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
(+140˚F)
. High tempera-
ture 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. Excessive tem-
peratures may also degrade battery performance or shorten
battery life.
R
DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow,
seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet
battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before
using. The battery is not waterproof.
R
DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since
internal battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may
cause an explosion.
R
DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals or NEVER
modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation,
and the battery may rupture, emit smoke or catch fire.

of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or dis-
tributor.
WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part
of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the
battery.
Misuse of Lithium-ion batteries may result in the follow-
