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 packs 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.
23
BATTERY CHARGING
R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs, since internal
battery gas may cause them 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 rupture, 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.
R 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.
R WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of
the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the battery.
10
11
12
R WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven, highpressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could
cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture.

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 remaining capacity is about half,
then keep it safely in a cool dry place within the temperature range
as shown below:
–20˚C to +50˚C (–4˚F to +122˚F)
(up to a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F)
(up to three months)
–20˚C to +20˚C (–4˚F to +68˚F)
(up to a year)
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.
R 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.
R 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.
25
CAUTION! DO NOT charge the battery outside of the specified
temperature range: BC-193 (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.
BATTERY CHARGING
■ Caution (for the BP-264 ni-mh battery)
•C
 AUTION! 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.
• NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may
cause an explosion.
• 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.
• Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or misscontact.
• Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean battery 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. 32)
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 +40°C (rapid charge: with BP-191) or
between 0°C and +45°C (regular charge: with BP-192)
• Use the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-191 for rapid
charging, BC-192 for regular charging) only. NEVER use other
manufacturers’ chargers.

BATTERY CHARGING
The battery pack contains a rechargable 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.
D Battery pack life
When the operating time becomes extremely short, even after
charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is needed.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
•D
 O NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as
this may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC
RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with
this radio by the manufacturer or antenna specifically authorized by
the manufacturer for use with this radio.
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50%
duty cycle”). “50% duty cycle” is also applicable to VOX/PTT mode.
Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “LED indicator” lights red. You can cause the radio
to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch or VOX function.
• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the
body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt-clip which is
listed on page 33 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded.
To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and
slightly off to one side.
The information listed above provides the user with the information
needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can
possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such
interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so.
DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
Occupational/Controlled Use
The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposed as
consequence of their employment provided those persons are fully aware
of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.
