The spin-singlet state ηc2(1D2) has not been discovered in experiment and it is the only missing low-excited D-wave charmonium, so in this paper, we like to study its properties. Using the Bethe-Salpeter equation method, we obtain its mass as 3828.2 MeV and its electromagnetic decay widths as Γ[ηc2(1D)→hc(1P)γ]=284 keV, Γ[ηc2(1D)→J/ψγ]=1.04 keV, Γ[ηc2(1D)→ψ(2S)γ]=3.08 eV, and Γ[ηc2(1D)→ψ(3770)γ]=0.143 keV. {Considering the strong decay widths are estimated to be Γ(ηc2(1D)→ηcππ)=144keV and Γ(ηc2(1D)→gg)=46.1keV, we obtain the total decay width of 475 keV for ηc2(1D), and point out that the full width is very sensitive to the mass Mηc2.} In our calculation, the emphasis is put on the relativistic corrections. Our results show that ηc2→hcγ is the nonrelativistic E1 transition dominated E1+M2+E3 decay, and ηc2→ψγ is the M1+E2+M3+E4 decay but the relativistic E2 transition contributes the most.
