BATTERY CHARGING

Battery pack cautions

RDANGER! NEVER
battery pack.
Shorting may occur if the terminals touch metal objects
such as a key, so be careful when placing the battery
packs (or the communication terminal) in bags, and so
on. Carry them so that shorting cannot occur with met-
al objects. Shorting may damage not only the battery
pack, but also the communication terminal.
RDANGER! NEVER
fied Icom battery packs with Icom communication ter-
minals or Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are
tested and approved for use with Icom communication
terminals or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-
party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may
cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.

D Battery cautions

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.
RDANGER! NEVER
battery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely
impacted or dropped, or if the battery has been sub-
jected 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.
RDANGER! NEVER
with temperatures above +60°C (+140°F). High tem-
perature 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 per-
formance or shorten battery life.
RDANGER! NEVER
to rain, snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Do not
charge or use a wet battery pack. If the battery pack
gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using.
RDANGER! NEVER
pack since internal battery gas may cause it to rupture,
or may cause an explosion.
RDANGER! NEVER
or NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause
heat generation, and the battery pack may burst, emit
smoke or catch fire.
RDANGER!
Use the battery pack only with the
communication terminal for which it is specified. Never
use a battery pack with any other equipment, or for any
short the terminals of the

purpose that is not specified in this instruction manual.
RDANGER!
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.
RWARNING!
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.
RWARNING!
Immediately wash, using clean water,
any part of the body that comes into contact with fluid
from inside the battery.
RWARNING! NEVER
crowave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induc-
tion heating cooker. This could cause a fire, overheat-
ing, or cause the battery pack to rupture.
CAUTION:
Always use the battery pack within the
specified temperature range, –10˚C to +60˚C (+14˚F to
+140˚F). Using the battery pack out of its specified tem-
perature range will reduce the battery's performance
and battery life.
CAUTION:
Shorter battery life could occur if the bat-
tery pack 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 pack must be left unused for a long time, it must
be detached from the terminal after discharging. You
may use the battery pack 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) to +50˚C (+122˚F) (within a month)
–20˚C (–4˚F) to +35˚C (+95˚F) (within three months)
–20˚C (–4˚F) to +20˚C (+68˚F) (within a year)
BE SURE
to replace the battery pack with a new one
after five years, even if still holds a charge. The material
inside the battery will deteriorate 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 oper-
ating time of the communication terminal may become
short when:
・ Approximately five years have passed since the bat-
tery was manufactured.
・ The battery has been repeatedly charged.
