R DANGER! NEVER short terminals (or charging terminals) 
of the battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal 
objects such as a necklace, so be careful when placing bat-
tery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc.
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as 
a necklace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not 
only the battery pack, but also the transceiver.
R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Inter-
nal battery gas may cause an explosion.
R DANGER! NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. 
If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BE-
FORE
 attaching it to the transceiver.
• CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified tem-
perature range, –5˚C to +60˚C (+23˚F to +140˚F). Using 
the battery out of its specified temperature range will re-
duce the battery’s performance and battery life.
• CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is 
left completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature 
environment (above +55˚C; +131˚F) for an extended period 
of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, 
it must be detached from the radio after charging. Keep it 
safely in a cool dry place at the following temperature range:
–20˚C to +45˚C
(–4˚F to +113˚F) (up to a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C
(–4˚F to +95˚F)
(up to six months)
–20˚C to +25˚C
(–4˚F to +77˚F)
(up to a year*)
* We recommend charging the battery pack every 6 months.
• Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or misscontact.
• Keep battery terminals clean. It’s a good idea to clean bat-
tery terminals once a week.
• If your Ni-MH battery pack seems to have no capacity, even 
after being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the 
power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. 
If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or only very lit-
tle charge), a new battery pack must be purchased.
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery 
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
between 0°C and +45°C for the regular charge by the 
transceiver.
or between +10°C and +40°C for the rapid charge with the 
BP-191.
• Use the supplied charger (BC-167S) or optional charger 
(BC-191) only. NEVER use other manufacturers’ chargers.
• The battery pack contains a rechargeble battery.
Charge the battery pack before first operating the trans-
ceiver, or when the battery pack becomes exhausted.
If you want to prolong the battery life, the following points 
should be observed:
- Avoid over charging.
- Use the battery pack until it becomes almost completely 
exhausted, under normal conditions. We recommend bat-
tery charging after transmitting becomes impossible.
N Caution
