1 PRE-OPERATION
Hi Cautions
NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery
gas may cause an explosion.
NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the
battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry
BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver.
NEVER short terminals of the battery pack. Internal
components may become damaged. Also, current may
flow into nearby metal objects so be careful when
placing battery packs in handbags, etc.
Mi Charging notes
e The transceiver must be turned OFF when charging a
battery pack attached to the transceiver. Failure to do
so may damage the transceiver.
e Charging may not be successful in extreme cold
(under 10°C ; +50°F ) or extreme heat (over +40°C ;
+104°F ).
e The use of non-lcom battery packs/chargers may
impair transceiver performance and invalidate the
warranty.
Hi Battery life
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after
being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the
power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack
again. If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or
very little), a new battery pack must be purchased.
Mi Battery pack removal
The IC-M15's water-proof construction is only maintained
when the battery pack is securely attached to the
transceiver body. We recommend battery pack removal
only when absolutely necessary i.e. when exchanging the
attached battery pack for another one.
To remove: use a coin or flat-head screwdriver to loosen
the bottom screw, then slide the battery pack free of the
transceiver.
To attach: reverse the above process.
CAUTIONS:
@ GENTLY attach the 7
battery pack to the trans-
ceiver to avoid damage ~~~
to the speaker.
@ Tighten the bottom
HY, screw SECURELY to en- |
%Y sure water-tightness.
