5
6
The optional BP-234 battery pack is a non-rechargeable,
Lithium battery pack for operation in a survival craft. The fol-
lowing precaution must be observed.
NEVER dispose of the BP-234 battery pack in a re. This could re-
sult in an explosion.
DO NOT short-circuit the BP-234 battery pack. Metal contact (such
as paper clip, another battery, etc.) across the battery contacts can
result in a sustained high rate discharge, which could damage the
battery, void the warranty and create a burn or a re hazard.
NEVER expose of the BP-234 battery pack to excessive heat of
60°C (+140°F) or above. This could result in electrolyte leakage,
possibly causing an explosion or re.
NEVER attempt to recharge the BP-234. Lithium batteries may ex-
plode or cause a re in such cases.
DO NOT disassemble the BP-234 battery pack. The BP-234 bat-
tery pack contains no user serviceable parts. Internal battery gas
can cause throat irritation. Also, exposed lithium may generate heat
and ignite.
DO NOT apply excessive pressure to the battery. This may result
in electrolyte leakage, possibly causing an explosion.
The storage life of the BP-234 is about 5 years. Once the expira-
tion date on the battery pack passes, a new battery pack must be
purchased.
For safety reasons, once the BP-234 is used, a spare one should be
purchased. The original battery pack can be continued to be used
for regular communications; save the spare one for emergency sit-
uations.
