PRECAUTIONS

▲ DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Shorting may occur if the terminals touch metal objects such as a key, so be careful when placing the battery packs (or the transceiver) in bags, and so on. Carry them so that shorting cannot occur with metal objects. Shorting may damage not only the battery pack, but also the transceiver.

△ DANGER! NEVER operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

▲ DANGER! NEVER use and charge Icom battery packs with non-Icom transceivers or non-Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.

▲ WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver 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.

CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning, because they will damage the transceiver surfaces.

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.

CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in direct sunlight or in places with temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or above +60°C (+140°F) for IC-M93D, and below -15°C (-10°C for the Australian version) or above +55°C for the IC-M93D EURO. The basic operations of the transceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating temperature range. However, the Liquid Crystal Display may not operate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.

CAUTION: DO NOT modify the transceiver. The specifications may change and then the transceiver may not comply with the requirements of required regulations. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver if it becomes hot after operating it continuously for long periods of time. This may damage the transceiver.

KEEP the transceiver and microphone at least 0.9 m (3 feet) away from the vessel's magnetic navigation compass.

Page 5

DO NOT push [PTT] unless you actually intend to transmit.

BE CAREFUL! The IC-M93D and IC-M93D EURO meet 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 speaker microphone jack cover, the optional HM-165, or HM-228 is attached.

Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack 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.

BE CAREFUL! Even if the volume level is set low, the beeps of the Float 'n Flash, DSC alarm and AquaQuake functions are very loud.

BE SURE the transceiver power is OFF before connecting the supplied or optional equipment.

RECOMMENDATION

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, or the transceiver has been dropped. Contact your lcom distributor or your dealer for advice.

DISPOSAL

The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your product, literature, or packaging reminds you that in the European Union, all electrical and electronic products, batteries, and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) must be taken to designated collection locations at the end of their working life. Do not dispose of

these products as unsorted municipal waste. Dispose of them according to the laws in your area.

11 BATTERY CHARGING

♦ Battery caution

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's performance.

▲ 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.

▲ DANGER! NEVER leave battery pack in places with temperatures above +60°C (+140°F). High temperature buildup in the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery's performance or shorten battery life.

▲ DANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise impact the battery. 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.

▲ DANGER! NEVER expose the battery to rain, snow, seawater, 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.

△ DANGER! NEVER place or leave battery packs near fire. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with local regulations.

▲ DANGER! NEVER use the battery with a transceiver for which it is not specified. Never use a battery with any other equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruction manual.

▲ DANGER! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery get in your eyes. If it does, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and immediately go to a doctor.

▲ 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.

▲ WARNING! NEVER use the battery if it emits an abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of these conditions occur, contact your lcom dealer or distributor.

△ WARNING! NEVER use deteriorated battery packs. They could cause a fire.

△ WARNING! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery come in contact with your body. It it does, immediately wash with clean water.

CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery pack out of the specified temperature range.

IC-M93D:	−20°C ~ +60°C (−4°F ~ +140°F)
• IC-M93D EURO:	–15°C ~ +55°C
	(-10°C ~ +55°C for the Australian version)
• BP-285:	−20°C ~ +60°C (−4°F ~ +140°F)

Using the battery out of its specified 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.

Page 73

BATTERY CHARGING 11

CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above +50°C (+122°F)) for an extended period of time. If the battery pack must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the transceiver after discharging. You may use the battery pack until the remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool and dry place at the following temperature range: -20°C ~ +50°C (-4°F ~ +122°F) (within a month) -20°C ~ +40°C (-4°F ~ +104°F) (within three months) -20°C ~ +20°C (-4°F ~ +68°F) (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.

♦ Charging caution

▲ 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.

△ DANGER! NEVER charge the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power adapter before a storm.

▲ WARNING! NEVER 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! Occasionally observe the battery pack condition while charging. If any abnormal condition occurs, discontinue using the battery pack.

▲ 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 use the power adapter unless the power outlet is easily accessible and near the unit. Remove it from the power outlet when not in use.

NOTE: Charge the battery pack within the specified temperature range: +10°C ~ +45°C (+50°F ~ +113°F). Otherwise, the charging time will be longer, but the battery will not reach a full charge. While charging, at a point after the temperature goes out of the specified range, the charging will automatically stop.

NOTE: Be sure the slots on the battery pack are correctly aligned

16 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy while transmitting. This radio is designed for and classified as for "Occupational Use Only." This means it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the "General Population"

and complies with the FCC and IC RF exposure limits for "Occupational Use Only". In addition, your Icom radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:

FCC KDB Publication 447498 D03, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.
The antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker microphone, and other accessories that are listed in "OPTIONS" are authorized for use with this product. Use of accessories other than those specified may result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC and IC requirements for wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip (MB-133), Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack (BP-285). Health Canada Safety Code 6 - Limits of Human Exposure to
Electromagnetic Energy in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC and IC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:

DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC and IC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of the total radio use time ("50% duty cycle"). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the TX icon is displayed. You can cause the radio to transmit by pushing the "PTT" switch.
ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting, and only use the Icom belt-clips listed in "OPTIONS" when attaching the radio to your belt, or other place, to ensure FCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded.

The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC and IC RF exposure limits of this radio.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
