BATTERY CHARGING
WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an
abnormal odour, heats up, or is discoloured 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 fl uid from inside the
battery.
WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven,
high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker.
This could cause overheating, a fi re, or cause the battery to
rupture.
CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specific tem-
perature range for the transceiver (–15˚C to +55˚C) and the
battery itself (–20˚C to +60˚C). Using the battery out of its
specifi c temperature range will reduce the battery’s perform-
ance and battery life.
CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is
left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive
temperature environment (above +50˚C) for an extended
period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long
time, it must be detached 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 tempera-
ture range as below;
–20˚C to +50˚C
(within a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C
(within three months)
–20˚C to +20˚C
(within a year)
D Charging caution
R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with
extremely high temperatures, such as near fires 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 specific time for charging. If the
battery is not completely charged by the specifi c time, stop
charging and remove the battery from the battery charger.
Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specific time
limit may cause a fi re, overheating, or the battery may rup-
ture.
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. The charger is not waterproof.
CAUTION! DO NOT charge the battery outside of the spe-
cific temperature range: ±0˚C to +40˚C. Icom recommends
charging the battery at +20˚C. The battery may heat up or
rupture if charged out of the specific temperature range.
Additionally, battery performance or battery life may be re-
duced.
