EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
FEATURES
☞ Floating on water
The transceiver floats on fresh or salt
water even when the supplied accessories are attached.
• When a third-party battery pack, strap, antenna, etc. is used, it may sink.
• The battery contacts may be prone to rust
if the transceiver is kept floating on the
water.
☞ Clear voice boost
The transceiver has the noise detection function which
enables automatic volume adjustment and the volume
loud function that enables you to maximize the volume
level instantly to provide clear communication in the
noisy marine environments.
WORD DEFINITION
RDANGER
RWARNING
CAUTION
NOTE
ii
Personal death, serious injury or an
explosion may occur.
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
☞ Noise cancelling microphone
The sub-microphone on the rear panel inverts the phase
and cancels out the ambient noise from the main micro
phone. As a result, the transceiver can reduce the influence of the background noise (particularly treble noise)
on the transmitted signal.
• The noise cancellation can produce no effect according to conditions such as loudness and type of noise, or the position and
distance between the noise source and the microphone, etc.
• The noise cancellation does not work when an optional external speaker-microphone is connected.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY RECOMMENDATION
If your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels and
the Coast Guard by sending a distress call on Channel 16.
❍ USING CHANNEL 16
DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE
1. “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY.”
2. “THIS IS ……………… ” (name of vessel)
3. Your call sign or other indication of the vessel.
4. “LOCATED AT …………… ” (your position)
5. The nature of the distress and assistance
required.
6. Any other information which might facilitate
the rescue.
CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY IN A BOWL
OF FRESH WATER after exposure to saltwater, and dry it
before operating.
Otherwise, the transceiver’s keys, switches, and controllers
may become unusable, due to salt crystallization, and/or the
charging terminals of the battery pack may corrode.
NOTE: If the transceiver’s waterproof protection appears
defective, carefully clean it with a soft, damp (fresh water)
cloth, then dry it before operating.
The transceiver may lose its waterproof protection if the
case, jack cap, or connector cover is cracked or broken,
the transceiver has been dropped, or the battery pack
screw is not tightened.
Contact your Icom distributor or your dealer for advice.
ii
PRECAUTIONS
RDANGER! NEVER short terminals of the battery pack.
Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such as a key,
so be careful when placing the battery packs (or the transceiver)
in handbags, and so on. Simply carrying with or placing near
metal objects such as a key, and so on may cause shorting. This
may damage not only the battery pack, but also the transceiver.
RDANGER! NEVER use and charge other than the spec-
ified 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.
RDANGER! NEVER operate the transceiver near un-
shielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
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 an-
tenna is closer than 2.5 cm (1 inch) 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 (2 to 4
inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
CAUTION: DO NOT attach the battery unless the flexible
antenna, battery pack and jack cover are securely attached to
the transceiver. Confirm that the antenna and battery pack are
dry before attaching. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to
dust or water can cause 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.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source other than
the BP-251 (option) or BP-252. Such a connection will ruin the
transceiver.
DO NOT operate or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –15°C or above +55°C.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when
cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.
DO NOT push [PTT] when not actually intending to transmit.
DO NOT modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does
not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modifications.
PLACE the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent
use by unauthorized persons.
KEEP the transceiver at least 0.9 meters (3.0 ft) 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 of time.
iii
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets IPX7* requirements
for waterproof protection. However, once the transceiver has
been dropped, waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed
because of possible damage to the transceiver's case or the
waterproof seal.
* Only when the BP-251 (option) or BP-252, flexible antenna, [SP
MIC] cap is attached.
MAKE SURE to turn OFF the transceiver power before con-
necting or disconnecting the supplied or optional accessory.
Icom is not responsible for the destruction, damage to, or
performance of any Icom or non-Icom equipment, if the
malfunction is because of:
• Force majeure, including, but not limited to, fires,
earthquakes, storms, floods, lightning, or other natural
disasters, disturbances, riots, war, or radioactive
contamination.
• The use of Icom transceivers with any equipment that is
not manufactured or approved by Icom.

SCAN OPERATION (Except Holland version)
■ 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, the auto scan function is available for standby
convenience. This function can be activated depending on
the setting in the set mode. (p. 18)
PRIORITY SCAN
CH 01
CH 88
CH 05 CH 04
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
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.
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 by setting the battery in direct sunlight for
long periods of time 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,
saltwater, or any other liquids. Never 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! KEEP battery packs away from fire. Fire or
heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of an
used battery pack in accordance with local regulations.
R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or NEVER
modify the battery pack. This may generate heat in the battery, and the battery pack 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 described 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 odour, heats up, or is discoloured or deformed.
If any of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or
distributor.
R WARNING! NEVER use deteriorated battery packs. They
could cause a fire.
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 overheating, a fire, or cause the battery to
rupture.

22
CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specific 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
specific temperature range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life. Please note that the specified temperature 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 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 transceiver after discharging.
You may use the battery until the remaining capacity is about
half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature range as below;
–20˚C to +50˚C (within a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (within three months)
–20˚C to +20˚C (within a year)
BE SURE to replace the battery pack with a new one approximately five years after manufacturing, even if it still holds a
charge. The inside battery material will become weak after a
period of time, even with little use. The estimated number of
times you can charge the battery is between 300 and 500.
Even when the battery appears to be fully charged, the operating time of the transceiver may become short when:
• Approximately five years have passed since the battery was
manufactured.
• The battery has been repeatedly charged.
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 environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate,
causing the battery to stop charging.
R WARNING! NEVER charge the transceiver during a light-
ning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire
or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power
adapter before a storm.
R WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the
battery charger beyond the specific time for charging. If the
battery is not completely charged by the specific time, stop
charging and remove the battery from the battery charger.
Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specific time limit
may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rupture.
R WARNING! Occasionally observe the battery pack condi
tion while charging. If any abnormal condition occurs, discontinue using battery pack.
R 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 specific
temperature range: 10˚C to 40˚C. Icom recommends charg
ing the battery at 20˚C. The battery may heat up or rupture if
charged out of the specific temperature range. Additionally,
battery performance or battery life may be reduced.
