Precaution
NEVER incinerate used battery cells since internal battery
gas may cause them to rupture.
NEVER expose a detached battery case to water. If the bat-
tery case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using it.
NEVER short the terminals of the battery case. Also, current
may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace, etc.
Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near
metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc.
When installing battery cells, make sure they are all the
same brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and
old battery cells together.
Install conventional alkaline cells only. Other type of batter-
ies, such as Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Li-Ion, are cannot be used.
Uninstall the alkaline cells when leaving the battery case un-
used for long time.
Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean battery
terminals once a week.
Alkaline cells have a shorter operating time in compari-
son with Li-Ion battery cells. Also, operating time differs by
brand, as well as the model type of the alkaline cell being
used. Therefore, it is recommended that you use the Li-Ion
battery pack, or take spare alkaline cells with you when in-
tending to use the transceiver frequently, or for long periods.
