Caution
R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery packs with Icom radios or Icom charger. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use and charge with Icom radios or Icom charger. Using third-party or counterfeit bat­tery packs or charger may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.
DD
Battery caution
R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the bat- tery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted 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 packs in areas with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature 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 tempera­tures may also degrade battery performance or shorten bat­tery life.
R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, sea- water, 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. The battery is not waterproof.
R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since internal battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may cause an explosion.
R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals or NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the battery may rupture, emit smoke or catch fire.
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.
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 transceiver (–30˚C to +60˚C; –22˚F to +140˚F) 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.
CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive tem­perature environment (above +45˚C; +113˚F) for an extended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharging. You may use the battery until the battery indicator shows half­capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the tem­perature between –20˚C to +25˚C (–4˚F to +77˚F).
DD
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 car, or in direct sunlight. In such environ­ments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the battery to stop charging.
WARNING! DO NOT 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! DO NOT charge the battery outside of the speci­fied temperature range: BC-160 (0˚C to +45˚C; +32˚F to +113˚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.

(r). And hook the battery cover release hook until it makes a ‘click’ sound (t). (Fig.3)
CAUTION:
• When installing batteries, make sure they are all the same brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old batteries together.
• Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean bat­tery terminals once a week.
•Never incinerate used battery cells since internal battery gas may cause them to rupture.
• Never expose a detached battery case to water. If the bat­tery case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using it.
NOTE: When the optional battery case is attached, the battery type must be selected to “DRY BATT” when turn­ing the transceiver ON. (p. 10)

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only”, meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards.
This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment. This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF expo­sure limits for “Occupational Use Only”. In addition, your Icom radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and eval­uation of such levels for exposure to humans:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.
• The following accessories are authorized for use with this product. Use of accessories other than those specified may result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC require­ments for wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip (MB-94), Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack (BP-230N/BP-232N) and Speaker-microphone (HM-159L/HM-158L).
To ensure that your expose to RF electromag­netic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the fol­lowing guidelines:
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manu­facturer or antenna specifically authorized by the manufac­turer for use with this radio.
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the TX indicator lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.
ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt­clips listed on page 24 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmis­sion the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side.
The information listed above provides the user with the informa­tion needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates with the FCC RF expo­sure limits of this radio.
