PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
R
DANGER! NEVER
incinerate a used battery pack since inter-
nal 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 communication ter-
minal for which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other
equipment, 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, without rub-
bing 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.
CAUTION:
Always use the battery within the specified tempera-
ture range, –10°C to +60°C (+14°F to +140°F). Using the battery out
of its specified temperature range will reduce the battery’s perfor-
mance and battery life.
CAUTION:
Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left
fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive tempera-
ture environment (above +50°C; +122°F) for an extended period of
time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be
detached from the radio after discharging. You may use the battery
until the battery indicator shows halfcapacity, then keep it safely in
a cool dry place at the following temperature range:
–20°C (–4°F) to +50°C (+122°F) (within a month)
–20°C (–4°F) to +35°C (+95°F) (within three months)
–20°C (–4°F) to +20°C (+68°F) (within a year)
Charging caution
•
R
DANGER! NEVER
charge the battery pack in areas with ex-
tremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside a
sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the
safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the bat-
tery to stop charging.
R
WARNING! DO NOT
charge or leave the battery in the bat-
tery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the battery is
not completely charged by the specified time, stop charging and re-
move the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the
battery beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheat-
ing, or the battery may rupture.
R
WARNING! NEVER
insert the communication terminal (bat-
tery attached to the communication terminal) into the charger if it is
wet or soiled. This could corrode the battery charger terminals or
damage the charger. The charger is not waterproof.
CAUTION: NEVER
