Batteries; Assistance - Midland 445 BT Instruction Manual

2.2.b Batteries
Before using the battery charger, carefully read all notes and
cautions regarding this equipment.
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals: doing so may
result in fire, burns, or explosions.
Never throw batteries into a fire or expose them to high
temperatures; doing so may cause fires or explosions.
Always follow the regulations set out by your country of
residence.
Use only the original batteries and battery charger. Use
of unapproved accessories may cause burns, fires, or
explosions, and may create serious damage to the radio/
batteries or to people.
The battery charger should only be used indoors.
Ensure your power supply conforms to the one required for
your battery charger (AC adaptor). If you are unsure, check
with your vendor or your local electricity supplier.
To avoid damaging the power cord to your battery charger,
connect it in a place where it will not be stepped on and
where nothing will be placed on top of it. Insert the prongs
into a socket that has been grounded.
Avoid shocks and excessive vibrations. Do not use the
battery charger if it has been subjected to strong shock,
had a fall, or if it appears damaged. Immediately contact an
authorized service centre.
Do not dismount the battery charger. Any repair work must
be performed exclusively by authorized service centers. For
further information, contact your local supplier.
To reduce the risk of electrical shocks, disconnect the power
cable before performing cleaning or maintenance. Grasp the
plug (not the cord!) when removing it from the socket. Use
of inappropriate extension cords may cause fire or electrical
shocks.
Do not expose the batteries directly to temperatures outside
the -20°C to +35°C range during storage and do not charge
them in temperatures outside the +5 to +55°C range.
