WORD DEFINITION
RDANGER!
RWARNING!
CAUTION
NOTE
i
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.
R DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the bat-
tery pack.
R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery
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.
R WARNING! 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 2 to 4 in. (5
to 10 cm) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
R WARNING! 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 level or discontinue use.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE
battery pack are securely attached to the transceiver, and that
the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment.
Exposing the inside of the transceiver to water will result in
serious damage to the transceiver.
the flexible antenna and
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods of time.

DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-
cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT push [PTT] when not actually intending to trans-
mit.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below +22°F (–30°C) or above
+140°F (+60°C).
The basic operations, transmission and reception of the
transceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating
temperature range. However, the LCD display may not operate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours
of operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.
DO NOT modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty
does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.
KEEP the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and never
immerse it in the water. The transceiver meets IP55* requirements for dust-protection and water jet resistance.
However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dust-protection and water jet resistance cannot be guaranteed due
to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, etc.
* Only when the supplied battery pack, flexible antenna and connec-
tor cover are attached.
MAKE SURE to turn the transceiver power OFF before
connecting the supplied/optional equipment.

• FOR CLASS B UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and re-
ceiver.
