smoke, fire, or the battery pack may rupture. Misuse can
also cause damage to the battery pack or degradation of
battery performance.

D Battery caution

R DANGER! DO NOT strike or otherwise impact the battery
pack. Do not use the battery pack if it has been severely
impacted or dropped, or if it has been subjected to heavy
pressure. The 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 may
rupture or catch fire.
R DANGER! NEVER use the transceiver or the battery if
either one is damaged, shows cracks, bruises or is deformed.
R DANGER! NEVER place or leave the battery pack in areas
with temperatures: Above +60°C (+140˚F)
High temperature buildup in the battery pack, such as could
occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in
direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause the battery
pack to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may
also degrade performance or shorten battery life.

R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery pack to 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.
R DANGER! KEEP the battery pack 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 pack terminals, or
modify the battery pack. This may generate heat in the battery,
and the battery pack may burst, emit smoke or catch fire.
R DANGER! Use the battery pack only with the transceiver
for which it is specified. Never use a battery pack with any
other equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in
this sheet.
R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery pack gets in your
eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water,
without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.
R WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery pack
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 pack.
R WARNING! NEVER put the battery pack in a microwave
oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating
cooker. This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the
battery pack to rupture.
