Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful when placing battery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc. Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a necklace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not only the battery pack, but also the transceiver. DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion. DANGER! NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver. CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified temperature range, –5˚C to +60˚C (+23˚F to +140˚F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life. AUTION: 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 radio after charging. Keep it safely in a cool dry place at the following temperature range: –20˚C to +45˚C –20˚C to +35˚C –20˚C to +25˚C (–4˚F to +113˚F) (up to a month) (–4˚F to +95˚F) (up to six months) (–4˚F to +77˚F) (up to a year*) * We recommend charging the battery pack every 6 months. Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or misscontact. eep battery terminals clean. It’s a good idea to clean batK tery terminals once a week. If your Ni-MH 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. (p. 51) 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 and +40°C (rapid charge: with BC-191) or between 0°C and +45°C (regular charge: with BC-192) • Use 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 rechargeble 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 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. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 3 BATTERY CHARGING ■ 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. DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery packs with Icom radios or Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom radios or charged with Icom chargers.
