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 blasting 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 transceiver 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 connecting 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.
