damage.
3.Use only approved batteries and chargers.
4.Use the provided antenna for communication.
5.Avoid exposing the radio to excess heat (such as direct sunlight) for extended periods or storing your transceiver in a hot
location. High temperatures do shorten the life of electronic devices.

objects (such as plastic) that could melt.
10.If any abnormal smell or smoke comes from the transceiver, immediately shut off the power and remove the battery
from the radio body. Then contact your local dealer.
NOTE：
The above tips apply to your transceiver's accessories as well. If your accessories don't operate
normally, please contact your local dealer for assistance.

BATTERY INFORMATION
WARNING:When keys, ornamental chains, or other metals contact or short the battery terminals, the
battery could cause a shock or injury. If the battery terminals are allowed to short circuit, they will generate
a lot of heat. Be careful when you bring or use a spare battery. Put the battery or radio into an insulated
container. Do not put them into metal containers.
AC Input
Do not recharge the battery if it is already fully charged. This could shorten the life of the battery or damage▲
the battery.
Do not charge the battery or transceiver if it is damp or wet. Dry it before charging to avoid any danger.▲

NOTE: When charging a powered on transceiver equipped with battery, the LED will not turn to green to
show the full charge status. Only when you turn off the transceiver, will the LED indicate normally. If the
transceiver is powered on, it will continually consume energy. The charger cannot detect when the battery has
been fully charged and will fail to indicate correctly.
