READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely

before using this product.

■ Battery pack cautions

DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery

pack.

Shorting may occur if the terminals touch metal objects

such as a key, so be careful when placing the battery

packs (or the communication terminal) in bags, and so

on. Carry them so that shorting cannot occur with metal

objects. Shorting may damage not only the battery pack,

but also the communication terminal.

DANGER! NEVER Use and charge only specified Icom

battery packs with Icom communication terminals or Icom

chargers. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved

for use with Icom communication terminals or charged

with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery

packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the

battery to burst.

Battery cautions

Misuse of Li-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.

DANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise impact the battery.

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 fire.

DANGER! NEVER leave battery pack in places with

temperatures above +60°C (+140°F). 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 fire. Excessive

temperatures may also degrade battery performance or

shorten battery life.

DANGER! NEVER expose the battery pack to rain,

snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use

a wet battery pack. If the battery pack gets wet, be sure to

wipe it dry before using.

DANGER! NEVER incinerate a used battery pack since

internal battery gas may cause it to rupture, or may cause

an explosion.

DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or

NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat

generation, and the battery pack may burst, emit smoke or

catch fire.

DANGER! Use the battery pack only with the

communication terminal for which it is specified. Never

use a battery pack with any other equipment, or for any

purpose that is not specified in this instruction manual.

DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in

your eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with

clean water, without rubbing them, and go to 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

distributor.

WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any

part of the body that comes into contact with fluid from

inside the battery.

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 pack to rupture.

CAUTION: Always use the battery pack within the specified

temperature range, –10°C to +60°C (+14°F to +140°F).

Using the battery pack out of its specified temperature

range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life.

CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery

pack is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in

an excessive temperature environment (above +50°C,

+122°F) for an extended period of time. If the battery pack

must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached

from the terminal after discharging. You may use the

battery pack until the battery indicator shows half capacity,

then keep it safely in a cool and dry place at the following

temperature range:

–20°C (–4°F) to +50°C (+122°F) (within a month)

–20°C (–4°F) to +35°C (+95°F)

(within three months)

–20°C (–4°F) to +20°C (+68°F)

(within a year)

BE SURE

to replace the battery pack with a new one after

five years after manufacturing, even if still holds a charge.

The material inside the battery will deteriorate after a

period of time, even with little use. The estimated number

of times you can charge the battery is between 300 and

500. Even when the battery appears to be fully charged,

the operating time of the communication terminal may

become short when:

• Approximately five years have passed since the battery

was manufactured.

• The battery has been repeatedly charged.

Charging caution

DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas

with extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or

stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight.

In such environments, the safety/protection circuit in the

battery pack will activate, causing the battery pack to stop

charging.

WARNING! NEVER charge the communication terminal

during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock,

cause a fire or damage the communication terminal. Always

disconnect the power adapter before a storm.

WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery pack in

the battery charger beyond the specified time for charging.

If the battery pack is not completely charged by the

specified time, stop charging and remove the battery pack

from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the battery

pack beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire,

overheating, or the battery pack may rupture.

WARNING! NEVER insert the communication terminal

(battery attached to the communication terminal) 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: NEVER charge the battery outside of the

specified temperature range:
+10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F)

Icom recommends charging the battery at +25°C (+77°F).

The battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of

the specified temperature range. Additionally, battery

performance or battery life may be reduced.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

This device was tested and approved with original

accessories to ensure FCC Compliance. The use of third-

party accessories may not comply with FCC RF exposure
