D Charging Caution - Icom IC-F3032T Instruction Manual

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 tem-
perature range, –20˚C to +55˚C. Using the battery out of its
specified temperature range will reduce the battery's perfor-
mance 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) for an extended
period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long
time, it must be detached from the radio after discharging.
You may use the battery until the remaining capacity is about
half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the tempera-
ture range as below:
–20˚C to +50˚C (within a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (within three months)
BATTERY CHARGING
D 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 car, or in direct sunlight. In such environ-
ments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate,
causing the battery to stop charging.
R WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery in the bat-
tery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the
battery is not completely charged by the specified time, stop
charging and remove the battery from the battery charger.
Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specified time
limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rup-
ture.
R WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery at-
tached 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: NEVER charge the battery outside of the speci-
fied temperature range: BC-160 and BC-171 (0˚C to +45˚C).
BC-119N and BC121N (+10˚C to +40˚C). Icom recommends
charging the battery at +20˚C. The battery may heat up or
rupture if charged out of the specified temperature range.
Additionally, battery performance or battery life may be re-
duced.
