8 BATTERY CHARGING • WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause overheating, a fire, or cause the battery to rupture. • CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specified temperature range for the transceiver (-20˚C to +60˚C; -4˚F to +140˚F) and the battery itself (-20˚C to +60˚C; -4˚F to +140˚F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the battery's performance and battery 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! 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 extended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharging. You may use the battery until the battery indicator shows half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature between -20˚C to +25˚C (-4˚F to +77˚F). D 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 environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the battery to stop charging. • WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the battery 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 rupture. • WARNING! NEVER insert the battery and 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 specified temperature range: ±0˚C to +45˚C (+32˚F to +113˚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 performance or battery life may be reduced. 24

BATTERY CHARGING
•
WARNING! NEVER
put the battery in a microwave oven,
high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker.
This could cause overheating, a
fi
re, or cause the battery to
rupture.
•
CAUTION!
Always use the battery within the speci
fi
ed tem-
perature range for the transceiver (
–
20
˚
C to +60
˚
C;
–
4
˚
F to
+140
˚
F) and the battery itself (
–
20
˚
C to +60
˚
C;
–
4
˚
F to
+140
˚
F). Using the battery out of its speci
fi
ed temperature
range will reduce the battery
’
s performance and battery life.
Please note that the speci
fi
ed temperature range of the bat-
tery may exceed that of the transceiver. In such cases, the
transceiver may not work properly because it is out of its op-
erating temperature range.
•
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 indicator
shows half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place
with the temperature between
–
20
˚
C to +25
˚
C (
–
4
˚
F to
+77
˚
F).

Charging caution

R
DANGER! NEVER
charge the battery pack in areas with
extremely high temperatures, such as near
fi
res 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 speci
fi
ed time, stop
charging and remove the battery from the battery charger.
Continuing to charge the battery beyond the speci
fi
ed time
limit may cause a
fi
re, overheating, or the battery may rup-
ture.
•
WARNING! NEVER
insert the battery and transceiver (bat-
tery 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-
i
fi
ed temperature range: ±0
˚
C to +45
˚
C (+32
˚
F to +113
˚
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.
