DEFINITION

RWARNING

CAUTION

NOTE

Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock
may occur.

If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.

Equipment damage may occur.

WORD

PRECAUTIONS

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an

AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.

RWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the

antenna is closer than 2.5 cm from 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.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source other

than the BP-251 (option) or BP-252. Such a connection will
ruin the transceiver.

AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or

in areas with temperatures below –15°C or above +55°C.

KEEP the transceiver out of the reach of children.
KEEP the transceiver at least 0.9 meters away from your

vessel’s magnetic navigation compass.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver’s right-side panel will

become hot when operating continuously for long periods.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver employs waterproof

construction, which corresponds to IPX7 of the international
standard IEC 60529 (2001). However, once the transceiver
has been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guaranteed due
to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the water­proof seal damaged, etc.

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.
After exposure to water, clean the battery contacts thoroughly
with fresh water and dry them completely to remove any
water or salt residue.

D Priorities

• Read all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities and
keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and distress calls
take priority over all others.

• You must monitor Channel 16 when you are not operating
on another channel.

• False or fraudulent distress calls are prohibited under law.

D Privacy

• Information overheard but not intended for you cannot law­fully be used in any way.

• Indecent or profane language is prohibited.

D Radio licenses

(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE

When your craft is equipped with a VHF FM transceiver, you
must have a current radio station license before using the
transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship station which is not
licensed.

Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate government
agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license. This license in­cludes the call sign which is your craft’s identification for radio
purposes.

(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE

A restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license
most often held by small vessel radio operators when a radio
is not required for safety purposes.

The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must be
posted near the transceiver or be kept with the operator. Only
a licensed radio operator may operate a transceiver.

However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a transceiver
if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends the call and
makes the necessary log entries.

A current copy of the applicable government rules and regu­lations is only required to be on hand for vessels in which a
radio telephone is compulsory. However, even if you are not
required to have these on hand it is your responsibility to be
thoroughly acquainted with all pertinent rules and regulations.

■ Scan types

Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has priority scan and
normal scan.

In addition, auto scan function is available for standby conve­nience. This function can be activated depending on the set­ting in set mode. (p. 18)

Set the TAG channels (scanned channels) before scanning.
Clear any TAG channels which inconveniently stop scanning,
such as digital communications.

Choose priority or normal scan in set mode. (p. 18)

PRIORITY SCAN

Priority scan searches through all TAG channels in se­quence while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is de­tected on Channel 16, scan pauses until the signal disap­pears; when a signal is detected on a channel other than
Channel 16, scan becomes dualwatch until the signal dis­appears.

■ Battery caution

R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery
pack with Icom radios or Icom charger. Only Icom battery
pack is tested and approved for use and charge with Icom ra­dios or Icom charger. Using third-party or counterfeit battery
packs or charger may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery
to burst.

DD

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 sun­heated car, or by setting the battery 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. The battery by itself is not waterproof.

R DANGER! NEVER incinerate a used battery pack since
internal 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 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.

Misuse of Lithium-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.

22

8 BATTERY CHARGING

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.

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 overheating, a fire, or cause the battery to
rupture.

CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specified tem­perature range for the transceiver (–15˚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 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 indicator shows half-capacity
( ), then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the tem­perature between –20˚C to +20˚C.

DD

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 environ­ments, 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 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.

WARNING! NEVER insert the battery and 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 speci­fied temperature range: ±0˚C to +40˚C. Icom recommends
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.
