O BATTERY CHARGING A Caution NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause ari explosion. NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry immediately {particularly the battery terminals) BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver. Otherwise, the terminals will become corroded, of cause connection failure, eto. NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects; such asa necklace; slc.
