BATTERY CHARGING

D Battery caution
Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following hazards:
smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can also cause
damage to the battery or degradation of battery's performance.
R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or NEVER
modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the
battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fire.
R DANGER! NEVER leave battery pack in places 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 vehicle, or in direct sunlight for long periods of time may
cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures
may also degrade battery's performance or shorten battery life.
R DANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise impact the battery. 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 expose the battery to rain, snow, seawater, or
any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery. If the battery
gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using.
R DANGER! NEVER place or leave battery packs near fire. Fire or
heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery
packs in accordance with local regulations.
R DANGER! NEVER use the battery with a transceiver for which
it is not specified. Never use a battery with any other equipment, or
for any purpose that is not specified in this instruction manual.

R DANGER! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery get in your
eyes. If it does, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean
water, without rubbing them, and immediately go to a doctor.
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.
R WARNING! NEVER use 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! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery come in
contact with your body. It it does, immediately wash with clean water.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery pack out of the specified
temperature range.
• IC-M93D: –20°C ~ +60°C (–4°F ~ +140°F)
• IC-M93D EURO: –15˚C ~ +55˚C
(–10˚C ~ +55˚C for the Australian version)
• BP-285: –20°C ~ +60°C (–4°F ~ +140°F)
Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the
battery's performance and battery life. Please note that the specified
temperature range of the battery may exceed that of the transceiver. In
such cases, the transceiver may not work properly because it is out of
its operating temperature range.
