Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery performance.R DANGER! NEVER short terminals (or charging ter-minals) of the battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful when placing the battery packs (or the radio) 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 radio.R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the battery pack. Do not use the battery pack if it has been se-verely impacted or dropped, or if it has been subjected to heavy pressure. The damage may not be visible on the out-side of the case. Even if the surface of the battery pack does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside may rupture or catch fire.R DANGER! NEVER use or leave the battery pack in areas with temperatures above +60°C (+140°F). High temperature buildup in the battery pack, such as could oc-cur near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery pack to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade performance or shorten life.R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery pack to rain, snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery pack. If the battery pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using.R DANGER! KEEP the battery pack away from fire. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of a used battery pack in accordance with local regulations.R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery pack terminals, or NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat gen-eration, and the battery pack may burst, emit smoke or catch fire.R DANGER! Use the battery pack only with the radio for which it is specified. Never use a battery pack with any other equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruction manual.R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery pack 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 pack 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 pack.R WARNING! NEVER put the battery pack in a micro-wave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heat-ing cooker. This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery pack to rupture.CAUTION: Always use the battery pack within the speci-fied temperature range, for the radio (–30°C to +60°C: –22°F to +140°F) and the battery pack itself (–20°C to +60°C: –4°F to +140°F). Using the battery pack out of its specified temper-ature range will reduce the performance and the life. Please note that the specified temperature range of the battery pack may exceed that of the radio. In such cases, the radio may not work properly because it is out of its operating tempera-ture range.CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery pack is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an ex-cessive temperature environment (above +50°C: +122°F) for an extended period of time. If the battery pack must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharging. You may use the battery pack until the re-maining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool and dry place at the following temperature range: –20˚C to +50˚C (–4˚F to +122˚F) (within a month) –20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F) (within three months)฀ to replace the battery pack with a new one af-ter five years, even if still holds a charge. The inside battery material will deteriorate after a period of time, even with little use.฀฀R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in ar-eas with extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery pack will activate, causing the battery to stop charging.R WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery pack in the battery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the battery pack is not completely charged by the speci-fied time, stop charging and remove the battery pack from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the battery pack beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery pack may rupture.R WARNING! NEVER insert the radio (the battery pack attached to the radio) 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.NOTE: Charge the battery pack within the specified tem-perature range: BC-160 and BC-171 (0˚C to +45˚C; +32˚F to +113˚F), BC-119N and BC-121N (+10˚C to +40˚C; +50˚F to +104˚F). Otherwise, the charging time will be longer, but the battery pack will not reach a full charge. While charging, at a point after the temperature goes out of the specified range, the charging will automatically stop.฀฀R DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack.R 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 to be charged by Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery packs to burst.R WARNING! NEVER hold the radio that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, es-pecially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The radio will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the radio is vertical.R WARNING! NEVER operate the radio with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing ex-perts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.R WARNING! NEVER operate the radio while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less may result in an accident.CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna, battery pack and jack cover are securely attached to the radio, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the radio to dust or water will result in serious damage to the radio.DO NOT operate the radio near unshielded electrical blast-ing caps or in an explosive atmosphere.DO NOT push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to transmit.DO NOT use or place the radio in direct sunlight or in plac-es with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F). The basic operations of the radio are guaranteed within the specified operating temperature range. However, the Liquid Crystal Display may not operate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.DO NOT modify the radio. The specifications may change and then not comply with the requirements of a corresponded regulation. The radio warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the radio surfaces.฀ The radio will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods of time.฀  The radio meets IP67 requirements for dust-tight and waterproof protection. However, once the radio has been dropped, dust-tight and waterproof protection can-not be guaranteed because of possible damage to the radio’s case or the waterproof seal.Even when the radio power is OFF, a slight current still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack from the radio when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed battery pack will become exhausted, and will need to be recharged or replaced. MAKE SURE to turn the radio power OFF before connect-ing the supplied or optional equipment.EXPLICIT DEFINITIONSPRECAUTIONSPRECAUTIONS (Continued)The GPS receiver may not work if the radio transmits near the 510 MHz.
