BATTERY CHARGING
■ Caution (continued)
CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specifi ed
temperature range, –20˚C to +60˚C (–4˚F to +140˚F).
Using the battery out of its specifi ed 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 ex-
cessive temperature environment (above +50˚C; +122˚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 bat-
tery icon shows half-capacity, and then keep it safely in a
cool dry place at the following temperature range:
–20˚C to +50˚C (–4˚F to +122˚F) (up to a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F) (up to three months)
–20˚C to +20˚C (–4˚F to +68˚F) (up to a year)

D Charging caution

R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas
with extremely high temperatures, such as near fi res
or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sun-
light. In such environments, the safety/protection circuit
in the battery will activate, causing the battery to stop
charging.
R WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in
the battery charger beyond the specifi ed time for charg-
ing. If the battery is not completely charged by the spec-
ifi ed time, stop charging and remove the battery from
the battery charger. Continuing to charge the battery
beyond the specifi ed time limit may cause a fi re, over-
heating, or the battery may rupture.
R 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
specifi ed temperature range: BC-193 (+10˚C to +40˚C;
+50˚F to +104˚F). Icom recommends charging the bat-
tery at +20˚C (+68˚F). The battery may heat up or rup-
ture if charged out of the specifi ed temperature range.
Additionally, battery performance or battery life may be
reduced.
The supplied battery pack, charger, and AC adapter dif-
fer, or are not supplied, depending on the version.
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the bat-
tery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and
operation.
