Important Information about
NiMH Batteries:

Do not leave a charged battery connected to the
charger for extended periods, it can shorten the
battery life.

Do not use a battery pack if it gets wet as water
can short across battery contacts. For the same
reason, keep the battery pack away from loose
metal objects such as keys, paper clips, etc.

Check contacts for dirt or corrosion if the battery
pack does not charge properly.

If the battery pack has been stored at tempera-
tures above or below the specified operating
range for the NavTalk, allow the unit to cool
down or warm up accordingly before use to
achieve maximum battery power.

Be certain to turn the NavTalk off before remov-
ing the battery pack.

In many states and cities Municipal Law

requires for environmentally sound collec-
tion and recycling or disposal of Nickel
Metal Hydride Batteries. Contact your local
waste management official for instructions
on disposal or recycling.
