PRECAUTIONS

RDANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack.

RDANGER! 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.

RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits

Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Caution should be observed when
operating this device. If you have any questions regarding RF ex­posure and safety standards, please refer to the Federal Com­munications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology’s
report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human
Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).

RWARNING! 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
away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.

RWARNING! 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.

RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while

driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.

RWARNING! NEVER operate or touch the trans-

ceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or
may damage the transceiver.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE the 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 electri-

cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

DO NOT push [PTT] unless you actually intend to trans-

mit.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when

operating it continuously for long periods of time.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or

in areas with temperatures below –20°C or above +60°C.

Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by
children.

* Not supplied, or the shape is different, depending on the version.

SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES

DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol

when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.

DO NOT disassemble or modify the transceiver for any

reason.

KEEP the transceiver away from heavy rain, and never im-

merse it in water. The transceiver meets IP54* requirements
for dust-protection and splash resistance. However, once the
transceiver has been dropped, dust-protection and splash re­sistance cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage
to the transceiver’s case or the waterproof seal.

* Only when the battery pack or case, antenna and jack cover are

attached.

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.

BATTERY CHARGING

■ Caution

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.

R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal
battery gas may cause an explosion.

R DANGER! NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If
the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BE-

FORE attaching it to the transceiver.

CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified tem-

perature range, –5˚C to +60˚C. Using the battery out of its
specified temperature range will reduce the battery’s perfor­mance and battery life.

CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left
completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature envi­ronment (above +55˚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 charging. Keep it safely in a cool
dry place at the following temperature range:

–20˚C to +45˚C (up to a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (up to six months)
–20˚C to +25˚C (up to a year*)

* We recommend charging the battery pack every 6 months.

7

(for the BP-264 Ni-MH battery)

Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or misscontact.

Keep battery terminals clean. It’s a good idea to clean bat­tery terminals once a week.

If your Ni-MH battery pack seems to have no capacity, even
after being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the
power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again.
If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or only very lit­tle charge), a new battery pack must be purchased. (p. 39)
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.

• Recommended temperature range for charging:

between +10°C and +40°C (rapid charge: with BC-191) or

between 0°C and +45°C (regular charge: with BC-192)

• Use the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-191 for

rapid charging, BC-192 for regular charging) only. NEVER
use other manufacturers’ chargers.

The battery pack contains a rechargeable battery.
Charge the battery pack before first operating the transceiver,
or when the battery pack becomes exhausted.
If you want to prolong the battery life, the following points
should be observed:

• Avoid over charging. The charging time period should be

less than 48 hours.

• Use the battery pack until it becomes almost completely ex­hausted, under normal conditions. We recommend battery
charging after transmitting becomes impossible.

BATTERY CHARGING

■ Caution (for the BP-265 Li-Ion battery)

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.

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 pack 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 degrade
battery performance or shorten battery life.

R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, sea-
water, 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.

R DANGER! NEVER incinerate a used battery pack since
internal battery gas may cause it 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 burst, 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,
blindness 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
abnormal 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

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 (for the BP-265 Li-Ion battery) (Continued)

CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified tem-
perature range, –20˚C to +60˚C. Using the battery out of its
specified temperature range will reduce the battery’s perfor­mance and battery life.

CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left
fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive tem­perature environment (above +50˚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 icon shows half-capacity, and
then keep it safely in a cool dry place at the following temper­ature range:

–20˚C to +50˚C (up to a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (up to three months)
–20˚C to +20˚C (up to a year)

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 vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such en­vironments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will
activate, causing the battery to stop charging.

R

WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the

battery 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 rup­ture.

R

WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery at-

tached 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-193 (+10˚C to +40˚C
ommends 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.

The supplied battery pack, charger, and AC adapter differ,
or no supplied depending on the version.
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.

REPEATER OPERATION

■ About Repeater

To communicate with another station in a area where radio
waves cannot be directly received, you can use a repeater
as the relay.
In repeater operation, the transmit frequency is different from
the receive frequency. This is called duplex operation.
The frequencies are pre-programmed into an operating chan­nel for duplex operation. Ask your dealer for details.

q Push [ ] or [ ] to select a channel that has been pro-

grammed for repeater use.

• The frequencies are pre-programmed into channels using the
CS-G80 c l o n i n g s o f t w a r e . Ask your dealer for details.

w If required, push [FUNC](*) and then [TONE](1) one or

more times to activate the subaudible tone encoder.

• See page 20 for subaudible tone setting details.

e Push [PTT] to transmit; release to receive.
r Hold down [MONI] to check whether the other station’s

transmit signal can be directly received or not.

When the signal can be directly received, move to the sim-

plex operation channel.

D

Talk Around function

The Talk Around function equalizes the transmit frequency
to the receive frequency for transceiver-to-transceiver com­munication, Duplex operation temporarily changes to simplex
operation.

This function is convenient at the following situations:

- When the repeater is broken down and is not usable.

- When you can use only the down link frequency (receive).

grammed for repeater use.

■ VOX function

The transceiver has a VOX function, which allows hands-free
operation.
An optional HS-94, HS-95 or HS-97 headset and the OPC­2004 plug adapter cable are also required.

• The VOX (voice operated transmission) function starts transmis­sion when you speak into the microphone, without needing to
push [PTT]; then, automatically returns to reception when you stop
speaking.

D Optional unit connection

q Hold down [ ] for 1 second to turn OFF the power.
w Remove the jack cover. (p. 2)

When using the VOX function, adjust the microphone gain
and the VOX-related settings (pp. 32, 33) to suit your oper­ating environment (including your headset performance).

• Set the microphone gain before setting the VOX gain in
the Set mode (p. 33). We recommend setting the micro­phone gain to 3.

The VOX function is not activated while in the Set mode.

• VOX gain

The VOX gain level can be adjusted between 1 (minimum) and
10 (maximum), or turned OFF. Higher values make the VOX
function more sensitive to your voice.

➥ While speaking into the head-

se t microphone, adj ust the
VOX gain until “On” continu­ously appears on the LCD.

If “On” is intermittent, be sure the VOX delay is set long
enough to allow normal pauses in speech, but keep the

VOX ON until you finish speaking.

✔ CONVENIENT!

While transmitting using the VOX function, you can adjust
the VOX gain simply by rotating [VOL].

• VOX delay

Sets the VOX delay to between 0.5 and 3.0 seconds (in

0.5 second steps). The VOX delay is the amount of time the
transmitter stays ON after you stop speaking.

• VOX Time-out Timer

Sets the VOX Time-out Timer to between 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10
and 15 minutes to prevent accidental prolonged transmis­sion for the VOX function.
To turn OFF the function, select “Vto."

The VOX Time-out Timer must be set shorter than the
Time-out Timer, otherwise this timer will not function.
