Battery caution Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. 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 fire. R DANGER! NEVER place or leave battery packs in areas with temperatures above 60C (140F). 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 packs performance or shorten the battery cells life. R 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. R 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. BATTERY CHARGING 2 R 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. R 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. R 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. R 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. R 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* and the battery itself (20C ~ +60C (4F ~ +140F)). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce its performance and battery cells life. Please note that the specified 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.

* IC-A25N/IC-A25C: 10C (14F) ~ +60C (+140F) IC-A25NE/IC-A25CE: 20C ~ +55C 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 4 2 BATTERY CHARGING Battery caution (continued) CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above 60C (140F)) 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:

20C ~ +50C (4F ~ +122F) (within a month) 20C ~ +40C (4F ~ +104F) (within three months) 20C ~ +20C (4F ~ +68F) (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 5 years have passed since the battery was manufactured. The battery has been repeatedly charged. WARNING: Stop using the battery pack and replace it when the batterys health is critically low.*

*A Warning dialog is displayed. CAUTION: It is better to replace the battery pack when the batterys health has declined.*

*A Caution dialog is displayed. 5 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 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. R 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. 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. CAUTION: NEVER charge the battery outside of the specified temperature range: BC-224 (15C ~ 40C

(59F ~ 104F)). 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. Battery charger You can charge the supplied battery pack using the supplied battery changer and power adapter. z Charging time: approximately 3 hours. L You can also use the optional power adapter, instead of the supplied battery charger and power adapter.

* Charging time may be longer than using the supplied battery charger. Turn OFF [ ]
