NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven,high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker.This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the batteryto rupture.• CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified tem-perature range for the transceiver (–25˚C to +55˚C) and thebattery itself (–20˚C to +60˚C). Using the battery out of itsspecified temperature range will reduce the battery’s perfor-mance and battery life. Please note that the specified temper-ature range of the battery may exceed that of the transceiver.In such cases, the transceiver may not work properly be-cause it is out of its operating temperature range.• CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery isleft fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessivetemperature environment (above +50˚C) for an extendedperiod of time. If the battery must be left unused for a longtime, it must be detached from the radio after discharging.You may use the battery until the remaining capacity isabout half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with thetemperature range as below:–20˚C to +50˚C (within a month)–20˚C to +35˚C (within three months)Charging cautionD• R DANGER!
