5 BATTERY CHARGING Charging caution RRDANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the battery to stop charging. RRWARNING! NEVER charge the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power adapter before a storm. RRWARNING! NEVER 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. RRWARNING! Occasionally observe the battery pack condition while charging. If any abnormal condition occurs, discontinue using the battery pack. CAUTION: DO NOT 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 pack outside of the specified temperature range: 10°C ~ 40°C (50°F ~ 104°F). Icom recommends charging the pack at 20°C (68°F). The pack may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified temperature range. Additionally, battery performance or battery life may be reduced. 5-3
