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 vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such
environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery pack
will activate, causing the battery to stop charging.
R WARNING! NEVER charge the transceiver during a
lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fi
re or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power
adapter before a storm.
R WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery pack in
the battery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If
the battery pack is not completely charged by the specified
time, stop charging and remove the battery pack from the
battery charger. Continuing to charge the battery pack beyond
the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the
battery pack may rupture.
R WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (the battery
pack 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
specified temperature range:
• BP-274: 0˚C ~ +40˚C (+32˚F ~ +104˚F)
• BP-227: 0˚C ~ +45˚C (+32˚F ~ +113˚F)
Icom recommends charging the battery at +20°C (+68˚F). The
battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified
temperature range. Additionally, battery performance or
battery life may be reduced.
