Precaution
NEVER
incinerate used batteries 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, cur-
rent may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace,
etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near
metal objects, carrying in bags and so on.
When installing batteries, make sure they are all the same
brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old bat-
teries together.
Install conventional alkaline batteries only. Other type of bat-
teries, such as Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Li-ion, are cannot be used.
Remove the alkaline batteries when leaving the battery case
unused for long time.
Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to occasionally
clean the battery terminals.
Alkaline batteries have a shorter operating time compared
to Li-ion batteries. Also, the operating time differs by brand,
as well as the model type of the alkaline battery being used.
Therefore, it is recommended that you use the Li-ion battery
pack, or take spare alkaline batteries with you when intending
to use the transceiver frequently, or for long periods.
