14 BATTERY CHARGING

■Battery cautions

NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion.

NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the receiver.

NEVER short terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may ﬂow into nearby metal objects so be careful when placing bat- tery packs in handbags, etc.

If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or very little), a new battery pack must be purchased.

Use Icom battery packs, chargers or cables only. The use of non-Icom products may impair receiver performance and in- validate the warranty.

■Battery charging

Prior to using the receiver for the ﬁrst time, the battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the receiver, turn it OFF while charging.

•Recommended temperature range for charging:

0°C to +35°C; +32°F to +95°F

•Use the wall charger (BC-136A/D*) or optional desktop charger (BC-135 for rapid charging) only. NEVER use an- other manufactures’ charger.

*Not supplied with some versions.

•An optional cable CP-18A/E (for 12 V cigarette lighter socket) can be used in-stead of the AC adapters of the above chargers.

CAUTION: BE SURE to remove the CP-18A/E when charg-

ing is finished, because, a slight current still follows in the CP-18A/E and the vehicle’s battery will become exhausted.

◊Battery pack installation

qRemove the battery cover from the receiver.

wRemove the supplied battery spacer for alkaline battery use.

eInstall the Li-Ion battery pack (BP-206).

•Be sure to observe the correct direction.

•Charge Li-Ion battery pack before use.
