short terminals of the battery pack.
Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such as
a key, so be careful when placing the battery packs (or
the transceiver) in handbags, etc. Simply carrying with or
placing near metal objects such as a key, etc. may cause
shorting. This may damage not only the battery pack, but
also the transceiver.

DANGER!
Use and charge only specified Icom battery
packs with Icom transceivers or Icom chargers. Only Icom
battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom
transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-
party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause
smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.

WARNING! NEVER
hold the transceiver that the
antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the
body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The
transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm
away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.

WARNING! NEVER
operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume
operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce
the volume level or discontinue use.
