• 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 in-
side 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 tem-
perature range for the transceiver (–25˚C to +55˚C) and the
battery itself (–20˚C to +60˚C). Using the battery out of its
specified temperature range will reduce the battery's perfor-
mance and battery life. Please note that the specified temper-
ature range of the battery may exceed that of the transceiver.
In such cases, the transceiver may not work properly be-
cause it is out of its operating temperature range.
• CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is
left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive
temperature environment (above +50˚C) 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 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
(within a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C
(within three months)
BATTERY CHARGING
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 car, or in direct sunlight. In such en-
vironments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will
activate, causing the battery to stop charging.
• R WARNING! NEVER 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 char-
ger. Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specified
time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may
rupture.
• R WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery at-
tached 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 speci-
fied temperature range: BC-160 and BC-171 (0˚C to +45˚C),
BC-119 and BC-121 (+10˚C to +40˚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, battery performance or battery life may be re-
duced.
