PRECAUTIONS RRDANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Shorting may occur if the terminals touch metal objects such as a key, so be careful when placing the battery packs (or the transceiver) in bags, and so on. Carry them so that shorting cannot occur with metal objects. Shorting may damage not only the battery pack, but also the transceiver. RRDANGER! NEVER use and charge Icom battery packs with non-Icom transceivers or non-Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst. RRWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 2 to 4 in. (5 to 10 cm) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical. RRWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. The continuous high volume operation may cause a ringing in your ears. If you experience the ringing, reduce the volume level or discontinue use. CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention-anything less may result in an accident. CAUTION: DO NOT attach the battery unless the flexible antenna, battery pack and jack cover are securely attached to the transceiver. Confirm that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attaching. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to dust or water can cause serious damage to the transceiver. CAUTION: DO NOT modify the transceiver. The specifications may change and then the transceiver may not comply with the requirements of required regulations. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification. CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below +22°F (-30°C) or above 140°F (60°C). DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning, because they will damage the transceiver surfaces. DO NOT push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to transmit. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods of time. KEEP the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and Never immerse it in the water. The transceiver meets IP55* requirements for dust-protection and water jet resistance. However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dustprotection and water jet resistance cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, etc. * Only when the supplied battery pack, flexible antenna and connector cover are attached. DDBattery caution Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery cells may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery pack or degradation of the pack's performance. RRDANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Shorting may occur if the terminals touch metal objects such as a key, so be careful when placing the packs (or the transceiver) in bags, and so on. Carry them so that shorting cannot occur. Shorting may damage not only the pack, but also the transceiver. RRDANGER! NEVER leave the battery pack in places 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 battery pack's performance or shorten the battery cell's life. RRDANGER! NEVER solder the battery cell's terminals, and NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the battery cells may burst, emit smoke or catch fire. RRDANGER! NEVER expose the battery pack to rain, snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery pack. If the pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. The battery pack itself is not waterproof. RRDANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise impact the battery pack. Do not use the pack if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if it has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface of the pack does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the pack 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 packs in accordance with local regulations. RRDANGER! NEVER use the battery pack with a transceiver for which it is not specified. Never use a pack with any other equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in the transceiver's instruction manual. RRDANGER! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery cells get in your eyes. If it does, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and immediately go to a doctor. RRDANGER! NEVER use and charge Icom battery packs with non-Icom transceivers or non-Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery cells to burst. 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 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. RRWARNING! NEVER use deteriorated battery packs. They could cause a fire. RRWARNING! NEVER Iet fluid from inside the battery cells come in contact with your body. If it does, immediately wash with clean water. CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery pack out of the specified temperature 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 pack out of its specified temperature range will reduce its performance and the battery cell's life. CAUTION: Shorter battery pack life could occur if the pack is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive 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 transceiver after discharging. You may use the battery until the remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place in the following temperature range: -20˚C to +50˚C (-4˚F to +122˚F) (within a month) -20˚C to +40˚C (-4˚F to +104˚F) (within three months) -20˚C to +20˚C (-4˚F to +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 inside battery material will become weak after a period of time, even with little use. The estimated number of times you can charge the battery is between 300 and 500. Even when the battery appears to be fully charged, the operating time of the transceiver may become short when: • Approximately five years have passed since the pack was manufactured. • The battery 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 pack will activate and stop charging. 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. RRWARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery pack 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 it from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the pack beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery cells may rupture. RRWARNING! Occasionally observe the battery pack condition while charging. If any abnormal condition occurs, discontinue using the battery pack. RRWARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (with the battery pack attached) 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 specified 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.
