Battery pack cautions

RDANGER! NEVER
ing terminals) of the battery pack. Also, current may flow
into nearby metal objects such as a key, so be careful
when placing battery packs (or the communication ter-
minal) in bags, etc. Simply carrying with or placing near
metal objects may cause shorting. This may damage
not only the battery pack, but also the communication
terminal.
RDANGER!
Use and charge only specified Icom
battery packs with Icom terminals or Icom chargers.
Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for
use with Icom terminals or charged with Icom char-
gers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs may
cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery pack to burst.
D Battery cautions
R
DANGER! DO NOT
the battery pack. Do not use the battery pack if it has
been severely impacted or dropped, or if the battery
pack 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 pack does not show
cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery
pack may rupture or catch fire.
R
DANGER! NEVER
areas with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High
temperature buildup in the battery, such as could occur
near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct
sunlight may cause the battery pack to rupture or catch
fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery
performance or shorten battery life.
RDANGER! DO NOT
rain, snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge
or use a wet battery pack. If the battery pack gets wet,
be sure to wipe it dry before using.
RDANGER! NEVER
pack since internal battery gas may cause it to rupture,
or may cause an explosion.
RDANGER! NEVER
or NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause
heat generation, and the battery pack may burst, emit
smoke or catch fire.
RDANGER!
Use the battery pack only with the com-
munication terminal for which it is specified. Never use
a battery pack with any other equipment, or for any pur-
pose that is not specified in this instruction manual.

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.
RWARNING!
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.
RWARNING!
Immediately wash, using clean water,
any part of the body that comes into contact with fluid
from inside the battery.
RWARNING! NEVER
crowave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induc-
tion heating cooker. This could cause a fire, overheat-
ing, or cause the battery pack to rupture.
CAUTION:
Always use the battery pack within the
specified temperature range, –20˚C to +60˚C (–4˚F to
+140˚F). Using the battery pack out of its specified tem-
perature range will reduce the battery's performance
and battery life.
CAUTION:
Shorter battery life could occur if the bat-
tery pack is left 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 terminal after discharging. You
may use the battery pack until the battery indicator
shows half capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry
place at the following temperature range:
–20˚C (–4˚F) to +50˚C (+122˚F) (within a month)
–20˚C (–4˚F) to +35˚C (+95˚F) (within three months)
–20˚C (–4˚F) to +20˚C (+68˚F) (within a year)
BE SURE
to replace the battery pack with a new one
after five years, even if still holds a charge. The material
inside the battery will deteriorate after a period of time,
even with little use.
