■ 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.
D Battery caution
R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the battery
pack. Do not use the battery pack if it has been severely impacted or
dropped, or if it has been subjected to heavy pressure. The damage
may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface
of the battery pack does not show cracks or any other damage, the
cells inside may rupture or catch fire.
R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas with
temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature buildup in
the battery, 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 to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures
may also degrade battery performance or shorten battery life.
R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery pack to rain, snow,
seawater, or any other liquids. Never charge or use a wet battery
pack. If the battery pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before
using.
R DANGER! KEEP the battery pack away from fire. Fire or heat
may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of an used battery
pack in accordance with local regulations.
R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery pack terminals, or modify
the battery pack. This may generate heat in the battery, and the
battery pack may burst, emit smoke or catch fire.
R DANGER! Use the battery pack only with the transceiver
for which it is specified. Never use a battery pack with any other
equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruction
manual.
R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery pack gets in your eyes,
blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without
rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.
R WARNING! Immediately stop using 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.
R WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the
body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the battery pack.
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 to rupture.
CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified temperature
range, –20˚C to +60˚C (–4˚F to +140˚F). Using the battery pack
out of its specified temperature range will reduce the battery’s
performance and battery life.
