WARNING
CAUTION
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed
for and classified as “Occupational Use Only”,
meaning it must be used only during the course of
employment by individuals aware of the hazards,
and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio
is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, your Icom radio
complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to
RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of
such levels for exposure to humans:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1–1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3–1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous
Electromagnetic Fields— RF and Microwave.
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for
occupational use, 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
i
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 (
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” lights red. 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
listed in page 25 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best
sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from
mouth, and slightly off to one side.
50%
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 cautions
• CAUTION! 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 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 be-
comes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the
transceiver.
• Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or miss contact.
• Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean battery ter-
minals 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. 9)

Charging NOTE
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:
+10°C to +40°C (50°F to 140°F).
• Use the supplied charger or optional charger, BC-119N/BC-121N
for rapid charging BP-209/210/210FM/211, BC-144 for rapid
charging BP-209/210/210FM, BC-137 #11/BC-146 for regular
charging BP-209/210/210FM only. NEVER use other manufacturers’ chargers.
The optional BP-209, BP-210/FM or BP-211battery packs include
rechargeable Ni-Cd (Ni-MH: BP-210/FM, Li-Ion: BP-211) batteries
and can be charged approx. 300 times. Charge the battery pack
before first operating the transceiver or when the battery pack becomes 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
48 hours.
• Use the Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery until it becomes almost completely
exhausted under normal conditions. We recommend battery
charging after transmitting becomes impossible.
☞ Recommendation for Li-Ion battery packs:
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.
