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 distrib- utor.

WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the bat- tery.

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 tem- perature range of the battery may exceed that of the trans- ceiver. In such cases, the transceiver may not work properly because 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 tem- perature environment (above +45˚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 indicator shows half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature between –20˚C to +25˚C.

BATTERY CHARGING 4

DCharging caution

RDANGER! 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 environ-

4

ments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the battery to stop charging.

WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the bat- tery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the bat- tery 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.

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 speci- fied temperature range: BC-160 (0˚C to +45˚C). Icom recom- mends 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 reduced.
