Precautions (Continued)
Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following hazards: smoke, fre, or the battery may
rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery's performance.

Battery Caution
DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion.
DANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise impact the battery pack. Do not use the battery pack if it has
been severely impacted or dropped, or if the pack has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery pack
damage may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface of the battery does not show
cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may rupture or catch fre.
DANGER! NEVER
leave the battery pack in places with temperatures above 60°C (140°F). A High-
temperature buildup in the battery cells, such as could occur near fres or stoves, inside a sun-heated
vehicle, or in direct sunlight for long periods of time, may cause the battery cells to rupture or catch fre.
Excessive temperatures may also degrade the pack s performance or shorten the battery cell s life.
DANGER! NEVER
place battery packs near a fre. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or
explode. Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with local regulations.
DANGER! NEVER
solder the battery terminals, or NEVER modify the battery pack. This may
cause heat generation, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fre.
DANGER! NEVER
let fuid from inside the battery get in your eyes.This can cause blindness. Rinse
your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and immediately go to a doctor.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver meets IP54* requirements for dust tight and waterproof protection.
However, once the transceiver has been dropped, waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because
of possible damage to the transceiver s case or waterproof seal.
* Only when the battery pack, fexible antenna,and jack cover are attached.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still fows in the circuits. Remove the battery
pack from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed battery pack will
become exhausted and will need to be recharged or replaced.
