BATTERY CHARGING
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 distrib-
utor.
WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of
the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the bat-
tery.
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) and the
battery itself (–20˚C to +60˚C). Using the battery out of its
specified 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 tem-
perature environment (above +45˚C) 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 capacity becomes about half,
then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature
between –20˚C to +25˚C.

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 car, or in direct sunlight. In such environ-
ments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate,
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
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 rup-
ture.
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! DO NOT charge the battery outside of the speci-
fied temperature range: BC-160 (0˚C to +45˚C). Icom recom-
mends charging the battery at +20˚C. The battery may heat
up or rupture if charged out of the specified temperature
range. Additionally, battery performance or battery life may be
reduced.
