equipment in fuel depots, storage, and
distribution areas, and chemical plants. In
addition, adhere to restrictions in areas where
blasting operations are in progress. Before
using the device, watch out for areas that have
potentially explosive atmospheres that are
often, but not always, clearly marked. Such
locations include areas below the deck on
boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities,
and areas where the air contains chemicals or

hundreds of times before it eventually
wears out. When the standby time and the
talk time are shorter than the normal time,
replace the battery.
• Use the AC power supply defined in the
specifications of the charger. An improper
power voltage may cause a fire or a
malfunction of the charger.
• Do not connect two poles of the battery with
conductors, such as metal materials, keys,
