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 tem-
perature 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 battery indicator shows half-
capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place at the following
temperature range:
–20˚C (–4˚F) to +50˚C (+122˚F) (within a month).
–20˚C (–4˚F) to +35˚C (+95˚F) (within three months).
–20˚C (–4˚F) to +20˚C (+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 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.

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 charg-
ing 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 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: 0˚C to +40˚C (+32˚F to +104˚F).
Icom recommends charging the battery at +25˚C (+77˚F). The
battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified
temperature range. Additionally, battery performance or bat-
tery life may be reduced.
BE SURE to turn the transceiver power OFF while charg-
ing with the supplied BC-167S

. The battery
pack cannot be charged with the supplied BC-167S when the
transceiver’s power is ON.
