PRECAUTIONS
R 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
communication terminal) 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 communication terminal.
R DANGER!
Use and charge only specified Icom battery
packs with Icom communication terminals or Icom chargers. Only
Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom
communication terminals or charged with Icom chargers. Using
third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause
smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.
R DANGER! NEVER
operate the communication terminal near
unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
This could cause an explosion and death.
R WARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits Radio
Frequency (RF) energy. Caution should be observed when
operating this device. If you have any questions regarding RF
exposure and safety standards, please refer to the Federal
Communications Commission Office of Engineering and
Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC
Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
(OET Bulletin 65).
R WARNING! NEVER
hold the communication terminal so
that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of
the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The
communication terminal will perform best if the microphone is 5 to
10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the communication
terminal is vertical.
R WARNING! NEVER
operate the communication terminal
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 a ringing, reduce the volume level or
discontinue use.
CAUTION: DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as Benzine
or alcohol when cleaning, because they will damage the
communication terminal’s surfaces.

PRECAUTIONS
(Continued)
R WARNING!
Immediately stop using the battery 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.
R WARNING! NEVER
put the battery in a microwave oven,
high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This
could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture.
CAUTION:
Always use the battery within the specified
temperature range, –10°C to +60°C (+14°F to +140°F). Using
the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the
battery’s performance and battery life.
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 must be left unused for a long time,
it must be detached from the terminal after discharging. You may
use the battery until the battery indicator shows half capacity, then
keep it safely in a cool and dry place at the following temperature
range:
–20°C (–4°F) to +50°C (+122°F) (within a month)
–20°C (–4°F) to +35°C (+95°F) (within three months)
–20°C (–4°F) to +20°C (+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
communication terminal may become short when:
・ Approximately five years have passed since the battery was
manufactured.
・ The battery has been repeatedly charged.
・ Charging caution
R 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.
R WARNING! NEVER
charge the communication terminal
during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a
fire or damage the communication terminal. Always disconnect the
power adapter before a storm.
R 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 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.
R WARNING! NEVER
insert the communication terminal
(battery attached to the communication terminal) 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-202: ±0°C to +40°C (+32°F to +104°F)
BC-211: +10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F)
Icom recommends charging the battery at +25°C (+77°F). The
battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified
temperature range. Additionally, battery performance or battery
life may be reduced.
