PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING! NEVER use or charge Icom battery packs
with non-Icom transceivers or non-Icom chargers. Only
Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with
Icom transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using
third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may
cause smoke, re, or cause the battery to burst.
R WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the
antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the
body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
The continuous high volume operation may cause a
ringing in your ears. If you experience the ringing, reduce
the volume level or discontinue use.
CAUTION: DO NOT 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 transceiver) 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 transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine
or alcohol when cleaning. This could damage the
equipment surfaces. If the surface becomes dusty or dirty,
wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in
excessively dusty environments. This could damage the
transceiver.

171GPW, HS-94LWP, or HS-95LWP is attached.
D Battery caution
Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following
hazards: smoke, re, or the battery may rupture. Misuse
can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of
battery performance.
R 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 re.
R 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 res 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 re. Excessive
temperatures may also degrade the battery pack’s
performance or shorten the battery cell’s life.
R D
ANGER! 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 re.
R DANGER! NEVER place battery packs near a re.
Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode.
Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with local
regulations.
R DANGER! NEVER let uid from inside the battery get in
your eyes. This can cause blindness. Rinse your eyes with
clean water, without rubbing them, and immediately get
medical treatment from an eye doctor.
R WARNING! NEVER put the battery pack in a microwave
oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating
cooker. This could cause a re, overheating, or cause the
battery cells to rupture.
R WARNING! NEVER Iet uid from inside the battery cells
come in contact with your body. If it does, immediately
wash with clean water.
CAUTION: DO NOT continue to 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
Icom dealer or distributor.
CAUTION: DO NOT expose the battery pack to rain,
snow, saltwater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use
a wet pack. If the pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it with a
clean dry cloth before using.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery pack out of the
specied temperature range for the transceiver –25°C ~
+55°C (–13°F ~ +131°F): ETS version, –30°C ~ +60°C
(–22°F ~ +140°F): TIA version, and the battery itself –20°C
~ +60°C (–4°F ~ +140°F). Using the battery out of its
specied temperature range will reduce its performance
and battery cell’s life. Please note that the specied
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: DO NOT leave the pack 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 ve years after manufacturing, even if it still
holds a charge. The material inside the battery cells will
become weak after a period of time, even with little use.
The estimated number of times you can charge the pack
is between 300 and 500. Even when the pack appears to
be fully charged, the operating time of the transceiver may
become short when:
• Approximately 5 years have passed since the pack was
manufactured.
• The pack has been repeatedly charged.
D Charging caution
R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas
with extremely high temperatures, such as near res 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.
R WARNING! NEVER charge the transceiver during a
lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause
a re or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the
power adapter before a storm.
R WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery in the
battery charger beyond the specied time for charging. If
the battery is not completely charged by the specied time,
stop charging and remove the battery from the battery
charger.
Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specied time
limit may cause a re, overheating, or the battery may
rupture.
CAUTION: DO NOT 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 pack outside of the
specied temperature range: 10˚C to 40˚C (50˚F to 104˚F).
Icom recommends charging the pack at 25˚C (77˚F). The
pack may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specied
temperature range. Additionally, pack’s performance or
battery cell life may be reduced.
IMPORTANT
This instruction sheet includes some functions that are
usable only when they are preset by your dealer. The
transceiver may have other functions and operations that
are not described in this instruction sheet. Ask your dealer
for preset function details.
