Battery Charging; Battery Caution - Icom IC-M36 Instruction Manual

D Battery caution
Misuse of Lithium-Ion batteries may result in the follow-
ing hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture.
Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or deg-
radation of battery's performance.
R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or
NEVER modify the battery pack. This may generate heat in
the battery, and the battery pack may burst, emit smoke or
catch fire.
R DANGER! NEVER leave battery pack in areas with tem-
peratures above 60˚C (140˚F). 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
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 pres-
sure. 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! 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.

BATTERY CHARGING

R DANGER! NEVER 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.
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 in-
struction 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 abnor-
mal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of
these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distribu-
tor.
R WARNING! let fluid from inside the battery come in con-
tact with your body. It it does, immediately wash with clean
water.
