BATTERY CHARGING
■
Battery caution
Misuse of Li-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.
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! NEVER
place or leave battery
packs in areas with temperatures above 50°C
(122°F). High temperature buildup in the
battery cells, such as could occur near fires
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 fire.
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 fire.
R
DANGER! NEVER
place battery packs
near a fire. Fire or heat may cause them to
rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery
packs in accordance with local regulations.
R
DANGER! NEVER
let fluid 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 fire, overheating, or cause the battery
cells to rupture.
R
WARNING! NEVER
Iet fluid from inside the
battery cells come in contact with your body. If
it does, immediately wash with clean water.
R
WARNING! NEVER
use deteriorated
battery packs. They could cause a fire.
CAUTION: DO NOT
continue to 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.
CAUTION: DO NOT
expose the battery pack
to rain, snow, saltwater, or any other liquids.
Do not charge or use a wet pack. If the pack
gets wet, be sure to wipe it with a clean dry
cloth before using.
CAUTION: DO NOT
use the battery pack
out of the specified 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 specified temperature range will reduce
its performance and battery cell’s life. Please
note that the specified 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 five 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.
