This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to
rupture.
CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified tem-
peraturerange,–20˚Cto+60˚C(–4˚Fto+140˚F).Usingthe
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 tem-
peratureenvironment(above+50˚C;+122˚F)foranextended
period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long
time, it must be detached from the radio after discharging.
You may use the battery until the battery indicator shows half-
capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place at the following
temperature range:
–20˚C(–4˚F)to+50˚C(+122˚F)(withinamonth).

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 en-
vironments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will ac-
tivate, causing the battery to stop charging.
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 transceiver (battery at-
tached 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 speci-
ed temperature range: 0˚C to +40˚C (+32˚F to +104˚F).
Icomrecommendschargingthebatteryat+25˚C(+77˚F).The
battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified
temperature range. Additionally, battery performance or bat-
tery life may be reduced.
BE SURE to turn the transceiver power OFF while charg-
ing with the supplied BC-167S
b at t e r y c h a r g e r . The battery
pack cannot be charged with the supplied BC-167S when the
