R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery pack to rain, snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Never charge or use a wet battery pack. If the battery pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using.

R DANGER! KEEP the battery pack away from ﬁre. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of an used battery pack in accordance with local regulations.

R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery pack terminals, or modify the battery pack. This may generate heat in the battery, and the battery pack may burst, emit smoke or catch ﬁre.

R DANGER! Use the battery pack only with the transceiver 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.

R DANGER! If ﬂuid from inside the battery pack gets in your eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.

R WARNING! Immediately stop using 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.

R WARNING ! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the body that comes into contact with ﬂuid from inside the battery pack.

R 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 to rupture.

CAUTION: Always use the battery within the speciﬁed temperature range, –20˚C to +60˚C (–4˚F to +140˚F). Using the battery pack out of its speciﬁed temperature range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life.

BATTERY CHARGING

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 transceiver after discharging. You may use the battery until the remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature range as below:

–20˚C to +50˚C (–4˚F to +122˚F) (within a month) –20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F) (within three months)

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.

D 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 environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery pack will activate, causing the battery pack to stop charging.

R 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 power adapter before a storm.

R 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.

R WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery pack 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-160 and BC-171 (0˚C to +45˚C: +32˚F to +113˚F). BC-119N and BC121N (+10˚C to +40˚C: +50˚F to +104˚F). Icom recommends charging the battery at +20˚C (+68˚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.
