charger is compatible with the battery. See also
"About the chargers" on page 161 .
Warning Handle the battery safely. Failure to
observe the following handling recommendations
could result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
■
Before using a Li-ion battery, read the Li-ion Bat-
tery Safety Information (MPD-00024-xx for IS-bat-
teries and MPC-00006-xx for non-IS batteries)
included with your battery, and follow the instruc-
tions it provides. Incorrect use of a Li-ion battery
can cause explosion or fire.
■
Do not short-circuit the battery contacts, neither
intentionally nor accidentally, e.g. by placing the
battery with conductive materials such as keys or
jewelry inside a pocket or container. Short-circuit-
ing the battery contacts can heat up the conduc-
tive material.
■
Do not obstruct the vent hole(s) on the battery.
If the vent on the battery is obstructed the battery
may explode, causing personal injury and/or
equipment damage. If the vent on the radio is
obstructed, audio quality and/or key function may
deteriorate and radio seals may be damaged.
Notice Turn the radio off before removing the battery,
and turn it on again after attaching the battery. This
ensures that the radio powers down and up correctly.
Failing to follow this procedure may require the radio
to be turned off then on again to operate correctly.
