Operational Cautions
Accessory Safety Information
IMPORTANT:
SAVE THESE ACCESSORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Before using any battery or battery charger, read all the instructions for and
cautionary markings on (1) the battery, (2) the battery charger, which may
include a separate wall-mounted power supply or transformer, and (3) the
radio product using the battery.
• Do not expose any battery charger to water, rain, or snow as they are
designed for indoor or in-vehicle use only.
• To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug, pull by the plug rather
than the cord when you disconnect the battery charger from the power
source outlet.
• Do not operate any battery charger with a damaged cord or plug — replace
them immediately.
• Battery chargers may become warm during operation, but not hot. If it
becomes hot to the touch, unplug it from the power outlet immediately and
discontinue its use.
• Use of a non-recommended attachment to a battery charger may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
• Make sure the battery charger power cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to damage or stress.
• An extension cord should not be used with any battery charger unless
absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure
that:
• The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size,
and shape as those on the plug of the charger.
• The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• The cord size is 18AWG for lengths up to 100 feet and 16AWG for
lengths up to 150 feet.
To reduce the risk of injury, charge only the
rechargeable batteries listed in the Accessories
section of this manual. Other types of batteries
may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
