Icom IC-F29SR2 Notice De Base page 9

CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery pack out of the
specified temperature range, for the transceiver –25°C to
+55°C, and the battery itself –20°C to +60°C. Using the
pack out of its specified temperature range will reduce it's
performance and the battery cell's life. Please note that the
specified temperature range of the pack may exceed that of
the transceiver. In such cases, the transceiver may not work
properly because it is out of its operating temperature range.
CAUTION: Shorter battery pack life could occur if the pack is
left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive
temperature environment (above +50˚C) 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 until the remaining
capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place
in the following temperature range:
–20˚C to +50˚C (within a month)
–20˚C to +40˚C (within three months)
–20˚C to +20˚C (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 material inside the battery cells will
become weak after a period of time, even with little use. The
estimated number of times you can charge the pack is between
300 and 500. Even when the pack appears to be fully charged,
the operating time of the transceiver may become short when:
• Approximately five years have passed since the pack was
manufactured.
• The pack has been repeatedly charged.
BATTERY CHARGING
D 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 pack will
activate and stop the 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 pack in
the battery charger beyond the specified time for charging.
If the pack is not completely charged by the specified time,
stop charging and remove it from the battery charger.
Continuing to charge the pack beyond the specified time
limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery cells may
rupture.
R WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (with the
battery pack attached) 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-213 (10˚C to 40˚C),
BC-214 (15˚C to 40˚C). Icom recommends charging the
battery at +20˚C. The battery may heat up or rupture if
charged out of the specified temperature range. Additionally,
battery performance or battery life may be reduced.
