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.
PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery
R
pack.
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 transceiver so that
R
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.
WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with
R
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.
WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while
R
driving 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 transceiver, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before
attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to dust or
water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-
cal blast ing caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT
push [PTT] when not actually intending to transmit.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F).
The basic operations, transmission and reception of the
transceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating
temperature range. However, the LCD display may not be
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.
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.

PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
FCC INFORMATION
BE CAREFUL! The IC-F3031S, IC-F3033S, IC-
F3033T, IC-F3033T-T, IC-F3036S, IC-F3036T, IC-F4031S,
IC-F4033S, IC-F4033T, IC-F4036S and IC-F4036T meet
IP67* requirements 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 the transceiver power OFF before
connect ing the supplied/optional equipment.
For U.S.A. 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.
• 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.
