PRECAUTIONS

  • DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Shorting may occur if the terminals touch metal objects such as a key, so be careful when placing the battery packs (or the transceiver) in bags, and so on. Carry them so that shorting cannot occur with metal objects. Shorting may damage not only the battery pack, but also the transceiver.
  • DANGER! NEVER use or charge Icom battery packs with non-Icom transceivers or non-Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.
  • DANGER! NEVER operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
  • WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. The continuous high volume operation may cause a ringing in your ears. If you experience the ringing, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.
  • WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention — anything less could result in an accident.
  • CAUTION: DO NOT modify the transceiver. The specifications may change and then the transceiver may not comply with the requirements of required regulations. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.
  • CAUTION: DO NOT carry the transceiver by holding the antenna.
  • CAUTION: DO NOT operate unless the flexible antenna, battery pack are securely attached to the transceiver. Confirm that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attaching. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to dust or water can cause serious damage to the transceiver.
  • DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in direct sunlight or in places with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F). The basic operations of the transceiver 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.
  • CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning. This could damage the equipment surfaces. If the surface becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
  • CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver if it becomes hot after continuously transmitting for long periods of time. This may damage the transceiver.
  • NEVER place the transceiver in an insecure place to avoid inadvertent use by unauthorized persons.
  • BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets IP67 requirements for dust-tight and waterproof protection. However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dust-tight and waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceiver’s case or the waterproof seal. Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack from the transceiver 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 OFF the transceiver power before connecting the supplied or optional equipment.
Battery Caution
  • 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 fire.
  • DANGER! NEVER place or leave battery packs in areas with temperatures above 60°C (140°F). High temperature buildup in the battery cells, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause the battery cells to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade the battery pack’s performance or shorten the battery cell’s life.
  • DANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise impact the battery pack. Do not use the battery pack if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the pack has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery pack 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 fire.
  • DANGER! NEVER expose the battery pack to rain, snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet pack. If the pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using.
  • DANGER! NEVER place or leave battery packs near fire. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with local regulations.
  • DANGER! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery get in your eyes. This can cause blindness. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and immediately go to a doctor.
  • WARNING! NEVER put the battery pack in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery cells to rupture.
  • WARNING! NEVER use 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.
  • WARNING! NEVER use deteriorated battery packs.
  • They could cause a fire.
  • WARNING! NEVER Iet fluid from inside the battery cells come in contact with your body. If it does, immediately wash with clean water.
  • CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery pack out of the specified temperature range for the transceiver (–30°C +60°C (–22°F ~ +140°F)) and the battery itself (–20°C +60°C (–4°F ~ +140°F)). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce its performance and battery cell’s life. Please note that the specified temperature range of the battery may exceed that of the 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 five 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 five years have passed since the battery was manufactured.
  • The battery has been repeatedly
Charging Caution
  • DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas 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 will activate, causing the battery to stop charging.
  • WARNING! NEVER charge the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power adapter before a storm.
  • WARNING! NEVER 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.
  • WARNING! Occasionally observe the battery pack condition while charging. If any abnormal condition occurs, discontinue using the battery pack.
  • 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: NEVER charge the battery outside of the specified temperature range: BC-214 and BC-219N (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 specified range, the charging will automatically stop.
