Battery cautions
NEVER
incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas
may cause an explosion.
NEVER
immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack
becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry
BEFORE
attaching it to
the transceiver.
NEVER
short terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may
flow into nearby metal objects so be careful when placing bat-
tery packs in handbags, etc.
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after
being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power
ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the
battery pack still does not retain a charge (or very little), a
new battery pack must be purchased.
Use Icom battery packs, chargers and cables only. The use of
non-Icom products may impair transceiver performance and
invalidate the warranty.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still
flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from
the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise,
the battery pack or installed batteries will become exhausted.
