BATTERY PACKS
■ Cautions
• R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery
packs with Icom radios. Only Icom battery packs are tested
and approved for use with Icom radios. Using third-party or
counterfeit battery packs may cause smoke, fire, or cause
the battery to burst.

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 pack in areas
with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature
build up 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 temper-
atures may also degrade battery performance or shorten
battery life.
• R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow,
seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet
battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before
using.
• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate an used battery pack since
internal 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 gen-
eration, and the battery may burst, 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
equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this in-
struction manual.
• R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your
eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean
water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.
• 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 dis-
tributor.
• WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part
of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the
battery.
Misuse of Lithium-Ion batteries may result in the follow-
ing hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture.
Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degra-
dation of battery performance.
