Use and charge only specified Icom battery packs with Icom transceivers or Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst. - Page 6 PRECAUTIONS (Continued) CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna, battery pack and jack cover are securely attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to dust or water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.
- Page 7 Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed battery pack will become exhausted, and will need to be recharged or replaced. MAKE SURE to turn OFF the transceiver power before connect- ing the supplied/optional equipment.
