BATTERYCHARGING

RDANGER! NEVERsolder the battery terminals or NEVER mod-

ify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the bat-

tery 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, blind-

ness 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 abnor-

mal odor, heats up, or is discolored 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! NEVERput 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 (–10˚C to +60˚C; 14˚F to +140˚F). Using the bat-

tery out of its speciﬁed temperature range will reduce the battery’s

performance and battery life. Please note that the specified tem-

perature range of the battery may exceed that of the transceiver. In

such cases, the transceiver may not work properly because it is out

of its operating temperature range.

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 the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be de-

tached 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 between –20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F

to +95˚F).
