4 BATTERY CHARGING ■ Caution Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery cells may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery pack or degradation of the pack's performance. D Battery caution R DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Shorting may occur if the terminals touch metal objects such as a key, so be careful when placing the packs (or the transceiver) in bags, and so on. Carry them so that shorting cannot occur. Shorting may damage not only the pack, but also the transceiver. R DANGER! NEVER leave the battery pack in places 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 battery pack's performance or shorten the battery cell's life. R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery cell's terminals, and NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the battery cells may burst, emit smoke or catch fire. R DANGER! NEVER expose the battery pack to rain, snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery pack. If the pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. The battery pack itself is not waterproof. R DANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise impact the battery pack. Do not use the pack if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if it has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface of the pack does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the pack may rupture or catch fire. R DANGER! NEVER place battery packs near a fire. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used packs in accordance with local regulations. R DANGER! NEVER use the battery pack with a transceiver for which it is not specified. Never use a pack with any other equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in the transceiver's instruction manual. R DANGER! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery cells get in your eyes. If it does, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and immediately go to a doctor. R DANGER! NEVER use and charge Icom battery packs with nonIcom transceivers or non-Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery cells to burst. 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 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. 19

Caution
Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following hazards: smoke,
fire, or the battery cells may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage
to the battery pack or degradation of the pack’s performance.
D
Battery caution
R
DANGER! NEVER
short the terminals of the battery pack. Short-
ing may occur if the terminals touch metal objects such as a key, so
be careful when placing the packs (or the transceiver) in bags, and
so on. Carry them so that shorting cannot occur. Shorting may dam-
age not only the pack, but also the transceiver.
R
DANGER! NEVER
leave the battery pack in places with tempera-
tures 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 battery pack’s performance or shorten the battery cell’s
life.
R
DANGER! NEVER
solder the battery cell’s terminals, and
NEVER
modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the bat-
tery cells may burst, emit smoke or catch fire.
R
DANGER! NEVER
expose the battery pack to rain, snow, sea-
water, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery pack.
If the pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using.
The battery
pack itself is not waterproof.
R
DANGER! NEVER
strike or otherwise impact the battery pack. Do
not use the pack if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if it
has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery damage may not be
visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface of the pack does
not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the pack may
rupture or catch fire.
R
DANGER! NEVER
place battery packs near a fire. Fire or heat
may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used packs in ac-
cordance with local regulations.
R
DANGER! NEVER
use the battery pack with a transceiver for
which it is not specified. Never use a pack with any other equipment,
or for any purpose that is not specified in the transceiver’s instruction
manual.
R
DANGER! NEVER
let fluid from inside the battery cells get in
your eyes. If it does, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean
water, without rubbing them, and immediately go to a doctor.
R
DANGER! NEVER
use and charge Icom battery packs with non-
Icom transceivers or non-Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are

Icom chargers.
Using third-party or counterfeit packs or chargers may cause smoke,
fire, or cause the battery cells to burst.

high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could
cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery cells to rupture.
