Before using the charger

Check the battery label and charger label to see if the 

charger is compatible with the battery. See also 

"About the chargers" on page 157

.

Warning 

Handle the battery safely. Failure to 

observe the following handling recommendations 

could result in personal injury and/or equipment 

damage.

■

Before using a Li-ion battery, read the Li-ion Bat-

tery Safety Information (MPD-00024-xx for IS-bat-

teries and MPC-00006-xx for non-IS batteries) 

included with your battery, and follow the instruc-

tions 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-circuit-

ing the battery contacts can heat up the conduc-

tive material.

■

Do not obstruct the vent hole(s) on the battery. 

If the vent on the battery is obstructed the battery 

may explode, causing personal injury and/or 

equipment damage. If the vent on the radio is 

obstructed, audio quality and/or key function may 

deteriorate and radio seals may be damaged.

Notice 

Turn the radio off before removing the battery, 

and turn it on again after attaching the battery. This 

ensures that the radio powers down and up correctly. 

Failing to follow this procedure may require the radio 

to be turned off then on again to operate correctly.
