◊ Battery caution
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 solder the battery terminals, or NEVER modify the battery
pack. This may cause heat generation, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or
catch fire.
DANGER! NEVER place or leave battery packs in areas with temperatures
above +60°C (+140°F). High temperature buildup in the battery cells, such as
could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct
sunlight for long periods of time may cause the battery cells to rupture or
catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade the battery pack’s
performance or shorten the battery cell’s life.
DANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise impact the battery pack. Do not use the
battery pack if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the pack has
been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery pack 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 expose the battery pack to rain, snow, seawater, or any
other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet pack. If the pack gets wet, be sure
to wipe it dry before using.
DANGER! NEVER place or leave battery packs near fire. Fire or heat may
cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery packs in accordance
with local regulations.
DANGER! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery get in your eyes. This
can cause blindness. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them,
and immediately go to a doctor.
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 cells to rupture.
WARNING! NEVER use the battery pack if it emits an abnormal odor, heats
up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of these conditions occur, contact
your lcom dealer or distributor.
WARNING! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery cells come in contact
with your body. If it does, immediately wash with clean water.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery pack out of the specified temperature
range for the transceiver (-30°C – +60°C (-22°F – +140°F)) and the battery
itself (-20°C – +60°C (-4°F – +140°F)). Using the battery out of its specified
temperature range will reduce its performance and battery cell’s life. Please
note that the specified temperature range of the battery may exceed that of
the transceiver. In such cases, the transceiver may not work properly because
it is out of its operating temperature 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 extended period of time. If the battery pack
must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the transceiver
after discharging. You may use the battery pack until the remaining capacity
is about half, then keep it safely in a cool and dry place at the following
temperature range:
-20°C – +50°C (-4°F – +122°F) (within a month)
-20°C – +40°C (-4°F – +104°F) (within three months)
-20°C – +20°C (-4°F – +68°F) (within a year)
BE SURE to replace the battery pack with a new one approximately five
years after manufacturing, even if it still holds a charge. The inside battery
material will become weak 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
transceiver 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 will activate, causing the battery to stop charging.
WARNING! NEVER charge the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may
result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always
disconnect the poweradapter before a storm.
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
charger. Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specified time limit may
cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rupture.
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: NEVER charge the battery outside of the specified temperature
range: BC-214 and BC-219N (+16°C – +40°C (+60.8°F – +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 automatically stop. lcom is not responsible for the
destruction, damage to, or performance of any I com or non-I com equipment, if
the malfunction is because of:
- Force majeure, including, but not limited to, fires, earthquakes, storms, floods, lightning, other natural disasters, disturbances, riots, war, or radioactive contamination.
- The use of lcom transceivers with any equipment that is not manufactured or approved by lcom.
