• Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire because they can
explode.
• Do not open or mutilate a battery. Swallowing a battery can
be fatal.
• Be careful not to short the batteries with conducting materi-
als, such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The batteries or
conductor might overheat and burn.
• At the end of a rechargeable battery’s useful life, it must be
recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your local,
county, or state hazardous waste management authorities
for information on recycling or disposal programs in your
area. Some options that might be available are municipal
curbside collection, drop-off boxes at retailers such as your
local Radio Shack store, recycling collection centers, and
mail-back programs.
Charging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries
You need a battery charger (Cat. No. 273-1652) and the sup-
plied adapter plug to charge batteries in the supplied recharge-
able battery case.
Caution: Never use any charger other than Cat. No. 273-1652
to recharge the batteries in the rechargeable battery case. Even
battery chargers with the same voltage and current ratings could
permanently damage your walkie-talkie or the batteries.
