PRECAUTIONS
R DANGER! NEVER
short the terminals of the 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 metal objects. Shorting may damage
not only the battery pack, but also the communication terminal.
R DANGER!
Use and charge only specified Icom battery
packs with Icom communication terminals 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.
R DANGER! NEVER
operate the communication terminal near
unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
This could cause an explosion and death.
R WARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits Radio
Frequency (RF) energy. Caution should be observed when
operating this device. If you have any questions regarding RF
exposure and safety standards, please refer to the Federal
Communications Commission Office of Engineering and
Technology's report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC
Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
(OET Bulletin 65).
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

・ 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 to +60°C (+14°F to +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) 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 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.
・ 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! DO NOT
