1 Unpacking and Checking
Unpack the transceiver set carefully. We recommend that you identify
the listed items before discarding the packing material. If any items are
missing or have been damaged during shipment, please contact the
dealer immediately.

2 Preparation
2.1 Battery Precautions
CAUTION
1) Do not attempt to charge a fully charged battery pack. Doing so,
may shorten the lifetime of the battery pack or the battery pack may
get damaged.
2) Upon completion of charging process, disconnect the battery pack
from the charger. If the charger power is reset (turned ON after
being turned OFF), recharging will start again and the battery pack
will be overcharged.
3) Do not use the transceiver while charging the battery pack. We re-
commend you switch the transceiver power OFF during charging.
4) Do not expose the battery pack to heat or fire.
5) Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.
DANGER!
1) Do not disassemble or reconstruct the battery pack!
The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to avoid
danger. If they suffer serious damage, the battery may generate
heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
2) Do not short-circuit the battery!
Do not join the + and - terminals using any form of metal (such as a
paperclip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack in contain-
ers holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-necklace or hair-
pins). If the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current will
flow and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst
into flame. It will also cause metal object to heat up.
3) Do not apply heat to the battery!
If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function is
damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may generate
heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
4) Do not place the battery near fires, stoves, or other heat sources!
If the polymer separator melts due to high temperature, an internal
short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and the battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
5) Do not immerse the battery in water or get it wet by other means!
If the battery's protection circuit is damaged, the battery may
charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rup-
ture, or burst into flame.
6) Do not charge the battery near fires or under direct sunlight!
If the battery's protection circuit is damaged, the battery may
charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke, rup-
ture, or burst into flame.
7) Use only the specified charger and observe charging require-
ments!
If the battery is charged in unspecified conditions (under high tem-
perature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or cur-
rent over regulated value, or with a remodeled charger), it may
overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The bat-
tery may generate heat or smoke, or burst into flame.
8) Do not pierce or strike the battery with any object or step on it!
This may break or deform the battery, causing a short circuit. The
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
9) Do not jar or throw the battery!
An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or smoke,
rupture, and/or burst into flame. If the battery's protection circuit is
damaged, the battery may charge at an abnormal current (or volt-
age), and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery
may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
10) Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
11) Do not solder directly onto the battery!
If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function
is damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or
burst into flame.
12) Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!
When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction
may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large amount of current
may flow upon discharging. The battery may generate heat or
smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
13) Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!
The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery
pack does not smoothly connect with a charger or operating equip-
ment, do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If the battery
