Antennas
Do not use a radio with a dam-
aged antenna. If a damaged an-
tenna comes into contact with the
skin, a minor burn might result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property
damage, injury, or burns if a con-
ductive material such as jewelry,
keys, or a beaded chain touches
exposed terminals. The material
may complete an electrical circuit
(short circuit) and become quite
hot. Exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when
placing it inside a pocket, purse,
or other container with metal ob-
jects.
CAUTION
Chargers and Power Cord
To reduce risk of damage to the
supplied battery charger when
disconnecting it from AC power,
pull by the plug rather than the
power cord.
Make sure the power cord is lo-
cated so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise sub-
jected to damage or stress.
Do not operate the charger with a
damaged cord or plug; replace
them immediately. Do not operate
the charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or oth-
erwise damaged in any way; con-
tact your local RadioShack store.
!
Do not expose chargers to rain or
snow.
An extension cord should not be
used unless absolutely neces-
sary. Use of an improper exten-
sion cord may result in a fire or
electric shock. However, if an ex-
tension cord is used, make sure
that:
• The pins and plug of the
extension cord are the same
number, size, and shape as
those on the plug of the
charger.
• The extension cord is prop-
erly wired and in good condi-
tion.
• The cord size is 18 AWG for
lengths of up to 100 feet,
and 15 AWG for lengths up
to 150 feet.
