battery.

Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted or dropped,

or if the battery has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery

damage may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the

surface of the battery does not show cracks or any other damage,

the cells inside the battery may rupture or catch fire.

R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas with

temperatures above +60˚C. High temperature buildup in the bat-

tery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated

car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture or catch

fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery perform-

ance or shorten battery life.

R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, saltwater,

or any other liquids. Never charge or use a wet battery. If the bat-

tery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. The battery is

not waterproof.

R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since internal

battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may cause an explosion.

R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals or NEVER

modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the

battery may rupture, emit smoke or catch fire.
