■ Battery cautions
Misuse of Lithium-ion batteries may result in the follow-
ing hazards: smoke, re, or battery rupture.
Misuse can also cause other battery damage or degrada-
tion of battery performance.
• R DANGER! Use and charge only specied Icom battery
pack with Icom transceiver. Only Icom battery pack is
tested and approved for use with Icom transceiver. Us-
ing third-party or counterfeit battery packs may cause
smoke, re, 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 im-
pacted 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 in-
side the battery may rupture or catch re.
• R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas
with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High tempera-
ture buildup in the battery, such as could occur near res
or stoves, inside a sun-heated car, or by setting the bat-
tery in direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture
or catch re. 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 battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry
before using. The battery by itself is not waterproof.
• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate a used battery pack since
internal battery gas may cause a rupture or explosion.
• R DANGER! 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 re.
• R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for
which it is specied. Never use a battery with any other
equipment, or for any purpose that is not specied in this
instruction manual.
• R DANGER! If uid from inside the battery gets in your
eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean
water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immedi-
ately.
• R WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it
emits an abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or de-
formed. 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 uid from
inside the battery.
