About The Battery Pack - Alinco DJ-X2000 Instruction Manual

1.5.2 About the battery pack

Before using the included EBP-37N battery pack, please note the followings.
1. The battery pack is not charged before it is shipped from the factory. Charge
the pack before using the DJ-X2000 for the first time.
2. Approximately 1 hour is required to fully charge the battery pack with the
charger.
3. Charge batteries only in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F~104°F).
4. DANGER! Do not disassemble, tamper with, heat or wet the battery pack.
5. Do not short-circuit battery pack terminals. This can generate heat inside the
pack resulting in burns and/or damage to the pack.
6. Do not overcharge the battery pack. Overcharging can lead to battery
performance loss.
7. Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place where temperature is between
-20°C and 45°C(-4°F~113°F). Environments outside this range can cause
battery acid to leak and metal parts to rust.
8. The battery pack can be fully recharged approximately 300 times. When a
fully charged battery pack lasts considerably less than expected, it is time to
replace it with a fresh pack.
9. Do not throw away dead Ni-Cd battery packs. They can be recycled. Give
them to stores which accept old batteries.
10. Do not charge an unexhausted battery pack repeatedly. It may shorten the
operating time of a battery pack.
• To prevent battery pack short-circuiting
When carrying the battery pack, be extremely careful not to short-circuit the
terminals. If short-circuited, the high surge in current could heat up the pack,
resulting in burns or fire.
1. Keep the battery pack away from metal objects such as necklaces, etc.
2. Do not keep the battery pack inside bags with metal-plated linings or wrap it in
handkerchiefs with metallic thread or print.
3. Do not leave the battery pack in proximity of electro-conductive materials or
metal objects such as nails or chains.
4. Place the battery pack in an electrically-insulated bag or wrap it in a
handkerchief before putting it in your handbag, etc.
5. Place the battery pack on an electrically-insulated mat when setting it on a flat
surface.
