PRECAUTIONS

RWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.

RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will be protected by this fuse, but higher fuse values will not give any protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be ruined.

NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be aware that external DC power connections will charge batteries inside the battery case. This will damage not only the battery case but also the transceiver.

DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.

Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children.

DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14˚F) or above +60°C (+140˚F).

The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.

Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the battery pack or installed rechargeable batteries (Ni-Cd: BP-222N, BP-209N, Ni-MH: BP-210N, Li-Ion: BP-211N) will become exhausted.

For USA only:

Caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

CAUTION

To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits, always adhere to the following guidelines:

•DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.

•DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “Tx indicator” appears. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.

•ALWAYS use Icom authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.

•ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting, and only use the Icom belt-clips which are listed in this manual when attaching the radio to your belt, etc. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the transceiver at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and turned slightly to one side.

The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

■ Battery caution

RDANGER! Use/Charge the specified Icom batteries only. Only tested and approved for use with genuine Icom batteries. Fire and/or explosion may occur when a third party battery pack or counterfeit product is used/charged.

•CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack (or charging terminals of the transceiver). Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful when placing battery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc.

Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a necklace, etc. causes shorting. This will damage not only the battery pack, but also the transceiver.

•NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion.

•NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver.

•Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or poor contact.

•Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean battery terminals once a week.

If your 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 little charge), a new battery pack must be purchased (p. 77).

	first operating the transceiver or when the battery pack be-
	comes exhausted.
	If you want to charge the battery pack more than 300 times,
	the following points should be observed:

•Avoid over charging. The charging period should be less than 24 hours.

•Use the battery until it becomes almost completely exhausted under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging after transmitting becomes impossible.

D Battery pack life

When the operating period becomes extremely short even after charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is needed.

■ Battery charging

Recommendation:

Charge the BP-211N (Li-Ion) by BC-119N (or BC-121N) for a maximum of 2.5 hours. Li-Ion batteries are different from Ni-Cd batteries in that it is not necessary to completely charge and discharge them to prolong the battery life. Therefore, charging the battery in intervals, and not for extended periods is recommended.

D Regular charging with the BC-146

The optional BC-146 provides regular charging of an optional battery pack with or without a transceiver attached. The following is additionally required:

• An optional AC adapter. (An AD-99N is supplied with BC-146.)

	Turn power OFF.	Check orienta-
		tion for correct

charging. (Insert together with AD-99N.)

	• Chargeable battery
	BP-210N (Ni-MH battery)
	BP-209N, BP-222N	BC-146+AD-99N

■ Battery case

(optional for some versions)

When using a BP-208N BATTERY CASE attached to the transceiver, install 6 AA (LR6) size alkaline batteries as illustrated below.

D CAUTION

• Use ALKALINE batteries only.

• Make sure all battery cells are the same brand, type and

capacity. Never mix old and new batteries.

Either of the above may cause a fire hazard or damage

the transceiver if neglected.
