Charging caution

R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with ex-

tremely 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 bat-

tery to stop charging.

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 re-

move the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the

battery beyond the speciﬁed time limit may cause a ﬁre, overheat-

ing, or the battery may rupture.

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.

CAUTION! DO NOT charge the battery outside of the specified

temperature range: BC-160 and BC-171 (0˚C to +45˚C). Icom rec-

ommends charging the battery at +20˚C. The battery may heat up

or rupture if charged out of the speciﬁed temperature range. Addi-

tionally, battery performance or battery life may be reduced.
