■ Caution
•  R DANGER! Use and charge only specifi ed 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, fi re, or cause 
the battery to burst.
D Battery caution
•  R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the 
battery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely im-
pacted 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 fi re.
•  R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas 
with temperatures above +60˚C. High temperature buildup 
in the battery, such as could occur near fi res or stoves, in-
side 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.
•  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.
•  R DANGER! NEVER incinerate a used battery pack since 
internal battery gas may cause it to rupture, or may cause 
an explosion.
•  R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or 
NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat gen-
eration, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch 
fi 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 specified in this 
instruction 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 
distributor.
•  WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part 
of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside 
the battery.
Misuse of Lithium-Ion batteries may result in the fol-
lowing hazards: smoke, fi re, or the battery may rupture. 
Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degra-
dation of battery performance.
