■ 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 incinerate used
battery packs. Internal battery gas may
cause an explosion.
R DANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise
impact the battery pack. Do not use
the battery pack if it has been severely
impacted or dropped, or if the pack has
been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery
pack 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 the battery
pack in places with temperatures above
60°C (140°F). High temperature buildup
in the battery cells, such as could occur
near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated
vehicle, or in direct sunlight for long
periods of time may cause the battery
cells to rupture or catch fire. Excessive
temperatures may also degrade the battery
pack's performance or shorten the battery
cell's life.
R DANGER! NEVER place battery packs
near a fire. Fire or heat may cause them
to rupture or explode. Dispose of used
battery packs in accordance with local
regulations.
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! NEVER let fluid from inside
the battery get in your eyes. This can
cause blindness. Rinse your eyes with
clean water, without rubbing them, and
immediately go to a doctor.

BATTERY CHARGING

R WARNING! NEVER let fluid from inside
the battery cells come in contact with your
body. If it does, immediately wash with
clean water.
R WARNING! NEVER put the battery
pack in a microwave oven, high-
pressure container, or in an induction
heating cooker. This could cause a fire,
overheating, or cause the battery cells to
rupture.
R WARNING! NEVER use deteriorated
battery packs. They could cause a fire.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery pack
out of the specified temperature range for
the transceiver:
IC-M94D: –20°C ~ +60°C (–4°F ~ +140°F)
IC-M94DE: –15°C ~ +55°C (5°F ~ 131°F)
IC-M94DE (AUS):
and the battery itself (–20°C ~ +60°C (–4°F
~ +140°F)). Using the battery out of its
specified temperature range will reduce its
performance and battery cell's life. Please
note that the specified temperature range
of the battery may exceed that of the
transceiver. In such cases, the transceiver
may not work properly because it is out of
its operating temperature range.
CAUTION: DO NOT leave the battery pack
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 transceiver after
discharging. You may use the battery pack
until the remaining capacity is about half,
then keep it safely in a cool and dry place
at the following temperature range:
• Within a month
–20°C ~ +50°C (–4°F ~ +122°F)
• Within three months
–20°C ~ +40°C (–4°F ~ +104°F)
• Within a year
–20°C ~ +20°C (–4°F ~ +68°F)
–10°C ~ +55°C (14°F ~ 131°F)
