charger. This may result in corrosion of the charger terminals
or damage to the charger. The charger is not waterproof and
water can easily get into it.
NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas
may cause an explosion.
NEVER immerse battery pack in water. If the battery pack
becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry immediately (particularly
the battery terminals BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver.
NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, cur-
rent may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace,
etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near
metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc.
If your battery pack seem to have no capacity even after
being charged, completely discharge them by leaving the
power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack
again. If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little),
new battery pack must be purchased.
Turn the transceiver power OFF when charging the battery
pack. Otherwise, the battery pack may not fully charge or
charge properly.
