8 BATTERY CHARGING ■ Battery caution Misuse of Lithium-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! Use and charge only specified Icom battery pack with Icom radios or Icom charger. Only Icom battery pack is tested and approved for use and charge with Icom radios or Icom charger. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or charger may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst. D Battery caution R DANGER! DO NOT hammer 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. 1 R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas 2 with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High tempera- 3 ture buildup in the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated car, or by setting the battery in 4 direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. 5 Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery perfor- mance or shorten battery life. 6 R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, 7 saltwater, or any other liquids. Never charge or use a wet battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before 8 using. The battery by itself is not waterproof. 9 R DANGER! NEVER incinerate a used battery pack since 10 internal battery gas may cause them to rupture or may cause an explosion. 11 R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or 12 NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat gen- eration, and the battery may rupture, emit smoke or catch 13 fire. 14 R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other 15 equipment, or for any purpose that is not described in this 16 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 see a doctor immediately. 21
