This will damage not only the batterypack, but also the transceiver.• NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas maycause an explosion.• NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack be-comes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to thetransceiver.• Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or miss contact.• Keep battery contacts clean.
