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
distributor.
•
WARNING!
Immediately wash, using clean water, any part
of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside
the battery.
•
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 (–30˚C to +60˚C; –22˚F
to +140˚F) and the battery itself (–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 ex-
cessive temperature environment (above +50˚C; +122˚F)
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 remain-
ing capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool dry
place with the temperature range as below:
–20˚C to +50˚C (–4˚F to +122˚F) (within a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F) (within three months)
–20˚C to +20˚C (–4˚F to +68˚F) (within a year)

DANGER! 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 en-
vironments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will
activate, causing the battery to stop charging.
•
WARNING! NEVER
charge or leave the battery in the bat-
tery 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
charger. Continuing to charge the battery beyond the speci-
fied time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery
may rupture.
•
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! NEVER
charge the battery outside of the speci-
fied temperature range: BC-160 (0˚C to +40˚C; +32˚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
performance or battery life may be reduced.
