Note: The battery indicator on the transceiver is only applicable to the FNB-83/
rechargeable battery. Disregard this indication when using alkaline batteries.
5.5 BATTERY SAFETY
Battery packs for your transceiver contains Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH, FNB-83) battery.
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 to 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 or 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 INCINERATE
Do not dispose of any Ni-MH 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-MH battery 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.
