BATTERY PACKS
' ' Battery cautions
• CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack (or
charging terminals of the transceiver). Also, current may flow into
nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful when plac-
ing battery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc.
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a neck-
lace, etc. causes shorting. This will damage not only the battery
pack, but also the transceiver.
• NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may
cause an explosion.
• NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack be-
comes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the
transceiver.
• Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or miss contact.
• Keep battery contacts clean. It's a good idea to clean battery ter-
minals once a week.
If your Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery pack seems to have no capacity
even after being charged, completely discharge it, then fully charge
the battery pack again. If the battery pack still does not retain a
charge (or only very little charge), a new battery pack must be pur-
chased.
