lowing hazards: smoke, re, or the the battery may rup-

ture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery performance. R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery packs with Icom radios. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom radios. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs may cause smoke, re, or cause the battery to burst. DD Battery caution R DANGER! 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 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 re. R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas with temperatures above +60C (+140F). 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 re. Excessive temper-

atures may also degrade battery performance or shorten battery life. 5 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 used battery pack since in-

ternal battery gas may cause it to rupture, or may cause an explosion. R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals. This may cause heat generation, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch re. 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 specied in this in-

struction manual. R 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, contact your Icom dealer or dis-

tributor. WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the body that comes into contact with uid from inside the battery. BATTERY CHARGING 2 WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause a re, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture. CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specied tem-

perature range for the transceiver (10C to +60C; +14F to +140F) and the battery itself (20C to +60C; 4F to

+140F). Using the battery out of its specied temperature range will reduce the batterys performance and battery life. Please note that the specied temperature range of the bat-

tery may exceed that of the transceiver. In such cases, the transceiver may not work properly because it is out of its op-

erating temperature range. CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above +50C; +122F) for an ex-

tended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharg-

ing. You may use the battery until the battery indicator shows half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature between 20C to +20C (4F to

+68F). DD Charging caution R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with extremely high temperatures, such as near res or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such envi-

ronments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will acti-

vate, causing the battery to stop charging. WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the bat-

tery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the battery is not completely charged by the specied time, stop charging and remove the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specied time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may ruprute. WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery attached to the transceiver) into the charger if it is wet or soiled. This could corrode the battery charger terminals or damage the charger.
