BATTERY CHARGING
■ Caution (for the BP-264 ni-m h b at t e r y )
R DANGER! NEVER short terminals (or charging terminals) of the
battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such
as a necklace, so be careful when placing battery packs (or the
transceiver) in handbags, etc.
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a neck-
lace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not only the bat-
tery pack, but also the transceiver.
R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal bat-
tery gas may cause an explosion.
R DANGER! NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the bat-
tery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching
it to the transceiver.
CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified temperature
range for the transceiver (–25˚C to +55˚C) and the battery itself
(–5˚C to +65˚C). Using the battery out of its specified temperature
range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life.
CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left com-
pletely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment
(above +55˚C) for an extended period of time. If the battery must
be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio
after charging. Keep it safely in a cool dry place at the following
temperaturerange:
–20˚C to +45˚C (up to a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (up to six months)
–20˚C to +25˚C (up to a year*)
* We recommend charging the battery pack every 6 months.
Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or misscontact.
Keep the battery terminals clean. It’s a good idea to regularly clean
them.
