BATTERY PACKS
■
Battery cautions
R DANGER! 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
placing battery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc.
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a neck-
lace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not only the bat-
tery pack, but also the transceiver.
R DANGER! NEVER
incinerate used battery packs. Internal
battery gas may cause an explosion.
R WARNING!
NEVER
immerse the battery pack in water. If the
battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attach-
ing it to the transceiver.
Clean
the battery terminals to avoid rust or miss contact.
Keep
battery terminals 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 over-
night. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the battery pack
still does not retain a charge (or only very little charge), a new bat-
tery pack must be purchased. (p. 5)
