Battery caution
•R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the bat-
tery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted
or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy
pressure. Battery 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 fire.
•R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas
with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature
buildup in the battery, such as could occur near fires or
stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may
cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temper-
atures may also degrade battery performance or shorten
battery life.
•R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow,
seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet
battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before
using. The battery is not waterproof.
•R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since
internal battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may
cause an explosion.
•R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals or
NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat gen-
eration, and the battery may rupture, emit smoke or catch
fire.
•R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for
which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other
equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this
instruction manual.
•R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your
eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water,
without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.
Misuse of LITHIUM-ION batteries may result in the fol-
lowing hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture.
Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degra-
dation of battery performance.
