NEVER

modify the battery pack. This may cause heat

generation, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or

catch fire.

R

DANGER! NEVER

place 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 for long periods of time may cause the battery to

rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also

degrade battery performance or shorten battery life.

R

DANGER! NEVER

strike or otherwise impact the

battery. 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

place or leave battery packs near

fire. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode.

Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with local

regulations.

R

DANGER!

is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an

excessive temperature environment (above +50°C

(+122°F)) for an extended period of time. If the battery

pack must be left unused for a long time, it must be

detached from the transceiver after discharging. You may

use the battery pack until the remaining capacity is about

half, then keep it safely in a cool and dry place at the

following temperature range:

–20°C ~ +50°C (–4°F ~ +122°F) (within a month)

–20°C ~ +40°C (–4°F ~ +104°F) (within three months)

–20°C ~ +20°C (–4°F ~ +68°F)

(within a year)

BE SURE

to replace the battery pack with a new one

approximately five years after manufacturing, even if it still

holds a charge. The inside battery material will become

weak after a period of time, even with little use. The

estimated number of times you can charge the battery is

between 300 and 500. Even when the battery appears to

be fully charged, the operating time of the transceiver may

become short when:

Approximately five years have passed since the battery

was manufactured.

The battery has been repeatedly charged.

D
