Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will
reduce the battery's performance and battery life. Please
note that the specified temperature range of the battery may
exceed that of the transceiver. In such cases, the trans-
ceiver may not work properly because it is out of its operat-
ing temperature range.
CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is
