Conventional and rechargeable batteries
Insert the batteries/rechargeable batteries with the correct polarity. Refer to the diagram inside the
battery compartment.
Do not attempt to recharge the batteries and do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
Use only batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same type.
Remove the batteries/rechargeable batteries when the device is not going to be used for a long time.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be disposed of at specific collection points. For more information
about battery/rechargeable battery disposal, please see the "Environmental regulations and disposal
information" chapter.
Caution – danger of explosion
Never replace any batteries/rechargeable batteries in an explosion-sensitive environment. While
inserting or removing the batteries (or rechargeable batteries), a spark may be produced causing an
explosion.
Power your PMR off when in a potentially explosive environment. Sparks in such an environment may
cause explosion or fire. In addition, injury or even death may occur.
Explosion-sensitive areas are normally (but not always) labelled. These include fuel storage areas such
as below deck on a boat, fuel line or tank areas, environments where the air contains inflammable
substances (e.g. cereals, metal dust or powder) and any areas where you should normally switch off
your car engine.
Do not throw any batteries or rechargeable batteries into a fire, as they may explode.
Don't try to charge conventional (non-rechargeable) batteries. Only use batteries/rechargeable
batteries of the same type. Always use two batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same type and
capacity. You will find this information in the "Technical specifications" chapter.
