BATTERY CHARGING
■ Caution
Misuse of Lithium-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! Use and charge only specified Icom battery
packs with Icom radios or Icom charger. Only Icom battery
packs are tested and approved for use and charge with Icom
radios or Icom charger. Using third-party or counterfeit bat-
tery packs or charger may cause smoke, fire, or cause the
battery to burst.
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 packs in areas
with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High tempera-
ture 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 rupture or catch fire. Excessive tempera-
tures may also degrade battery performance or shorten bat-
tery life.
R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, sea-
water, or any other liquids. Never charge or use a wet battery.
If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using.
The battery is not waterproof.
R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since in-
ternal battery gas may cause them 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 rupture, 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.
