wl 1 GETTING STARTED l Battery cautions NEVER incinerate used battery packs. internal battery gas may cause an explosion, NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe-z it dry BEFORE attaching it 1o the transceiver. NEVER short terminals of the battery pack, Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects so be careful when placing battery packs in handbags, etc.
H Battery charging Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation. GETTING STARTED 1 CAUTION: To avoid damage 1o the transceiver, turn OFF while charging. « The BP-130A BATTERY CASE cannot be charged even when Ni-Cd batteries are installed. « Recommended temperature range for charging: 10°C to +407%0C.
