Caution
(for the BP-265 Li-Ion battery)
R
DANGER! NEVER short terminals (or charging terminals)
of the battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal
objects such as a necklace, so be careful when placing bat-
tery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc.
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as
a necklace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not
only the battery pack, but also the transceiver.
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 pack 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 rup-
ture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade
battery performance or shorten battery life.
R
DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, sea-
water, 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.
R
DANGER! NEVER incinerate a used battery pack since
internal battery gas may cause it 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 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 equip-
ment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruc-
tion manual.
R
DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes,
blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, with-
out 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
rupture.
Misuse of Li-Ion batteries may result in the following haz-
ards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can
also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery
performance.
