BATTERY CHARGING
■ 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 performance.
R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery packs
with Icom radios or Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are
tested and approved for use with Icom radios or charged with Icom
chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers
may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.
D Battery caution
R DANGER! DO NOT hammer 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 use or leave battery packs in areas with tem-
peratures above +60˚C. High temperature buildup in the battery,
such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated car,
or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture or catch fire.
Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery performance or
shorten battery life.
R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, seawater,
or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery. If the bat-
tery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. The battery is not
waterproof.
