3.5 BATTERY SAFETY

Battery packs for your transceiver contain Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries. This type of battery stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or abused, especially when removed from the transceiver. Please observe the following precautions:

DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS

Shorting the terminals that power to the transceiver can cause sparks, se- vere overheating, burns, and battery cell damage. If the short is of sufficient duration, it is possible to melt battery components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metal surfaces or objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc. When the battery pack is installed on the transceiver, the termi- nals that transfer current to the transceiver are not exposed.

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.

Caution

Never short-circuit the connection terminals on the bat- tery or charger !
