BATTERY CHARGING
■ Caution (for the BP-265 Li-Ion battery) (Continued)
CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified tem-
perature range, –20˚C to +60˚C. Using the battery out of its
specified temperature range will reduce the battery's perfor-
mance and battery life.
CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left
fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive tem-
perature 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 battery icon shows half-capacity, and
then keep it safely in a cool dry place at the following temper-
ature range:
–20˚C to +50˚C (up to a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (up to three months)
–20˚C to +20˚C (up to a year)

D Charging caution

R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with
extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, in-
side a sun-heated vehicle, 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! 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 rup-
ture.
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: DO NOT charge the battery outside of the speci-
fied temperature range: BC-193 (+10˚C to +40˚C). Icom rec-
ommends charging the battery at +20˚C. The battery may
heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified tempera-
ture range. Additionally, battery performance or battery life
may be reduced.
The supplied battery pack, charger, and AC adapter differ,
or no supplied depending on the version.
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
