D Charging caution

R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with ex-

tremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside a

sunheated vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the

safety/protection circuit in the pack will activate and stop the charg-

ing.

R DANGER! 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 bat-

tery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the pack is

not completely charged by the specified time, stop charging and re-

move it from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the pack be-

yond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the

battery cells may rupture.

R WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (with the battery pack

attached) 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-152N (+10˚C to +45˚C). Icom recommends

charging the battery at +20˚C. The battery may heat up or rupture

if charged out of the specified temperature range. Additionally, bat-

tery performance or battery life may be reduced.
