Precaution For Preventing Short-Circuit Of Battery - Alinco DJ-X7E Instruction Manual

Caution
• Do not modify, dismantle, incinerate, or immerse the
battery pack, as these practices can be dangerous.
• Do not short-circuit the terminals of the battery pack. This
2 may cause damage to the receiver. The short-circuit may
lead to overheating the battery, which causes burns.
• The battery pack should be stored in dry places where
the temperature range is between -20 to 45˚C (-4 to
113˚F). Leaving the battery pack exposed in high
humidity or outside the proper temperature range may
cause battery liquid leakage or rust on the metal portion.
• The battery pack is not charged when shipped. It
NOTE
must be charged before use.
• The battery pack can be charged by plugging the AC
adapter to the DC-IN jack of the receiver after
mounting it to the DJ-X7.
• It takes up to 2 hours and 30 minutes (maximum) to
fully charge.
• Charging should be conducted within a temperature
range of 0 to 40˚C (32 to 104˚F). Otherwise, the
battery won't be charged properly.
• Be sure to remove the battery pack when the receiver
is not in use for a long period.
• Typically, the battery pack can be charged up to 500
times. However, it is considered consumed if the period
of use significantly drops despite the battery being
charged for the aforementioned charging time. When
this happens, replace the old battery with a new one.
• In the interests of environmental protection, do not
dispose of the battery pack improperly. Check with
your local solid waste officials for details on recycling
options or proper disposal in your area.
• It is not necessary to turn the power OFF of the
receiver while charging. However, noise may occur
during reception.

■Precaution for preventing short-circuit of battery

Terminals
DON'T carry with any DON'T put it in bags
type of metals. (e.g. whose interior is
chains) plated with metal.
DON'T wrap with a
metal plated cloth.
Put it in a non-conductive plastic bag, or wrap it
with a non-conductive material when you carry.
Be extra cautious when
carrying the battery pack; the
short-circuit will produce surge
current possibly resulting in
fire.
DON'T place it in the
proximity of metals or
conductors. (e.g.
nails, chains)
Protect it by
spreading a non-
conductive sheet.
