ABOUT THE BATTERY

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 use or leave battery pack in areas
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.

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.

odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of these
conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distributor.

could cause a fire.
R WARNING! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery come
in contact with your body. If it does, immediately wash with
clean water.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery pack out of the speci-
fied temperature range.

Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will
reduce the battery's performance and battery life. Please note
