Icom IC-F14/S Instruction Manual page 29

R 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.
R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes, blind-
ness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing
them, and see a doctor immediately.
R WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an ab-
normal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of these
conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distributor.
R WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of
the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the battery.
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.
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 bat-
tery 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 +50˚C; +122˚F) for an extended period of time.
If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be de-
tached from the transceiver 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 shown below:
–20˚C to +50˚C: –4˚F to +122˚F (up to a month)
–20˚C to +40˚C: –4˚F to +104˚F (up to three months)
–20˚C to +20˚C: –4˚F to +68˚F (up to a year)
