Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following haz-
ards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. 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.
