burns, fire or explosions causing serious damages to the radio/battery or serious injuries to 
people. 
, Battery chargers are for indoor use only.  
, Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed for the supplied battery charger 
(AC Adapter). If you are not sure, check with your dealer or with your local power company. 
, To avoid damaging the power cable of the battery charger, do not put anything on it or place it 
where it will be walked on. Insert the plug in socket provided with earth connection. 
, Avoid strong shocks. Do not use the charger if it received a strong shock, has fallen down or it 
appears damaged; immediately contact an authorized service station.  
, Never try to disassemble or service the charger by yourself. Always contact your local dealer 
for assistance. 
, To reduce the risk of electric shocks disconnect the plug before providing any cleaning or 
maintenance. Grasp the plug (not the cable) to remove the plug from the socket. The use of 
non-suitable extension can cause fire or electric shocks.

during their use and do not charge them outside the range of +5 to +55°C. 
Radio maintenance 
Cleaning battery packs 
Wipe the battery contacts with a clean and lint free cloth to remove dirt, grease or any other material that 
may prevent a good electrical contact. If contacts are very dirty you can also wipe them using a soft pencil 
rubber (not hard erasers for ink!). If you feel that battery contacts aren’t still working properly, please 
contact your authorized dealer.

carrying case. Please see “Optional accessories”.
