WORD DEFINITION
RDANGER!
RWARNING!
CAUTION
NOTE
Personal death, serious injury or an explosion may occur.
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
DISPOSAL
The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your
product, literature, or packaging reminds you
that in the European Union, all electrical and
electronic products, batteries, and accumulators
(rechargeable batteries) must be taken to des-
ignated collection locations at the end of their
working life. Do not dispose of these products as unsorted
municipal waste. Dispose of them according to the laws in
your area.
PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom bat-
R
tery packs with Icom radios or Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom radios
or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or
cause the battery to burst.
WARNING! NEVER hold the radio so that the an-
R
tenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body,
especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The radio will
perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches)
away from the lips and the radio is vertical.
WARNING! NEVER operate the radio with a head-
R
set or other audio accessories at high volume levels. The
continuous high volume operation may cause a ringing in
your ears. If you experience the ringing, reduce the volume
level or discontinue use.
WARNING! NEVER operate the radio while driving
R
a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything
less may result in an accident.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna, bat-
tery pack and jack cover are securely attached to the radio,
and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the radio to dust or water will
result in serious damage to the radio.
DO NOT operate the radio near unshielded electrical
blast ing caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to
transmit.
DO NOT operate or place the radio in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F).
DO NOT modify the radio. The specifications may change
and then not comply with the requirements of a corresponded
regulation. The radio warranty does not cover any problems
caused by unauthorized modification.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the radio surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The radio will become hot when operat-
ing it continuously for long periods of time.
ii
PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
FCC INFORMATION
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets IP67* require-
ments for dust-tight and waterproof protection. However,
once the transceiver has been dropped, dust-tight and waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible
damage to the transceiver’s case or the waterproof seal.
* Only when the jack cover or the optional HM-168LWP is
attached.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still
flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or batteries
from the trans ceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed battery pack or batteries will become exhausted, and will need to be recharged or replaced.
MAKE SURE to turn OFF the radio power before
connect ing the supplied/optional equipment.
• FOR CLASS A UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver,
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
