generation, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or

catch fire.

R

WARNING! NEVER

place or leave battery packs

in areas with temperatures above 60°C (140°F). High

temperature buildup in the battery cells, 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 cells to rupture or catch fire. Excessive

temperatures may also degrade the battery pack’s

performance or shorten the battery cell’s life.

R

WARNING!

NEVER

strike or otherwise impact the

battery pack. Do not use the battery pack if it has been

severely impacted or dropped, or if the pack has been

subjected to heavy pressure. Battery pack 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

WARNING! NEVER

use deteriorated battery packs.

They could cause a fire.

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 cells to rupture.

R

WARNING! NEVER

Iet fluid from inside the battery cells

come in contact with your body. If it does, immediately

wash with clean water.

CAUTION: DO NOT

continue to use 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.

CAUTION: DO NOT

expose the battery pack to rain,

snow, saltwater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use

a wet pack. If the pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it with a

clean dry cloth before using.

CAUTION: DO NOT

use the battery pack out of the

specified temperature range for the transceiver –30°C

~ +60°C (–22°F ~ +140°F), and the battery itself –20°C

~ +60°C (–4°F ~ +140°F). Using the battery out of its

specified temperature range will reduce its performance

and battery cell’s life. Please note that the specified

temperature range of the battery may exceed that of the

transceiver. In such cases, the transceiver may not work

properly because it is out of its operating temperature

range.

CAUTION: DO NOT

leave the pack fully charged,

completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature

environment (above 60°C, 140°F) for an extended

period of time. If the battery pack must be left unused

for a long time, it must be detached from the transceiver

after discharging. You may use the battery pack until the

remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a

cool and dry place at the following temperature range:

–20°C ~ +50°C (–4°F ~ +122°F) (within a month)

–20°C ~ +40°C (–4°F ~ +104°F) (within three months)

–20°C ~ +20°C (–4°F ~ +68°F) (within a year)

BE SURE

to replace the battery pack with a new one

approximately five years after manufacturing, even if it still

holds a charge. The material inside the battery cells will

become weak after a period of time, even with little use.

The estimated number of times you can charge the pack

is between 300 and 500. Even when the pack appears to

be fully charged, the operating time of the transceiver may

become short when:

• Approximately 5 years have passed since the pack was

manufactured.

• The pack has been repeatedly charged.

D
