Sangean DPR-67 User Manual page 24

If you only listen to your radio for short periods, you do not need to
connect your radio to the mains to charge the batteries every time
that you use it. However, if the radio is not to be used for a few
weeks, then we recommend that the batteries are fully charged (bat-
tery light shows steady green) before the radio is put to one side.
If you intend not to use your radio for some months, then we recom-
mend that the batteries are removed and put away, keeping them in
a cool place out of reach of children, away from moisture and such
that no metal object can contact the battery terminals.
With care, rechargeable batteries can last a long time and can oper-
ate for many hundreds of charge and discharge cycles. When your
rechargeable batteries can no longer power your radio adequately,
please dispose of them thoughtfully.

To avoid danger and risk of injury, please follow
these guide lines
Improper use of batteries may result in leakage of fluid, overheating
or explosion. Battery fluid is corrosive and may also be toxic. Bat-
tery fluid can cause skin burns, can damage the eyes, and can be
harmful if swallowed.
. Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
2. Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate or dispose of batteries by
burning.
3. Do not mix different battery types or old and new batteries.
Always replace all the batteries at the same time.
4. Do not carry or store batteries such that metal objects may contact
the end caps.
5. Remove batteries from the radio if they are worn out or if you are
storing it for a long time.
6. Remove old or worn out batteries promptly, and recycle or dispose
of them according to the regulations applicable to your location.
7. If a battery does leak, remove all batteries from the product, taking
care to avoid directly touching the leaked fluid. If the fluid contacts
skin or clothes wash with water immediately. Before inserting new
batteries, thoroughly clean the battery compartment with a damp
paper towel, or follow the battery manufacturer's advice for clean up.
