R WARNING! NEVER hold the communication terminal so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The communication terminal will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the communication terminal is vertical. R WARNING! NEVER operate the communication terminal with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. The continuous high volume operation may cause a ringing in your ears. If you experience a ringing, reduce the volume level or discontinue use. CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning, because they will damage the communication terminal's surfaces. CAUTION: DO NOT operate the communication terminal unless the flexible antenna, battery pack, and jack cover are securely attached. Confirm that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attaching. Exposing the inside of the communication terminal to dust or water will result in serious damage to the communication terminal. After exposure to water, clean the battery contacts thoroughly with fresh water and dry them completely to remove any water or salt residue. DO NOT use or place the communication terminal in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below -10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F). DO NOT push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to transmit. DO NOT modify the communication terminal. The specifications may change and then the communication terminal may not comply with the requirements of required regulations. The communication terminal warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification. BE CAREFUL! The communication terminal will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods of time. BE CAREFUL! The communication terminal meets IPX7* requirements for waterproof protection. However, once the communication terminal has been dropped, waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the communication terminal's case or waterproof seal. *Only when the BP-271 or BP-272 (option), flexible antenna or antenna cap and [ / ] cap are attached. The optional BP-273 meets IPX4 requirements for splash resistance. When it is attached, the communication terminal corresponds to IPX4. DD Battery caution Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery performance. R DANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise impact the battery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery 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 DANGER! NEVER leave battery pack in places with temperatures above +60°C (+140°F). High temperature buildup in the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery performance or shorten battery life. R DANGER! NEVER expose the battery to rain, snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. R DANGER! NEVER incinerate a used battery pack since internal battery gas may cause it to rupture, or may cause an explosion. R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fire. R DANGER! Use the battery only with the communication terminal for which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruction manual. R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and go to a doctor immediately. PRECAUTIONS (Continued) R WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery 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. R WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the battery. R 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 temperature range, -10°C ~ +60°C (+14°F ~ +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 +50°C; +122°F) for an extended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the terminal after discharging. You may use the battery until the battery indicator shows half capacity, then keep it safely in a cool and dry place at the following temperature range: -20°C (-4°F) ~ +50°C (+122°F) (within a month) -20°C (-4°F) ~ +35°C (+95°F) (within three months) -20°C (-4°F) ~ +20°C (+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 inside battery material will become weak after a period of time, even with little use. The estimated number of times you can charge the battery is between 300 and 500. Even when the battery appears to be fully charged, the operating time of the communication terminal may become short when: ••Approximately five years have passed since the battery was manufactured. ••The battery has been repeatedly charged. DD 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 vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the battery to stop charging. R WARNING! NEVER charge the communication terminal during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the communication terminal. Always disconnect the power adapter before a storm. R WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery in the battery charger beyond the specified time for charging.
