Battery/Battery Charging - Caution - Icom IC-F9011 User Manual

■ Caution
Misuse of Lithium-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.
DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom
battery packs with Icom radios or Icom chargers.
Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved
for use and charge with Icom radios or Icom
chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery
packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause
the battery to burst.
◇Battery caution
• 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.
• DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs 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 car 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. battery life
• DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain,
snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Never charge
or use a wet battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure
to wipe it dry before using.
• DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs
since internal battery gas may cause them to i i t l b tt
rupture, or may cause an explosion.
• DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals
and NEVER modify the battery pack. This may
cause heat generation, and the battery may
rupture, emit smoke or catch fire.
• DANGER! Use the battery only with the
transceiver for which it is specified. Never use a
battery with any other equipment, or for any
purpose that is not specified in this instruction
manual.

Battery/Battery Charging - Caution

g th t
• DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in
your eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes
with clean water, without rubbing them, and see a
doctor immediately.
• WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it
emits an abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored
or deformed. If any of these conditions occur, or deformed If any of these conditions occur
contact your Icom dealer or distributor.
• WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water,
any part of the body that comes into contact with
fluid from inside the battery.
• 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.
• CAUTION! Always use the battery within the
specified temperature range for the transceiver (–
30˚C to +60˚C; –22˚F to +140˚F) and the battery
itself (–20˚C to +60˚C; –4˚F to +140˚F). Using (
the battery out of its specified temperature range
will reduce the battery's performance and battery
life.
• CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the
battery is left fully charged, completely discharged,
or in an excessive temperature environment (above
+45 C; +113 F) for an extended period of time. If +45˚C; +113˚F) for an extended period of time If
the battery must be left unused for a long time, it
must be detached from the radio after discharging.
You may use the battery until the remaining
capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool
dry place with the temperature range as below;
–20˚C to +45˚C (–4˚F to +113˚F) (within a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F) (within three
months) –20 C to +25 C (–4 F to +77 F) (within a months) 20˚C to +25˚C ( 4˚F to +77˚F) (within a
year)
◇Charging caution
• DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in
areas with extremely high temperatures, such as
near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in
direct sunlight. In such environments, the
safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate,
causing the battery to stop charging.
