may cause an explosion.

NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery
pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver.
NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may ow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace, etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc. Recommendation: Charge the supplied battery pack for a maximum of up to 10 hours. Li-Ion batteries are different from NiCd batteries in that it is not necessary to completely charge and discharge them to prolong the battery life. Therefore, charging the battery in intervals, and not for extended periods is recommended. AVOID leaving the battery pack in a fully charged, or completely
discharged condition for long time. It causes shorter battery life. In case of leaving the battery pack unused for a long time, it must be kept safely after discharge, or use the battery until the battery indicator appears, then remove it from the transceiver. If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being charged, fully charge the battery pack again. If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little), new battery pack must be purchased. 33
