NEVER short terminals (or charging termi-nals) of the battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful when plac-ing battery packs (or the radio) in handbags, etc.Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a necklace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not only the battery pack, but also the radio.R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the bat-tery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impact-ed 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.R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas with temperatures above +60°C (+140°F). High tempera-ture 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 tem-peratures may also degrade battery performance or short-en 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! KEEP battery packs away from fire. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with local regulations.R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or NEV-ER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat genera-tion, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fire.R DANGER! Use the battery only with the radio 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 wa-ter, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.R 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.R WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the body that comes into contact with fluid from in-side the battery.R WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture.CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified temperature range, for the radio –25°C to +55°C (–13°F to +131°F): ETS version, –30°C to +60°C (–22°F to +140°F): TIA version, and the battery itself –20°C to +60°C (–4°F to +140°F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life. Please note that the specified temperature range of the bat-tery may exceed that of the radio. In such cases, the radio may not work properly because it is out of its operating tem-perature range.CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above +50°C; +122°F) for an ex-tended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharg-ing. You may use the battery until the remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place at the fol-lowing temperature range: –20°C (–4°F) to +50°C (+122°F) (within a month) –20°C (–4°F) to +40°C (+104°F) (within three months) –20°C (–4°F) to +20°C (+68°F) (within a year)BE SURE to replace the battery with a new one after five years, even if still holds a charge. The inside battery material will deteriorate after a period of time, even with little use.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 vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such en-vironments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the battery to stop charging.R WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery in the battery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the battery is not completely charged by the specified time, stop charging and remove the battery from the battery char-ger. Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rupture.R WARNING! NEVER insert the radio (battery attached to the radio) into the charger if it is wet or soiled. This could cor-rode the battery charger terminals or damage the charger. The charger is not waterproof.NOTE: Charge the battery within the specified temperature range of +10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F). Otherwise, the charging time will be longer, but the battery will not reach a full charge. While charging, at a point after the temperature goes out of the specified range, the charging will automati-cally stop.PRECAUTIONS (Continued)Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following haz-ards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of bat-tery performance.PRECAUTIONSR DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack.R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery packs with Icom radios or Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom radios or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.R WARNING! NEVER hold the radio that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, es-pecially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The radio will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the radio is vertical.R WARNING! NEVER operate the radio with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing ex-perts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.R WARNING! NEVER operate the radio while driving a ve-hicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less may result in an accident.CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna, battery pack and jack cover are securely attached to the radio, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Ex-posing the inside of the radio to dust or water will result in se-rious damage to the radio.DO NOT operate the radio near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.DO NOT push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to transmit.DO NOT use or place the radio in direct sunlight or in ar-eas with temperatures below –25°C (–13°F) or above +55°C (+131°F): ETS version, below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F): TIA version. The basic operations, transmission and reception of the radio are guaranteed within the specified operating temperature range. However, the LCD display may not be operate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of operation, or after being placed in extreme-ly cold areas.DO NOT modify the radio. The specifications may change and then not comply with the requirements of a correspond-ed regulation. The radio warranty does not cover any prob-lems caused by unauthorized modification.DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the radio surfaces.BE CAREFUL! The radio will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods of time.BE CAREFUL! The radio meets IP67* requirements for dust-tight and waterproof protection. However, once the radio has been dropped, dust-tight and waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the radio’s case or the waterproof seal.* Only when the jack cover or the optional HM-168LWP is at-tached.Even when the radio power is OFF, a slight current still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack from the radio when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed battery pack will become exhausted, and will need to be recharged or replaced. MAKE SURE to turn the radio power OFF before connecting the supplied or optional equipment.
