D Include call
The include call allows to make an extra call for joining an-
other station for the communication after move to a commu
nication channel.
The include call is made when an individual or group code
selection using a memory or keypad is performed on the
communication channel.
D 5-digit routing code call
The 5-digit routing code call provides a shortening a calling
code input.
When calling a station that has a different prefix and/or fleet
code, the 3-digit prefix and 4-digit fleet code are converted
into 2 or 3-digit code, therefore, entering a total of 5-digit
code including an individual or group code.
• The conversion range
Code within 200 to 299, 900 to 998, 20 to 29 and 90 to 99
can be converted, and set the desired prefix and fleet code
must be registered in advance.
e.g.: When the station ‘200 2001 200’ calls the station ‘211
2006 300’;
➥Register the both prefix ‘211’ and fleet ‘2006’ to “22”
as the 5-digit routing code— Enter “22300” and push

found, or return to conventional mode when no usable control
channel is found.
The automatic talk around is disabled by setting “OFF” in au

q Rotate [VOL] to turn the power OFF, and remove the bat-
tery pack. (p. 2)
w Remove the unit cover.
NOTE: Insert a standard screw driver into the hollow of the chas-
sis, then lift and take away the unit cover illustrated as below.
Use the supplied spare unit cover! Do not use the cover that
has been removed once. Water or dust may get into the trans-
ceiver because the cover may be bent or has lost it’s adhesion.
This may result in the transceiver being damaged.
e Cut the pattern on the PCB at the TX mic circuit (MIC) and
RX AF circuit (DISC) as shown below.
r Install the unit as shown below.
t Replace the unit cover and the battery pack, then rotate
[VOL] to turn the power ON.
NOTE: When uninstalling the scrambler unit
Be sure to re-solder the disconnected points at left, other

BATTERY CHARGING
■ Caution
Misuse of Lithium-Ion batteries may result in the fol-
lowing hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture.
Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degra
dation of battery performance.
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 and charge with Icom
radios or Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit bat
tery packs or chargers 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. 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 de
grade battery performance or shorten battery life.
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 in-
ternal battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may cause
an explosion.
R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals 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 equip
ment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruc
tion manual.
R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes,
blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, with
out rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.

WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an
abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any
of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or dis
tributor.
WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part
of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the
battery.
WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven,
high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker.
This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to
rupture.
CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specified tem-
perature range for the transceiver (–25˚C to +55˚C) and the
battery itself (–20˚C to +60˚C). Using the battery out of its
specified temperature range will reduce the battery’s perfor
mance and battery life. Please note that the specified temper
ature range of the battery may exceed that of the transceiver.
In such cases, the transceiver may not work properly because
it is out of its operating temperature range.
CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left
fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive tem
perature environment (above +45˚C) for an extended period
of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it
must be detached from the radio after discharging. You may
use the battery until the battery indicator shows half-capacity,
then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature
between –20˚C to +25˚C.
D Charging caution
R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with
extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves,
-
inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such environ
ments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate,
causing the battery to stop charging.
WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the bat-
tery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the
battery is not completely charged by the specified time, stop
charging and remove the battery from the battery charger.
Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specified time
limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rup
ture.
WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery attached
to the transceiver) into the charger if it is wet or soiled. This
-
could corrode the battery charger terminals or damage the
-
charger. The charger is not waterproof.
CAUTION! DO NOT charge the battery outside of the speci-
fied temperature range: BC-160 (0˚C to +45˚C). Icom recom-
mends charging the battery at +20˚C. The battery may heat
up or rupture if charged out of the specified temperature
-
range. Additionally, battery performance or battery life may
be reduced.

size alkaline batteries as illustrated at right.
q Unhook the battery cover release hook (q), and open the
cover in the direction of the arrow (
w Then, install 6 × AAA (LR03) size alkaline batteries.

• Install the alkaline batteries only.
• Be sure to observe the correct polarity.
• Do not place the ribbon over the batteries.
e Fit the cover in the direction of the arrow (e), then close
(r). And hook the batter y cover release hook until it

CAUTION:
• When installing batteries, make sure they are all the
same brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and
old batteries together.
• Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean bat
tery terminals once a week.
• Never incinerate used battery cells since internal battery
gas may cause them to rupture.
•
Never expose a detached battery case to water. If the bat-
tery case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using it.
