Special conditions when using IS radios
Warning Fit only an IS-approved battery to an IS radio. Fitting a
battery or accessory that is not IS-approved exposes the customer
to a risk of explosion which could cause serious injury or death.
For detailed information about identifying IS radios, refer to the
Safety and Compliance Information (MTA-00011-xx) provided with
the radio.
Before using the charger
Handle the battery safely
Caution Handle the battery safely. Failure to observe the following
handling recommendations could result in personal injury and/or
equipment damage. The battery label identifies the battery
chemistry as lithium-ion (Li-ion) or nickel metal hydride (NiMH).
■
Before using a Li-ion battery, please read the Li-ion Battery
Safety Information (MPC-00006-xx) included with your battery,
and follow the instructions it provides. Incorrect use of a Li-ion
battery can cause explosion or fire.
■
Do not short-circuit the battery contacts, neither intentionally
nor accidentally, e.g. by placing the battery with conductive
materials such as keys or jewelry inside a pocket or container.
Short-circuiting the battery contacts can heat up the
conductive material.
Attaching of labels
Warning Do not obstruct the vent hole on the battery. If the vent on
the battery is obstructed the battery may explode, causing personal
injury and/or equipment damage.
Charging temperatures
Notice Do not expose a battery to very high or very low
temperatures for extended periods of time. Doing so will shorten the
usable life ('service life') of the battery.
