BATTERY CHARGING
■ Caution (for the BP-264 Ni-MH battery)
 DANGER! NEVER short terminals (or charging terminals)
of the battery pack. 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.

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. Using third-party or counterfeit
battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause
the battery to burst.
D Battery caution
 DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the batR
tery. 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.
 DANGER! NEVER incinerate a 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.
 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.
 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.
 AUTION: Always use the battery within the specified temC
perature 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.
 AUTION: 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, and then keep it safely in a cool dry place at
the following temperature range:
–20˚C to +50˚C
–20˚C to +35˚C
–20˚C to +20˚C
(–4˚F to +122˚F) (up to a month)

SCAN OPERATION
■ Scan types
■ Programmed scan
A scan automatically searches for signals, and makes it
easier to locate new stations for contact or listening purposes.
A programmed scan repeatedly scans between two user
programmed frequencies (memory channels “1A–3A” and
“1b–3b”), or scans between upper and lower band edges.
This scan is useful for checking for signals within a specific
frequency range, such as repeater output frequencies, etc.

NOTE: Scan edge channels, 1A–3A/1b–3b, must be programmed in advance. Program them in the same manner
as regular memory channels. (p. 25)
If identical frequencies are programmed into the scan
edge channels, the programmed scan will not function.
SCAN OPERATION
■ Memory Scan
■ Scan resume setting
A memory scan repeatedly scans memory channels, except
those set as skip channels.
When a signal is received during a scan, the scan resume
setting determines what action the transceiver takes. The
transceiver has 2 scan resume settings, as described below.
Use the Set mode to select the one which best suits your
needs.
q	Push [VFO/MR/CALL] several times to select the memory mode.
• “X” appears.
