■ Battery cautions

CAUTION! NEVER
insert battery pack/transceiver
(with the battery pack attached) with wet or soiled into the
charger. This may result in corrosion of the charger terminals
or damage to the charger. The charger is not waterproof and
water can easily get into it.
NEVER
incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery
gas may cause an explosion.
NEVER
immerse battery pack in water. If the battery pack
becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry immediately (particularly
the battery terminals BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver).
NEVER
short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, cur-
rent may fl ow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace,
etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying in a pocket, backpack
or handbag, and when placing the radio near metal objects.
If your battery pack seem to have no capacity even after
being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power
ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If
the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little), new
battery pack must be purchased.
Turn the transceiver OFF when charging an attached bat-
tery pack. Otherwise, the battery pack may not become
full-charging or may not charge properly.
