■ Battery cautions
D
For the BP-264 Ni-MH battery
R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal bat-
tery gas may cause an explosion.
R DANGER! NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the
battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE at-
taching it to the transceiver.
CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified temperature range, –5˚C to +60˚C (+23˚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
completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above +55˚C; +131˚F) for an extended period of time. If the
battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached
from the transceiver after charging. Keep it safely in a cool dry
place at the following temperature range:
–20˚C to +45˚C (–4˚F to +113˚F) (up to a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F) (up to six months)
–20˚C to +25˚C (–4˚F to +77˚F) (up to a year*)
* We recommend charging the battery pack every 6 months.
Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or bad contact.
Keep battery terminals clean. It’s a good idea to occasionally
clean them.
If your Ni-MH battery pack seems to have no capacity, even after
being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON
overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the battery
pack still does not retain a charge (or only very lit
battery pack must be purchased.
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack
must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
between +10°C and +40°C (+50˚F to +104˚F) (rapid charge: with
BC-191) or between 0°C and +45°C (+32˚F to +113˚F) (regular
charge: with BC-192)
• Use only the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-191 for rapid
charging, BC-192 for regular charging). NEVER use other manufacturers’ chargers.
The battery pack contains a rechargeable battery.
Charge the battery pack before first operating the transceiver, or
when the battery pack becomes exhausted.
If you want to prolong the battery life, the following points should
be observed:
• Avoid over charging. The charging time period should be less than
48 hours.
• Use the battery pack until it becomes almost completely exhausted,
under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging just
when transmitting becomes impossible.

D For the BP-265 Li-ion battery
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’s performance.
R DANGER! DO NOT hit or otherwise impact the battery. 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 pack in areas with tem-
peratures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature buildup in
the battery, 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 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, seawater,
or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery. If the bat
tery 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 an used batterypack
according to local ordinances and/or regulations.

DO NOT modify the transceiver. The specifications may change
and then not comply with the requirements of a corresponded
-
regulation. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.
KEEP
it in the water. The transceiver meets IP54* requirements for
dust-protection and splash resistance. However, once the trans
ceiver has been dropped, dust-protection and splash resistance
cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the trans
ceiver’s case or the waterproof seal.
* Only when the battery pack or case, antenna and jack cover
are attached.
MAKE SURE to turn OFF the transceiver before connecting or
disconnecting the supplied or optional accessory.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still
flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from the
transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the battery pack or installed dry cell batteries will become exhausted.
Icom is not responsible for the destruction or damage to the Icom
transceiver, if the malfunction is because of:
• Force majeure, including, but not limited to, res, earthquakes,
• The use of Icom transceiver with any equipment that is not manu-
R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or modify the
battery pack. This may generate heat in the battery, and the bat
tery pack may burst, 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 the 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.
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 inside 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 tempera-
ture range, –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:
