Battery caution

Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following 

hazards: smoke, fi re, or the battery may rupture. Misuse 

can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of 

battery performance.

 

R

DANGER! NEVER

 solder the battery terminals, or 

NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat 

generation, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or 

catch fi re.

 

R

DANGER! NEVER

 place or leave battery packs in 

areas with temperatures above 60°C (140°F). High 

temperature buildup in the battery cells, such as could 

occur near fi res or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, 

or in direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause 

the battery cells to rupture or catch fi re. Excessive 

temperatures may also degrade the battery pack’s 

performance or shorten the battery cell’s life.

 

R

DANGER! NEVER

 strike or otherwise impact the 

battery pack. Do not use the battery pack if it has been 

severely impacted or dropped, or if the pack has been 

subjected to heavy pressure. Battery pack 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 

fi re.

 

R

DANGER! NEVER

 expose the battery pack to rain, 

snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or 

use a wet pack. If the pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry 

before using.

 

R

DANGER! NEVER

 place or leave battery packs near 

fi re.

Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. 

Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with local 

regulations.

 

R

DANGER! NEVER

 let fl uid from inside the battery get 

in your eyes. This can cause blindness. Rinse your eyes 

with clean water, without rubbing them, and immediately 

go to a doctor.

 

R

WARNING! NEVER

 put the battery pack in a microwave 

oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating 

cooker. This could cause a fi re, overheating, or cause the 

battery cells to rupture.

 

R

WARNING! NEVER

 use the battery pack 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! NEVER

 Iet fl uid from inside the battery cells 

come in contact with your body. If it does, immediately 

wash with clean water.

CAUTION: DO NOT

 use the battery pack out of the 

specifi ed temperature range for the transceiver (–30°C 

~ +60°C (–22°F ~ +140°F)) and the battery itself (–20°C 

~ +60°C (–4°F ~ +140°F)). Using the battery out of its 

specifi ed temperature range will reduce its performance 

and battery cell’s life. Please note that the specifi ed 

temperature range of the battery may exceed that of the 

transceiver. In such cases, the transceiver may not work 

properly because it is out of its operating temperature 

range.

CAUTION: DO NOT

 leave the pack fully charged, 

completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature 

environment (above 50°C, 122°F) for an extended 

period of time. If the battery pack must be left unused 

for a long time, it must be detached from the transceiver 

after discharging. You may use the battery pack until the 

remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a 

cool and dry place at the following temperature range:

–20°C ~ +50°C (–4°F ~ +122°F) (within a month)

–20°C ~ +40°C (–4°F ~ +104°F) (within three months)

–20°C ~ +20°C (–4°F ~ +68°F) (within a year)

BE SURE

 to replace the battery pack with a new one 

approximately fi ve years after manufacturing, even if it still 

holds a charge. The material inside the battery cells will 

become weak after a period of time, even with little use.

The estimated number of times you can charge the pack 

is between 300 and 500. Even when the pack appears to 

be fully charged, the operating time of the transceiver may 

become short when:

 •  Approximately 5 years have passed since the pack was 

manufactured.

 • The pack has been repeatedly charged.

 

D

Charging caution
