C). This is important to prevent serious damage to the
battery cells.
Battery leakage may occur under extreme usage or
temperature conditions. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. The battery liquid is caustic and could cause chemical
burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact with skin, wash
quickly with soap and water. If the liquid contacts your eyes,
flush them with water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek
medical attention.
Place radio unit on flat non-flammable surfaces and
away from flammable materials when re-charging

proper air circulation which may cause overheating of the
charger and battery pack. If smoke or melting of the case
are observed unplug the charger immediately and do not
use the battery pack or charger.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
Bosch may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury
