CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specied
temperature range, for the transceiver –25°C to +55°C
(–13°F to +131°F): ETS version, –30°C to +60°C (–22°F to
+140°F): TIA version, and the battery itself –20°C to +60°C
(–4°F to +140°F). Using the battery out of its specied
temperature range will reduce the battery’s performance
and battery life. Please note that the specied temperature
range of the battery may exceed that of the transceiver.
In such cases, the transceiver may not work properly
because it is out of its operating temperature range.
CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery
is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an
excessive temperature environment (above +50°C;
+122°F) for an extended period of time. If the battery must
be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from
the transceiver after discharging. You may use the battery
until the remaining capacity is about half, then keep it
safely in a cool dry place at the following temperature
