• BaUery 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.
