R
DANGER! NEVER charge or use a third-party or
counterfeit battery pack or power adapter. Otherwise, a fi re
and/or explosion may occur. Charge only the BP-271 and
BP-272 battery packs. Only tested and approved for use with
the BP-271 and BP-272.
R DANGER! KEEP battery packs away from fi re. Fire or
heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of an
used battery pack in accordance with local regulations.
R WARNING! NEVER charge the battery packs during a
lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause
a fi re or damage the battery pack or transceiver. Always
disconnect the power adapter before a storm.
R WARNING! NEVER modify the speakerphone and/ or
power adapter. This may cause a fi re hazard or electric
shock.
R WARNING! NEVER use deteriorated battery packs. They
could cause a fi re.
CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery packs in areas with
extremely high temperatures, such as near fi res or stoves,
inside a sun heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such
environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will
activate, causing the battery to stop charging.
CAUTION: DO NOT insert the battery packs (with/without
the transceiver) into the speakerphone if it is wet or soiled.
This could corrode the speakerphone terminals or damage
the speakerphone. The speakerphone is not waterproof.
CAUTION: DO NOT let metal, wire, and so on, touch any
internal parts of the speakerphone.
CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery in conditions of
extreme cold (under 10°C, 50°F), or extreme heat (over
40°C, 104˚F).
The battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of
the specifi ed temperature range. Additionally, battery
performance or battery life may be reduced.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the speakerphone with the power
adapter when it is covered by objects that impede heat
dispersal.
CAUTION: Occasionally observe the battery pack
condition while charging. If any abnormal condition occurs,
discontinue using the battery pack.
USE INDOORS ONLY! NEVER expose the speakerphone
and the power adapter to rain, snow or any liquids.
Always place the speakerphone in a secure place to avoid
inadvertent use by unauthorized person.
USE only specifi ed accessories. Using third party or
counterfeit may result in a fi re hazard or electric shock.
KEEP the speakerphone away from TV sets or radios to
prevent interference.
MAKE SURE battery and speakerphone contacts are
always clean. Otherwise, battery packs may not be charged
properly.
Be careful of the battery pack’s temperature—when the
battery pack is extremely cold, the speakerphone cannot
charge the pack.
When the speakerphone is not in use, disconnect the power
adapter from an AC outlet. The power adapter consumes
power when connected to the AC outlet.
When the operating period becomes extremely short after
full charging, the battery pack has reached the end of its life
and a new battery pack must be purchased.
NOTE: If your battery packs seem to have no capacity
even after being fully charged, completely discharge them,
then fully charge them again. If they still do not retain
a charge (or very little), a new battery packs must be
purchased.
