Battery Charging; Battery Caution - Icom IC-M35 Instruction Manual

■ Battery caution

Misuse of Lithium-Ion batteries may result in the follow-
ing hazards: smoke, fi re, or the battery may rupture.
Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or deg-
radation 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 bat-
tery 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 bat-
tery. 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 fi re.

BATTERY CHARGING

R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas
with temperatures above +60˚C. High temperature buildup in
the battery, such as could occur near fi res or stoves, inside
a sun-heated car, or by setting the battery 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! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow,
saltwater, or any other liquids. Never charge or use a wet
battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before
using. The battery by itself is not waterproof.
R DANGER! NEVER incinerate a used battery pack since
internal battery gas may cause them to rupture or may
cause an explosion.
R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or
NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat gen-
eration, and the battery may rupture, emit smoke or catch
fi re.
R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for
which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other
equipment, or for any purpose that is not described 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 see a doctor immediately.
