• 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 tem-
perature range for the transceiver (–10˚C to +60˚C; +14˚F
to +140˚F) and the battery itself (–10˚C to +60˚C; +14˚F to
+140˚F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature
range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life.
• CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is
left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive
temperature environment (above +45˚C; +113˚F) for an ex-
tended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a
long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharg-
ing. You may use the battery until the battery becomes
about half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place
with the temperature between –20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to
+95˚F).

Charging caution
• R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with
extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves,
inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such envi-
ronments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will acti-
vate, causing the battery to stop charging.
• 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 remove the battery from the battery charger.
Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specified time
limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rup-
ture.
• WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery attached
to the transceiver) 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! DO NOT charge the battery outside of the spec-
ified temperature range: 10˚C to +40˚C (+50˚F to +104˚F).
Icom recommends charging the battery at +20˚C (+68˚F).
The battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the
specified temperature range. Additionally, battery perfor-
mance or battery life may be reduced.
