BATTERY CHARGING
D D Charging caution
R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with ex-
tremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside a
sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the
safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the bat-
tery to stop charging.
WARNING! DO NOT 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 re-
move the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the
battery beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheat-
ing, or the battery may rupture.
WARNING! NEVER 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 outside of the specified
temperature range: 0˚C to +45˚C; +32˚F to +113˚F. Icom recom-
mends charging the battery at +20˚C (+68˚F). The battery may heat
up or rupture if charged out of the specified temperature range. Ad-
ditionally, battery performance or battery life may be reduced.
