■ Battery cautions

NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas

may cause an explosion.

NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack

becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to

the transceiver.

NEVER short terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may

ﬂow into nearby metal objects so be careful when placing bat-

tery packs in handbags, etc.

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 very little), a

new battery pack must be purchased.
