CAUTIONS
• Use ALKALINE batteries only.
• Make sure all battery cells are the same brand, type and ca-
pacity.
• Never mix old and new batteries.
Either of the above may cause a fire hazard or damage the
transceiver, if ignored.
• Never incinerate used battery cells since internal battery gas
may cause them to rupture.
• Never expose a detached battery case to water.
If the battery case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using
it.
