BATTERY CHARGING

■ Charging caution

R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery
pack in areas with extremely high
temperatures, such as near fires or stoves,
inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct
sunlight. In such environments, the safety/
protection circuit in the battery will activate,
causing the battery to stop charging.
R WARNING! NEVER charge the
transceiver during a lightning storm. It may
result in an electric shock, cause a fire or
damage the transceiver. Always disconnect
the power adapter before a storm.
R WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the
battery in the battery charger beyond the
specified time for charging. If the battery
is not completely charged by the specified
time, stop charging and remove the battery
from the battery charger. Continuing to
charge the battery beyond the specified
time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or
the battery may rupture.
CAUTION: DO NOT insert the transceiver
(battery attached to the transceiver) into
the charger if it is wet or soiled. This could
corrode the battery charger terminals or
damage the charger. The charger is not
waterproof.
CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery
pack outside of the specified temperature
range: 10˚C ~ 40˚C (50˚F ~ 104˚F).
Otherwise, the charging time will be
longer, but the battery will not reach a full
charge. While charging, at a point after
the temperature goes out of the specified
range, the charging will automatically stop.
