Caution
Misuse of Lithium-ion batteries may result in the following
hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse
can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of
battery performance. Prior to using the battery pack for the
first time, or after not using it for a long time, you must fully
charge the pack. Otherwise, the transceiver may not turn ON.
D
Battery caution
R
DANGER! DO NOT
hammer or otherwise impact the bat-
tery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted
or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy
pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on the outside
of the case. Even if the surface of the battery does not show
cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may
rupture or catch fire.
R
DANGER! NEVER
use or leave battery packs in areas
with temperatures above +60˚C. High temperature buildup in
the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a
sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to
rupture or catch fire.
R
DANGER! DO NOT
expose the battery to rain, snow, sea-
water, or any other liquids. Never charge or use a wet battery.
If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using.
R
DANGER! KEEP
battery packs away from fire. Fire or heat
may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used bat-
tery packs in accordance with local regulations.
R
DANGER! NEVER
solder the battery terminals or NEV-
ER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat genera-
tion, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fire.
R
DANGER!
Use the battery only with the transceiver for
which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other
equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this
instruction manual.
R
DANGER!
If fluid from inside the battery gets in your
eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water,
without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.
R
WARNING!
Immediately stop using the battery if it emits
an abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If
any of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or
distributor.
R
WARNING!
Immediately wash, using clean water, any
part of the body that comes into contact with fluid from
inside the battery.
R
WARNING! NEVER
put the battery in a microwave oven,
high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This
could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to burst.
CAUTION:
Always use the battery within the specified
temperature range, for the transceiver –30˚C to +60˚C, and
the battery itself –20˚C to +60˚C. Using the battery out of its
specified temperature range will reduce the battery’s perfor-
mance and battery life.
