Misuse of Lithium-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! Use and charge only specified Icom battery packs

with Icom radios or Icom charger. Only Icom battery packs are

tested and approved for use and charge with Icom radios or Icom

charger. Using third-party or counterfeit battery 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 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 use or leave battery packs in areas with

temperatures above +60˚C. High temperature buildup in the bat-

tery, 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 perform-

ance 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 bat-

tery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. The battery is

not waterproof.

R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since internal

battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may cause an explosion.
