PRECAUTIONS

Icom, Icom Inc. and the Icom logo are registered trademarks of Icom Incorporated (Japan) in Japan, 

the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, 

and/or other countries.

Icom is not responsible for the destruction or damage to the Icom product, if the 

malfunction is because of:

•  Force majeure, including, but not limited to, fires, earthquakes, storms, floods, 

lightnings, or other natural disasters, disturbances, riots, war, or radioactive 

contamination.

•  The use of Icom product with any equipment that is not manufactured or approved by 

Icom.

R

DANGER! NEVER charge other than the 

specified Icom Ni-MH or Li-ion batteries. Never 

charge or use an alkaline, dry cell, third-party, 

or counterfeit battery packs or charger adapter. 

Otherwise, a fire and/or explosion may occur.

R

DANGER! NEVER charge the battery packs 

in areas with extremely high temperatures, such 

as near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated vehi-

cle, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, 

the safety/protection circuit in the battery will 

activate, causing the battery to stop charging.

R

DANGER! NEVER place the battery packs 

near a fire. Fire or heat may cause them to 

rupture or explode. Dispose of an used battery 

packing accordance with local regulations.

R

WARNING! NEVER insert the battery packs 

(with/without the transceiver) into the charger if 

it is wet or soiled. This could corrode the battery 

charger terminals or damage the charger. The 

charger is not waterproof.

R

WARNING! NEVER charge the battery packs 

during a lightning storm. It may result in an 

electric shock, cause a fire or damage the bat-

tery pack or transceiver. Always disconnect the 

power adapter before a storm.

CAUTION: DO NOT use the charger with the 

power adapter when it is covered by objects that 

impede heat dispersal.

CAUTION: DO NOT let metal, wire, and so on,  

touch any internal part of the charger.

CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery outside 

of the specified temperature range: 10°C ~ 40°C 

(50°F ~ 104°F). Icom recommends charging the 

battery at 20°C (68°F). The battery may heat up 

or rupture if charged out of the specified temper-

ature range. Additionally, battery performance or 

battery life may be reduced.

USE INDOORS ONLY! NEVER expose the 

charger to rain, snow or any liquids.

DO NOT leave the  Li-ion battery pack in a fully 

charged, or completely discharged condition for 

long time. It causes shorter battery life. In case 

of leaving the battery pack unused for a long 

time, it must be kept safely after discharge, or 

use the battery until the battery level becomes 

middle level.

KEEP the charger away from TV sets or radios 

to prevent interference.

MAKE SURE battery and charger contacts are 

always clean. Otherwise, battery packs may not 

be charged properly.

NOTE: If your battery pack seems to have no 

capacity even after being fully charged, charge 

it again. If it still does not retain a charge (or 

very little), purchase a new battery pack.

The crossed-out wheeled-bin 

symbol on your product, literature, 

or packaging reminds you that in 

the European Union, all electrical 

and electronic products, batteries, 

and accumulators (rechargeable 

batteries) must be taken to desig-

nated collection locations at the 

end of their working life. Do not dispose of 

these products as unsorted municipal waste. 

Dispose of them according to the laws in your 

area.
