FCC INFORMATION

• FOR CLASS B UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential instal­lation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that inter­ference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip­ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the inter­ference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and re­ceiver.

PRECAUTIONS

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 radio so that the antenna
is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, espe­cially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The radio will per­form best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the radio is vertical.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the radio with 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.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the radio 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 radio, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the radio to water will result in serious damage to the radio.
DO NOT push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to
transmit.
iii
DO NOT operate or place the radio in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above +60°C (+140°F).
DO NOT modify the radio. The specifications may change
and then not comply with the requirements of a corresponded regulation. The radio warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.
DO NOT operate the radio near unshielded electrical blast-
ing caps.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the radio surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets IP57 requirements for
dust-protection and waterproof protection. However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dust-protection and waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the trans ceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, etc.
-
BE CAREFUL! The radio will become hot when operating it
continuously for long periods of time.
MAKE SURE to turn OFF the radio power before connect-
ing or disconnecting the supplied/optional accessory.
Even when the radio power is OFF, a slight current still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or batteries from the radio 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.
