components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metal surfaces or
objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc. When the battery pack is installed
on the transceiver, the terminals that transfer current to the transceiver are not
exposed. The terminals that are exposed on the battery pack when it is mounted
on the transceiver are charging terminals only and do not constitute a hazard.
DO NOT INCINERATE: Do not dispose of any battery in a fire or incinerator. The
heat of fire may cause battery cells to explode and/or release dangerous gases.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose
of used batteries according to the instructions.
Battery Maintenance
For safe and proper battery use, please observe the following:
 Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments.
 Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries.
 Use only a STANDARD HORIZON-approved charger. The use of any
other charger may cause permanent damage to the battery.
 Follow charging instructions provided with the chargers.
 Keep the battery contacts clean.
Battery Storage
Store the batteries in a cool place to maximize storage life. Since batteries are
subject to self-discharge, avoid high storage temperatures that cause large
self-discharge rates. After extended storage, a full recharge is recommended.
Battery Recycling
DO NOT PLACE USED BATTERIES IN THE REGULAR TRASH!
LI-ION BATTERIES MUST BE COLLECTED, RECYCLED OR DISPOSED
OF IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE MANNER.
The incineration, landfill disposal, or mixing of Li-ion batter-
ies with the municipal solid waste stream is PROHIBITED
BY LAW in most areas.
Return batteries to an approved Li-ion battery recycler. This
may be available where the battery was purchased.
Contact your local waste management officials for other
information regarding the environmentally safe collection,
recycling and disposal of Li-ion batteries.
