Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery performance.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 fi re.R DANGER! NEVER leave battery pack in places with temperatures above +60°C (+140°F). High temperature buildup in the battery, such as could occur near fi res or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause the battery to rupture or catch fi re. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery performance or shorten battery life.R DANGER! DO NOT strike or otherwise impact the battery. 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 fi re.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.R DANGER! KEEP battery packs away from fi re. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with local regulations.R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for which it is specifi ed. Never use a battery with any other equipment, or for any purpose that is not specifi ed in this instruction manual.R DANGER! If fl uid from inside the battery gets in your eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and go to a doctor immediately.R WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause a fi re, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture.R WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emitsan abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. Ifany of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer ordistributor.R WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the body that comes into contact with fl uid from inside the battery.CAUTION: Always use the battery pack within the specifi ed temperature range, for the transceiver, (–30°C ~ +60°C (–22°F ~ +140°F)), and the battery pack itself (–20°C ~+60°C (–4°F ~ +140°F)). Using the battery out of its specifi ed temperature range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life. Please note that the specifi ed temperature range of the battery may exceed that of the transceiver. In such cases, the transceiver may not work properly because it is out of its operating temperature range.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 pack must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the transceiver after discharging. You may use the battery pack until the remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool and dry place at the following temperature range: –20°C ~ +50°C (–4°F ~ +122°F) (within a month) –20°C ~ +40°C (–4°F ~ +104°F) (within three months) –20°C ~ +20°C (–4°F ~ +68°F) (within a year)BE SURE to replace the battery pack with a new one approximately fi ve years after manufacturing, even if it still holds a charge. The inside battery material will become weak after a period of time, even with little use. The estimated number of times you can charge the battery is between 300 and 500. Even when the battery appears to be fully charged, the operating time of the transceiver may become short when: • Approximately fi ve years have passed since the battery was manufactured. • The battery has been repeatedly charged. DCharging cautionR DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with extremely high temperatures, such as near fi res or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the battery to stop charging.R WARNING! NEVER charge the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fi re or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power adapter before a storm.R WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery in the battery charger beyond the specifi ed time for charging. If the battery is not completely charged by the specifi ed time, stop charging and remove the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specifi ed time limit may cause a fi re, 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.NOTE: Charge the battery pack within the specifi ed temperature range: BC-214 and BC-219 (+16˚C ~ +40˚C (+60.8˚F ~ +104˚F)). Otherwise, the charging time will be longer, but the battery will not reach a full charge. While charging, at a point after the temperature goes out of the specifi ed range, the charging will automatically stop.PRECAUTIONS (continued)SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATIONWARNINGYour Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy while transmitting.
