BATTERY CHARGING

■ Battery cautions

NEVER incinerate used Ni-Cd batteries. Internal battery gas

may cause an explosion.

NEVER immerse batteries in water. If the battery case be-

comes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the

transceiver.

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

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

tery cases in handbags, etc.

If your Ni-Cd batteries seem to have no capacity even after

being charged, completely discharge them by leaving the

power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the Ni-Cd batteries

again. If the Ni-Cd batteries still do not retain a charge (or

very little), new Ni-Cd batteries must be purchased.
