■ Caution
R DANGER! NEVER short terminals (or charging terminals) of the
battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such
as a necklace, so be careful when placing battery packs (or the
transceiver) in handbags, etc.
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a neck-
lace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not only the bat-
tery pack, but also the transceiver.
R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal bat-
tery gas may cause an explosion.
R DANGER! NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the bat-
tery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching
it to the transceiver.
CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified temperature
range, –5˚C to +60˚C (+23˚F to +140˚F). Using the battery out of its
specified temperature range will reduce the battery's performance
and battery life.
CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left com-
pletely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment
(above +55˚C; +131˚F) for an extended period of time. If the battery
must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the
radio after charging. Keep it safely in a cool dry place at the follow-
ing temperature range:
–20˚C to +45˚C (–4˚F to +113˚F)
–20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F)
–20˚C to +25˚C (–4˚F to +77˚F)
* We recommend charging the battery pack every 6 months.
Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or misscontact.
Keep the battery terminals clean. It's a good idea to clean the bat-
tery terminals once a week.
