Battery cautions
•
CAUTION! NEVER
short the terminals of the battery pack (or
charging terminals of the transceiver). Also, current may flow into
nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful when plac-
ing battery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc.
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a neck-
lace, etc. causes shorting. This will damage not only the battery
pack, but also the transceiver.
•
NEVER
incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may
cause an explosion.
•
NEVER
immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack be-
comes wet, be sure to wipe it dry
BEFORE
attaching it to the
transceiver.
•
Clean
the battery terminals to avoid rust or miss contact.
•
Keep
battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean battery ter-
minals once a week.
If your battery pack seems 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 battery
pack still does not retain a charge (or only very little charge), a new
battery pack must be purchased. (P. 9)
