BATTERY CHARGING

■ Caution

NOTE: Misuse of Lithium-ion batteries may result in
the following hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may
rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or
degradation of battery performance.
D Battery caution
R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or NEVER
modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and
the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fire.
R DANGER! NEVER place or leave battery packs in areas
with temperatures above 60°C. High temperature buildup in
the battery cells, such as could occur near fires or stoves,
inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight for long
periods of time may cause the battery cells to rupture or
catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade the
battery pack's performance or shorten the battery cell's life.
R DANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise impact the battery
pack. Do not use the battery pack if it has been severely
impacted or dropped, or if the pack has been subjected to
heavy pressure. Battery pack 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.
R DANGER! NEVER place battery packs near a fire. Fire
or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of
used battery packs in accordance with local regulations.

R DANGER! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery get
in your eyes. This can cause blindness. Rinse your eyes
with clean water, without rubbing them, and immediately get
medical treatment from an eye doctor.
R WARNING! NEVER put the battery pack in a microwave
oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating
cooker. This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the
battery cells to rupture.
R WARNING! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery cells
come in contact with your body. If it does, immediately wash
with clean water.
CAUTION: DO NOT continue to use the battery pack if
it emits an abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or
deformed. If any of these conditions occur, contact your
Icom dealer or distributor.
R WARNING! NEVER use deteriorated battery packs.
They could cause a fire.
CAUTION: DO NOT expose the battery pack to rain, snow,
saltwater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet
pack. If the pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it with a clean dry
cloth before using.
