APPENDIX A
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
HANDLE BATTERY PACKS WITH CARE
DO NOT dispose of NiMH battery packs in a fire or with regular trash. NiMH batteries
may explode if exposed to open flame, create hazardous waste, and contaminate
ground water sources if disposed of in landfills.
CAUTION - All Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery packs, regardless of their
indicated charge state, are capable of producing electrical currents sufficient to cause
personal injury and/or property damage.
IDEAL INDUSTRIES has tried to provide the maximum protection possible by installing
an automatic reset fuse in every battery pack to help stop high current discharges as
quickly as possible. However, this fuse may not completely protect against a
momentary arc, which can result if the battery pack’s electrical contacts are shorted.
The following battery pack handling precautions must be closely followed to avoid risk
of injury.
‣ When a battery pack is not installed in the handset or the charger, it should be
kept in a clean, dry, non-conductive package.
‣ Keep conductive materials away from the battery contacts at all times.
‣ Keep the contact sides of the battery packs away from each other at all times.
‣ Batteries are normally charged while in the handsets or when using the optional
Dual Bay Battery Charger. Charging with other chargers or in any other manner
may cause the battery packs to explode.
‣ Always install, remove, store, and charge the battery packs in a non-explosive
atmosphere.
‣ Use and store battery packs in locations that do not exceed 122 degrees
Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius).
‣ Do not allow children or persons unfamiliar with the precautionary instructions in
this manual to handle or recharge the battery packs.
‣ Leave the sealed battery pack case intact. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside the case and the batteries in the case are not replaceable.
Note: Charge battery packs prior to use.
