If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry before attaching it to the transceiver. RRDANGER! NEVER charge the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power adapter before a storm. CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified temperature range for the transceiver -25°C ~ +55°C (-13°F ~ +131°F): IC-F3002 or IC-F4002, -30°C ~ +60°C (-22°F ~ +140°F): other versions, and the battery itself -5°C ~ +65°C (+23°F ~ +140°F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the battery's performance and battery life. Please note that the specified temperature range of the battery may exceed that of the transceiver. 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 completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above 55˚C; 131˚F) for an extended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the transceiver after charging. Keep it safely in a cool dry place at the following temperature range: -20˚C ~ +45˚C (-4°F ~ +113°F) (up to a month) -20˚C ~ +35˚C (-4°F ~ +95°F) (up to 6 months) -20˚C ~ +25˚C (-4°F ~ +77°F) (up to a year*) * We recommend charging the battery pack every 6 months. 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 only very little charge), a new battery pack must be purchased. Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation. ••Recommended temperature range for charging: between 10°C (50°F) and 40°C (104°F) (rapid charge: with BC-191) or between 10°C (50°F) and 45°C (113°F) (regular charge: with BC-192) • U se the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-191 for rapid charging, BC-192 for regular charging) only. NEVER use other manufacturers' chargers. The battery pack contains a rechargeable battery. Charge the battery pack before first operating the transceiver, or when the battery pack becomes exhausted. If you want to prolong the battery life, the following points should be observed: ••Avoid over charging. The charging time period by the BC-192 should be less than 48 hours. ••Use the battery pack until it becomes almost completely exhausted, under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging after transmitting becomes impossible. DDBattery caution for the BP-265 Li-ion BATTERY Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery performance. RRDANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fire. RRDANGER! NEVER place or leave battery packs in areas with temperatures above 60°C (140°F). High temperature buildup in the battery cells, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause the battery cells to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade the battery pack's performance or shorten the battery cell's life. RRDANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise impact the battery pack. Do not use the battery pack if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the pack has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery pack damage may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface of the battery does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may rupture or catch fire. RRDANGER! NEVER place battery packs near a fire. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with local regulations. RRDANGER! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery get in your eyes. This can cause blindness. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and immediately get medical treatment from an eye doctor. RRWARNING! NEVER put the battery pack in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery cells to rupture. RRWARNING! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery cells come in contact with your body. If it does, immediately wash with clean water. CAUTION: DO NOT continue to use the battery pack 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. CAUTION: DO NOT expose the battery pack to rain, snow, saltwater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet pack. If the pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it with a clean dry cloth before using. CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery pack out of the specified temperature range for the transceiver -25°C ~ +55°C (-13°F ~ +131°F): IC-F3002 or IC-F4002, -30°C ~ +60°C (-22°F ~ +140°F): other versions, and the battery itself -20°C ~ +60°C (-4°F ~ +140°F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce its performance and battery cell's life. Please note that the specified temperature range of the battery may exceed that of the transceiver. In such cases, the transceiver may not work properly because it is out of its operating temperature range. CAUTION: DO NOT leave the pack fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above 50°C, 122°F) for an extended period of time. If the battery pack must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the transceiver after discharging. You may use the battery pack until the remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool and dry place at the following temperature range: -20°C ~ +50°C (-4°F ~ +122°F) (within a month) -20°C ~ +35°C (-4°F ~ +95°F) (within three months) -20°C ~ +20°C (-4°F ~ +68°F) (within a year) BE SURE to replace the battery pack with a new one approximately five years after manufacturing, even if it still holds a charge. The material inside the battery cells will become weak after a period of time, even with little use. The estimated number of times you can charge the pack is between 300 and 500. Even when the pack appears to be fully charged, the operating time of the transceiver may become short when: ••Approximately 5 years have passed since the pack was manufactured. ••The pack has been repeatedly charged. DDCharging caution RRDANGER! 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 environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the battery to stop charging. RRWARNING! NEVER charge the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power adapter before a storm. RRWARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery in the battery 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 specified time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rupture. CAUTION: DO NOT 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 pack outside of the specified temperature range: BC-193 (10˚C to 40˚C; 50˚F to 104˚F). Icom recommends charging the pack at 20˚C (68˚F). The pack may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified temperature range. Additionally, pack's performance or battery cell life may be reduced. SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy while transmitting.
