WARNINGRECHARGEABLE BATTERIESThis includes BB-390/U Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) and BB-2590/ULithium-Ion (Li-ion).Do not leave batteries in equipment for long term storage (more than30 days).Charge batteries in long term storage at least annually, and chargethem before inserting in equipment.Before opening original packaging always examine the package forsigns of leakage, staining or other indications of battery damage.DO NOT use a damaged battery.Always charge a rechargeable battery on the appropriate chargeraccording to the dictates of the manufacturer.NEVER disassemble, heat, burn, or incinerate these or any batteries.CO2 or Dry Chemical fire extinguishers are suggested for firesinvolving these batteries.Turn in batteries for disposal. Dispose of them in accordance withlocal regulations.WARNINGNON-RECHARGEABLE ZINC-AIR BATTERIESThis includes BA-8180/U Zinc-Air (Zn-Air).Do not leave batteries in equipment for long term storage (more than30 days).Before opening original packaging always examine the package forsigns of leakage, staining or other indications of battery damage.DO NOT use a damaged battery.Zn-Air batteries contain gelled Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) as anelectrolyte. This is corrosive and will burn the skin. If it comes incontact with the skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If it comesin contact with the eyes, flush with copious amounts of water and seekimmediate medical attention.NEVER disassemble, heat, burn, or incinerate these or any batteries.CO2 or Dry Chemical fire extinguishers are suggested for firesinvolving these batteries.Turn in batteries for disposal. Dispose of them in accordance withlocal regulations.b

WARNINGLITHIUM NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIESLithium Non-Rechargeable Batteries contain a great deal of energy.They must never be charged or abused. Attempting to do so couldresult in leakage, fire or even an explosion.Lithium-Sulfur Dioxide (Li-SO2) batteries, such as BA-5590, contain atoxic, pressurized, and liquefied gas. It has a strong pungent odor.Lithium-Manganese Dioxide (Li-MnO2) batteries such as BA-5372(Hold Up Battery) and BA-5390 contain a flammable electrolyte. Bothtypes of batteries contain pure Lithium which reacts violently withwater.DO NOT heat, incinerate, short circuit, puncture, mutilate or attempt todisassemble any battery.DO NOT USE any battery which shows signs of damage, such asbulging, swelling, disfigurement, leaking or staining inside the plasticpackaging. Keep all batteries in their original packaging until ready foruse.DO NOT test Lithium batteries for capacity with a test set. No externaltest set exists that provides a reliable result.DO NOT store batteries in unused equipment for more than 30 days.If a battery compartment becomes hot to the touch, if it hisses ormakes a burping sound, or if you smell an irritating gas:TURN OFF the equipment immediately and clear the area if yousmell the pungent Sulfur Dioxide.Let the equipment cool for at least an hour.After the equipment is cool and the odor has cleared, remove thebattery or batteries.Install new battery or batteries and resume operation.If the equipment again becomes hot to the touch, go through theabove steps but do not install new batteries.DO NOT place Lithium batteries in ordinary trash; turn them in fordisposal in accordance with local regulations.DO NOT store Lithium batteries with other hazardous materials andkeep them away from open flame or heat.DO NOT use water to fight a Lithium battery fire. This is an extremelyintense fire frequently characterized by a bright red flame. CarbonDioxide or dry chemical fire extinguishers are effective in fighting firesc

of other combustibles and in keeping the batteries cool when exposedto fires in the vicinity. Sprinklers are recommended for storage areasto douse fires of other combustible materials and to keep batteriescool.NEVER use a Halon type fire extinguisher on a Lithium battery fire.This will only increase the intensity of the fire.In the event of a Lithium fire, immediately EVACUATE THE AREA andcontact the appropriate emergency authorities. Class D fireextinguishers are to be used only by professional fire fighters.If you experience a safety hazard or incident, notify your unit SafetyOfficer; file a SF 368 (Product Quality Deficiency Report); and notifythe CE-LCMC Safety Office, Ft. Monmouth, NJ, DSN 987-7445 orcommercial (732) 427-7445.MANPACK LONG ANTENNA SAFETY PRECAUTIONSWARNINGDEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR IF THE ANTENNACOMES INTO CONTACT WITH OVERHEAD POWER LINESNever fully extend the long antenna directly under power lines. Ifyou must fully extend the long antenna near power lines, powerline poles or towers, or buildings with overhead power lineconnections, never come closer than two times the antenna heightfrom the base of the power line, pole tower, or building.Stop before you get close to the power line and check forclearance before passing. If needed, either tie down the antennaor remove the antenna to make sure that you can safely passunder the power line.When mission permits, use the short antenna during operations onthe move. If you must use the long antenna on the move, neverpass under power lines if there is any doubt about overheadclearance.For additional safety information, refer to TB 43-0129, SafetyRequirements for Use of Antenna and Mast Equipment.d

VEHICULAR ANTENNA SAFETY PRECAUTIONSWARNINGDEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR IF THE ANTENNACOMES INTO CONTACT WITH OVERHEAD POWER LINESDo not stop your vehicle under power lines.When mobile, never pass under power lines if there is any doubtabout overhead clearance.If you are not sure that an antenna on your vehicle will clear apower line, stop before you get close to the power line and eithertie down the antenna or, if necessary, remove the antenna tomake sure that you can safely drive under the power line.During cross-country operations, do not allow anyone to stick anarm, leg, or weapon over the sides of the vehicle. If your antennaaccidentally touches a power line, individuals who are in contactwith vegetation or the ground could suffer death or severe injury.For additional safety information, refer to TB 43-0129, SafetyRequirements for Use of Antenna and Mast Equipment.CAUTIONSINCGARS HUB and ANCD batteries look similar and can bephysically interchanged. The HUB battery is 6.5 Volts, whileANCD batteries are 3 Volts each. If three HUB batteries aremistakenly placed in an ANCD, the ANCD will be destroyed.Placing one ANCD battery in the SIP radio HUB position willcause the RT to lose its fill of data.Be sure you know which battery you are installing. Always readthe label before installing either HUB or ANCD batteries!CAUTIONTURN RADIO OFF WHEN NOT IN USE.Turn Loudspeaker LS-671 power switch OFF when radiois not in use to prevent drain on vehicle batteries.e/f blank
