D Charging Caution - Icom IC-M93D EURO Instruction Manual

CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery 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 transceiver after discharging. You may use
the battery pack until the remaining capacity is about half, then keep
it safely in a cool and dry place at the following temperature range:
–20˚C ~ +50˚C (–4˚F ~ +122˚F) (within a month)
–20˚C ~ +40˚C (–4˚F ~ +104˚F) (within three months)
–20˚C ~ +20˚C (–4˚F ~ +68˚F) (within a year)
BE SURE to replace the battery pack with a new one approximately
five years after manufacturing, even if it still holds a charge. The inside
battery material will become weak after a period of time, even with
little use. The estimated number of times you can charge the battery
is between 300 and 500. Even when the battery appears to be fully
charged, the operating time of the transceiver may become short when:
• Approximately five years have passed since the battery was
manufactured.
• The battery has been repeatedly charged.

D Charging caution

R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with
extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside
a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such environments,
the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the
battery to stop charging.
R DANGER! NEVER charge the transceiver during a lightning
storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the
transceiver. Always disconnect the power adapter before a storm.
BATTERY CHARGING
R WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery in the battery
charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the battery is
not completely charged by the specified time, stop charging and
remove the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge
the battery beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire,
overheating, or the battery may rupture.
R WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery attached to
the transceiver) into the charger if it is wet or soiled. This could
corrode the battery charger terminals or damage the charger. The
charger is not waterproof.
NOTE: Charge the battery pack within the specified temperature
range: +10˚C ~ +45˚C (+50˚F ~ +113˚F). Otherwise, the charging
time will be longer, but the battery will not reach a full charge. While
charging, at a point after the temperature goes out of the specified
range, the charging will automatically stop.
NOTE: Be sure the slots on the battery pack are correctly aligned
with the guide tabs inside the battery charger.
