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

■ Battery caution

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 degrada-
tion of battery performance.
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 fire.
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 fires or stoves, inside a
sun-heated car, or by setting the battery in direct sunlight for
long periods of time may cause the battery to rupture or catch
fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery per-
formance 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.

BATTERY CHARGING

R DANGER! KEEP battery packs away from fire. Fire or
heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of an
used battery pack in accordance with local regulations.
R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or NEVER
modify the battery pack. This may generate heat in the bat-
tery, and the battery pack may burst, emit smoke or catch
fire.
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, with-
out rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.
R WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits
an abnormal odour, heats up, or is discoloured 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 overheating, a fire, or cause the battery to
rupture.
