Always use the battery within the specified tem-perature range for the transceiver (–10˚C to +60˚C; +14˚Fto +140˚F) and the battery itself (–10˚C to +60˚C; +14˚F to+140˚F). Using the battery out of its specified temperaturerange will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life.• CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery isleft fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessivetemperature environment (above +45˚C; +113˚F) for an ex-tended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for along time, it must be detached from the radio after discharg-ing. You may use the battery until the battery becomesabout half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry placewith the temperature between –20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to+95˚F).DD Charging caution• R DANGER!
