5.4 BATTERY SAFETY

Battery packs for your transceiver contain cadmium (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 the transceiver can cause sparks, severe

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 of objects such as paper clips, keys,

tools, etc. When the battery pack is installed on the transceiver, the

terminals that transfer current to the transceiver are not exposed. The

terminals that are exposed on the battery pack when it is mounted on the

transceiver are charging terminals only and do not constitute a hazard.

DO NOT OVERCHARGE

Do not charge the transceiver for more than 16 hour with the battery

charge system. Heat generated by overcharging can shorten battery life

and cause other battery pack component failures.

DO NOT INCINERATE

Do not dispose of any Ni-Cd battery in a fire or incinerator. The heat of fire

may cause battery cells to explode and/or release dangerous gases.

DISPOSE OF BATTERY PACKS PROPERLY

Ni-Cd batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. For requirements

in your area, check with the dealer from whom you purchased your

transceiver. The symbol shown below is a reminder that the battery packs

are recyclable.
