PRECAUTIONS

R DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery 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 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) 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 the flexible antenna and 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.

DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blast-

ing caps.

iii

DO NOT push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to transmit.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas

with temperatures below–20°C (–4°F) or above +55°C (+131°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.

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.

Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still flows
in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or batteries from the trans­ceiver 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.

Call procedure ■

When your system employs tone signalling (excluding CTCSS and
DTCS), the tone call procedure may be necessary prior to voice
transmission. The tone signalling that is employed in the transceiver
may be a selective calling system, which allows you to call only
specific station(s), and prevents unwanted stations from contacting
you.

Select a desired TX code channel or 2/5-tone code, according to q
your System Operator’s instructions.

• This may not be necessary, depending on the programming.

Push [Call] (assigned to one of the dealer programmable keys.) w

Transmitting notes D

• Transmit inhibit function

The transceiver has several inhibit functions, which restrict trans­mission under the following conditions:

- The channel is muted.

- The channel is busy.

- A signal with an unmatched (or matched) CTCSS (or DTCS) tone is
received.

- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.

• Time-out timer

After continuously transmitting longer than the preprogrammed time
period, the time-out timer activates, and stops further transmitting.

• Penalty timer

Once the time-out timer activates, transmitting is further inhibited for
a time period determined by the penalty timer.

• PTTID call

The transceiver automatically sends the ID code (5-tone, DTMF,
BIIS or dPMR operations) when [PTT] is pushed (beginning of the
transmission) and/or released (end of transmission), depending on
the presetting.

BATTERY CHARGING

Caution ■

Misuse of Li-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! 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. may cause shorting. This may damage not only the bat­tery pack, but also the transceiver.

Battery caution D

R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the battery. 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 the transceiver or the battery if either
one is damaged, shows cracks, bruises or is deformed.

R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas with
temperatures above +55˚C (+131°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.

BATTERY CHARGING

R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, seawater,
or any other liquids. Do not 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 internal
battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may cause an explosion.

R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals or NEVER mod-
ify 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, blind-
ness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing
them, and see a doctor immediately.

R

WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an ab-

normal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of these
conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distributor.

R

WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of

the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the battery.

R

pendant plus de 50 % du temps total d’utilisation peut causer une
exposition aux RF supérieure aux limites établies par la FCC et d’IC.
Lorsque le voyant DEL rouge s’allume, cette radio est en train d’émet­tre. La radio émettra si vous appuyez sur le bouton du microphone.

• TOUJOURS tenir l’antenne éloignée d’au moins 2,5 cm de votre corps
au moment d’émettre et utiliser uniquement l’attache pour ceinture Icom
illustrée à la p. 41, lorsque vous attachez la radio à votre ceinture, ou à
autre chose, de façon à vous assurer de ne pas provoquer une exposi­tion aux RF supérieure aux limites fixées par la FCC et d’IC. Pour offrir
à vos interlocuteurs la meilleure qualité de transmission possible, tenez
l’antenne à au moins 5 cm de votre bouche et légèrement de côté.

Les renseignements ci-dessus fournissent à l’utilisateur toute l’information néces­saire sur l’exposition aux RF et sur ce qu’il faut faire pour assurer que cette radio
fonctionne en respectant les limites d’exposition aux RF établies par la FCC et d’IC.

Interférence électromagnétique et compatibilité

En mode de transmission, votre radio Icom produit de l’énergie de RF
qui peut provoquer des interférences avec d’autres appareils ou sys­tèmes. Pour éviter de telles interférences, mettez la radio hors tension
dans les secteurs où une signalisation l’exige. NE PAS faire fonctionner
l’émetteur dans des secteurs sensibles au rayonnement électromagné­tique tels que les hôpitaux, les aéronefs et les sites de dynamitage.

Usage professionnel/contrôlé

Ce radio émetteur est utilisé dans des cas où des personnes sont expo­sées en raison de leur travail, pourvu qu’elles soient conscientes du risque
d’exposition et qu’elles puissent exercer un contrôle sur cette exposition.
