PREPARATION
BATTERY PACK PRECAUTIONS
◆Do not recharge the battery pack if it is already fully charged.
Doing so may cause the life of the battery pack to shorten or the
battery pack may be damaged.
◆After recharging the battery pack, disconnect it from the charger.
If the charger power is reset (turned ON after being turned OFF),
recharging will start again and the battery pack will become
overcharged.
◆Do not use the transceiver while charging the battery pack. We
recommend you switch the transceiver power OFF while charging
is taking place.
◆Do not short the battery terminals or dispose of the battery by
fire.
◆Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack.
Information concerning the (optional) Li-ion battery pack:
The battery pack includes flammable objects such as organic solvent.
Mishandling may cause the battery to rupture producing flames or
extreme heat, deteriorate, or cause other forms of damage to the
battery. Please observe the following prohibitive matters.
•Do not disassemble or reconstruct battery!
The battery pack has a safety function and protection circuit to
avoid danger. If they suffer serious damage, the battery may
generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
•Do not short-circuit the battery!
Do not join the + and – terminals using any form of metal (such as
a paper clip or wire). Do not carry or store the battery pack in
containers holding metal objects (such as wires, chain-necklace or
hairpins). If the battery pack is short-circuited, excessive current
will flow and the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or
burst into flame. It will also cause metal objects to heat up.

•Do not incinerate or apply heat to the battery!
If the insulator is melted, the gas release vent or safety function is
damaged, or the electrolyte is ignited, the battery may generate
heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
•Do not use or leave the battery near fires, stoves, or other
heat generators (areas reaching over 80°C/ 176°F)!
If the polymer separator is melted due to high temperature, an
internal short-circuit may occur in the individual cells and the
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
•Do not immerse the battery in water or get it wet by other
means!
If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may
charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke,
rupture, or burst into flame.
•Do not charge the battery near fires or under direct sunlight!
If the battery’s protection circuit is damaged, the battery may
charge at extreme current (or voltage) and an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur. The battery may generate heat or smoke,
rupture, or burst into flame.
•Use only the specified charger and observe charging
requirements!
If the battery is charged in unspecified conditions (under high
temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or
current over regulated value, or with a remodelled charger), it
may overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur.
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
•Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an
instrument, or step on it!
This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuited.
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
•Do not jar or throw the battery!
An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or smoke,

•Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
•Do not solder directly onto the battery!
If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function
is damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or
burst into flame.
•Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!
When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical
reaction may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large amount
of current may flow upon discharging. The battery may generate
heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into flame.
•Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!
The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery
pack does not smoothly connect with a charger or operating
equipment, do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If the
battery pack is reverse-connected to the charger, it will be
reverse-charged and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur.
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into
flame.
•Do not touch a ruptured and leaking battery!
If the electrolyte liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, wash
your eyes out with fresh water as soon as possible, without
rubbing your eyes. Go to the hospital immediately. If left
untreated, it may cause eye-problems.
TK-2160/3160 E 01-28 03.7.17, 9:25 AM4

■Characteristics of the Li-ion Battery Pack
•As the battery pack is charged and discharged
repeatedly, the battery capacity decreases.
•Even if the battery pack is unused, the battery
pack degrades.
•It takes a longer time to charge the battery pack
in cooler areas.
•The life of battery pack is shortened when it is
charged and discharged in hotter areas. When
the battery pack is stored in a hot location, the
battery pack degrades quicker. Do not leave the
battery pack in vehicles or near heating
appliances.
•When the battery pack operating time becomes
short, even if it is fully charged, replace the
battery pack. Continuing to charge and discharge
the battery pack may result in electrolyte leakage.
■Charging the Li-ion Battery Pack
When charging a transceiver with a KNB-24L battery
pack, the safety catch of the battery pack may stick
out past the battery. When inserting the transceiver
with the battery pack into the charger, the safety
catch will touch the metal contacts of the charger
and the charger LED will momentarily light red. Be
sure to push the transceiver fully into the battery
pack slot so the safety catch no longer touches the
charger terminals. Once in place, the battery pack
will begin charging.
For charging procedures, refer to the KSC-25
Instruction Manual.
