D Charging Caution - Icom IC-T70A Instruction Manual

• 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, –20˚C to +60˚C (–4˚F to +140˚F). Using the
battery out of its specified 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 excessive
temperature environment (above +50˚C; +122˚F) for an ex-
tended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a
long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharg-
ing. You may use the battery until the remaining capacity is
about half, 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)
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 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 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: DO NOT charge the battery outside of the speci-
fied temperature range: BC-193 (+10˚C to +40˚C; +50˚F to
+104˚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 per-
formance or battery life may be reduced.
