4 BATTERY CHARGING

Caution

Misuse of Lithium-ion batteries may result in the follow- ing hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degra- dation of battery performance.

RDANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery packs with Icom radios or Icom charger. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use and charge with Icom radios or Icom charger. Using third-party or counterfeit bat- tery packs or charger may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.

DBattery caution

RDANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the bat- tery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy pres- sure. 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.

RDANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas with temperatures 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.

RDANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, sea- water, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet bat- tery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. The battery is not waterproof.

RDANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since internal battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may cause an explosion.

RDANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals or NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the battery may rupture, emit smoke or catch fire.

RDANGER! 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.

RDANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, with- out rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.
