perature range for the transcever (–15˚C to +55˚C) and
the battery tself (–20˚C to +60˚C). Usng the battery out
of ts specfied temperature range wll reduce the battery's
performance and battery lfe. Please note that the spec-
fied temperature range of the battery may exceed that of

work properly because t s out of ts operatng temperature
range.
• CAUTION! Shorter battery lfe could occur f the battery s
left fully charged, completely dscharged, or n an excessve
temperature envronment (above +45˚C) for an extended
perod of tme. If the battery must be left unused for a long
