This instruction manual
CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH
WATER after exposure to saltwater, and dry it before operating.
Otherwise, the transceiver’s keys, switches and controllers may
become unusable, due to salt crystallization, and/or the charging
terminals of the battery pack may rust.
NOTE:
If the transceiver’s waterproof protection appears defective,
carefully clean it with a soft, wet (fresh water) cloth, then, dry it before
operating. The transceiver may lose its waterproof protection if the case
or jack cover is cracked or broken, or the transceiver has been dropped.

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

PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! NEVER short terminals of the battery
R
pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such
as a key, so be careful when placing the battery packs (or
the transceiver) in handbags, and so on. Simply carrying
with or placing near metal objects such as a key, and so on
may cause shorting. This may damage not only the battery
pack, but also the transceiver.
DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom
R
battery packs with Icom transceivers or Icom chargers. Only
Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with
Icom transceivers 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.
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 transceiver while
R
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE
battery 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.
the flexible antenna,
DO NOT operate the transceiver 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 transceiver in direct
sunlight or in areas with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F)
or above +60°C (+140°F).
DO NOT modify the transceiver. The specifications may
change and then not comply with the requirements of a
corresponded regulation. 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.
ii
PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
FCC INFORMATION
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets 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
connecting or disconnecting the supplied or optional accessory.
Icom is not responsible for the destruction or damage to
the Icom transceiver, if the malfunction is because of:
• Force majeure, including, but not limited to, fires,
earthquakes, storms, floods, lightnings, or other natural
disasters, disturbances, riots, war, or radioactive
contamination.
• The use of Icom transceiver with any equipment that is
not manufactured or approved by Icom.
to turn OFF the transceiver before
• 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.
