BATTERY CHARGING
■ Caution
Misuse of Lithium-ion batteries may result in the following hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture.
Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery performance.
R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery
packs with Icom radios or Icom charger. Only Icom battery
packs are tested and approved for use and charge with Icom
radios or Icom charger. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or charger may cause smoke, fire, or cause the
battery to burst.
D Battery caution
R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the bat-
tery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted
or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy
pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on the outside
of the case. Even if the surface of the battery does not show
cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may
rupture or catch fire.
R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas
with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature buildup in the battery, such as could occur near fires
or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may
cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery performance or shorten
battery life.
R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow,
seawater, or any other liquids. Never charge or use a wet
battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before
using. The battery is not waterproof.
R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since
inter nal battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may
cause an explosion.
R DANGE R! NEV ER so lder the b atte r y ter m ina ls or
NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the battery may rupture, emit smoke or catch
fire.
R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for
which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other
equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruction manual.
R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your
eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water,
without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Y
our 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.
• Ame rican 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.
• The following accessories are authorized for use with this prod-
uct. Use of accessories other than those specified may result in
RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip (MB-94), Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack (BP-230N/BP-232N) and Speaker-microphone (HM159L/HM-158L).
To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic
energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
9
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached,
as this may damaged 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 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 lights red. You can
cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.
• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from
the body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt-clips
listed on 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
your mouth, and slightly off 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 with 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.
Occupational/Controlled Use
The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposed as consequence of their employment provided those persons
are fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control
over their exposure.
