DO NOT INCINERATE: Do not dispose of any battery in a fire or incinerator.
The heat of fire may cause battery cells to explode and/or release dangerous
gases.
Battery Maintenance
For safe and proper battery use, please observe the following:
Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments;
Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries;
Use only a STANDARD HORIZON, (a Marine Division of VERTEX STAN-
DARD) approved charger. The use of any other charger may cause
permanent damage to the battery.
Follow charging instructions provided with the chargers.
Keep the battery contacts clean.
Battery Storage
Store batteries in a cool place to maximize storage life. Since batteries are
subject to self-discharge, avoid high storage temperatures that cause large
self-discharge rates. After extended storage, a full recharge is recommended.
When a battery pack is not used for a long time, please remove it from the
transceiver. Also, while in storage, the charge will drain slightly over time and
the battery should be recharged 50% every six months.
Battery Recycling
DO NOT PLACE USED BATTERIES IN YOUR REGULAR TRASH!
LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES MUST BE COLLECTED, RECYCLED OR DIS-
POSED OF IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANNER.
The incineration, land filling or mixing of Lithium-Ion batteries with the munici-
pal solid waste stream is PROHIBITED BY LAW in most areas.
Return batteries to an approved Lithium-Ion battery recycler. This may be
where you purchased the battery.
Contact your local waste management officials for other information regard-
ing the environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of Lithium-
Ion batteries.
