BATTERY CHARGING
R
WARNING! NEVER
put the battery in a microwave oven,
high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker.
This could cause a fi re, overheating, or cause the battery to
rupture.
CAUTION:
Always use the battery within the specifi ed tem-
perature range, –20˚C to +60˚C. Using the battery out of its
specifi ed temperature range will reduce the battery’s perfor-
mance 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) for an extended pe-
riod 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-ca-
pacity, and then keep it safely in a cool dry place at the fol-
lowing temperature range:
–20˚C to +50˚C (up to a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (up to three months)
–20˚C to +20˚C (up to a year)

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 en-
vironments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will ac-
tivate, causing the battery to stop charging.
R
WARNING! DO NOT
charge or leave the battery in the
battery charger beyond the specifi ed time for charging. If the
battery is not completely charged by the specifi ed time, stop
charging and remove the battery from the battery charger.
Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specified time
limit may cause a fi re, overheating, or the battery may rup-
ture.
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-
fi ed temperature range: BC-193 (+10˚C to +40˚C). Icom rec-
ommends charging the battery at +20˚C. The battery may
heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified tempera-
ture range. Additionally, battery performance or battery life
may be reduced.
The supplied battery pack, charger, and AC adapter dif-
fer, or no supplied depending on the version.
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
