BATTERY CHARGING
■ Caution
Misuse of Lithium-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.
• R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery
packs with Icom radios. Only Icom battery packs are tested
and approved for use with Icom radios. Using third-party or
counterfeit battery packs may cause smoke, fire, or cause
the battery to burst.
D Battery caution
• R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the battery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted
or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy
pressure. Battery 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.
• R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas
with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature
buildup in the battery, such as could occur near fires or
stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may
cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery performance or shorten
battery life.
• R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow,
seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet
battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before
using. The battery is not waterproof.
• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery pack since internal battery gas may cause it to rupture, or may cause an
explosion.
• R DANGER! 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.
• R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for
which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other
equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruction manual.
• R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your
eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean
water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.
• 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.
BATTERY CHARGING
• 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 temperature 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
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 battery indicator
shows half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place
with the temperature between –20˚C to +20˚C (–4˚F to
+68˚F).
D 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 environments, 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 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.
• 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 specified temperature range: 0˚C to +35˚C (+32˚F to +95˚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.

• Charging period: 2.5 hours (with BP-217)
D Charging note
• Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF.
Detach the battery pack from the transceiver then charge
the battery pack itself, or charge the battery with regular
charging when the transceiver power cannot be turned OFF.
Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged (charging indicator on the BC-139 blinks orange).
• The desktop charger, BC-139, can only be charged BP-217,
other types of rechargeable battery, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH, cannot
be charged.
• If the charging indicator blinks orange, there may be a problem with the battery pack (or charger). Reinsert the battery
pack or contact your dealer.

BATTERY CHARGING
■ Optional battery case
➥ Install 2 R6 (AA) size alkaline batteries into the optional BP-216 BATTERY
CASE.
• Be sure to observe the correct polarity.
■ Battery information
D Battery life
The transceiver is operatable with the BP-217 as follows.
However, half a hour becomes shorter when DV mode is operated.
• VHF band : Approx. 5 hours
• UHF band : Approx. 4.5 hours
(Tx: Rx: Stand-by=1: 1: 8)
A built-in step-up convertor in the BP-216 increases the
voltage up to 5 V DC.
Approx. 100 mW of output power transmission is possible
with the BP-216 operation. Also, no transmit output power
selection is available.
Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean battery terminals once a week.
D Battery information
The batteries may seem to have low capacity when used in
low temperatures such as –10°C (+14°F) or below. Keep the
battery case or pack warm in this case.
D Battery replacement
When the batteries become exhausted, the function display
may blink or have a lower contrast. In these cases, replace
all batteries with new, same brand, alkaline batteries.
12
D Battery indicator
The battery indicator, “
,” appears only when the BP-217
is attached to the transceiver.
The battery indicator does not appear when turning power
ON after the charging is completed without disconnecting
the battery charger or external DC power.
Indication
Battery condition
The battery has ample capacity.
The battery is nearing exhaustion. Charging is necessary.

■ External DC power operation
An optional cigarette lighter cable (CP-12L or CP-19R; for 12 V
cigarette lighter socket) or external DC power cable (OPC-254L)
• CP-12L (Optional)
can be used for external power operation.
Transceiver
D Operating note
• Power supply range is between 10.0–16.0 V DC.
NEVER CONNECT OVER 16 V DC directly into [DC IN]
jack of the transceiver.
• BE SURE to use CP-12L,CP-19R or OPC-254L when connecting regulated 12 V DC power supply.
Purchase extra DC-DC converter if connecting the transceiver through optional CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-254L to a
24 V DC power source.
• The voltage of the external power supply must be within
10–16 V DC when using either CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC254L, otherwise, the attached battery pack’s power may be
used for operation.
• Up to 5 W (approx.) of maximum output power is provided
with the external DC power operation, however, when the
supplied voltage exceeds 14 V, the built-in protection circuit
activates to reduce the transmit output power to 0.5 W (approx.).
• Disconnect the cables from the transceiver when not using
it. Otherwise, the vehicle battery will become exhausted.
• The power save function is deactivated automatically during
external DC power operation (more than 10 V DC).

■ About D-STAR system
In the D-STAR system, repeater linking via a 10 GHz band
backbone and internet network (gateway connection) capabilities are available. This system provides you to with much
wider coverage range during digital voice mode operation.
Also, the D-STAR system repeaters are connectable through
the internet network— gateway connection capability.
• D-STAR system outline
Repeater A
For current existing repeater operation, stations that are communicating must be in the same repeater’s operating area.
However, in the D-STAR system as in the illustration at left,
the repeaters can be linked via the system repeaters (with a
10 GHz signal). Thus stations A and B can communicate even
though they are in different repeater operating areas.
10 GHz
Repeater B
440 MHz
440 MHz
Station
Station
For example, when station B uses the gateway connection
station B can communicate with the station C!
By using the gateway connection, long distance communication like DX operation may be possible with 144 or 440 MHz
digital voice!
In the D-STAR system, an independent repeater’s operating
area is called an Area and a group that linking repeaters via a
10 GHz backbone is called a Zone.
