BATTERY CHARGING
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 sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the
safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the bat-
tery 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 re-
move the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the
battery beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheat-
ing, or the battery may rupture.
R WARNING! Occasionally observe the battery pack condition
while charging. If any abnormal condition occurs, discontinue using
the battery pack.
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 specified
temperature range: BC-193 (+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, bat-
tery performance or battery life may be reduced.
