PRECAUTIONS

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 par ts 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.

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.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using

reverse polarity. This will ruin 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.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight

or in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4˚F) or above
+60°C (+140˚F).

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

DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzene or alco-

hol to clean the transceiver, because they can damage the
transceiver’s surfaces.

ii

PRECAUTIONS

FCC INFORMATION

KEEP the transceiver away from heavy rain, and never

immerse in the 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/case, antenna and jack cover are at-

tached.

NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands.

This may result in an electric shock or may damage the
transceiver.

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.

Approved Icom optional equipment is designed for optimal
performance when used with an Icom transceiver.
Icom is not responsible for the destruction or damage to an
Icom transceiver in the event the Icom transceiver is used
with equipment that is not manufactured or approved by
Icom.

BATTERY CHARGING

3

■ 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 (+23˚F to +140˚F). 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; +131˚F) 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 (–4˚F to +113˚F) (up to a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F) (up to six months)
–20˚C to +25˚C (–4˚F to +77˚F) (up to a year*)

* We recommend charging the battery pack every 6 months.

(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 bat-

tery 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. 51)
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 rechargeble battery.
Charge the batter y 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.

■ 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! 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.

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 (+140˚F). 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.

9

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 DANG ER! NEVER solde r the batter y t ermina ls, o r
NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat gener-

ation, 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 batter y 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.

rupture.

CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified tem-
perature range, –20˚C to +60˚C (–4˚F to +140˚F). 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; +122˚F) 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, and then keep it safely in a cool dry place at
the following temperature range:

–20˚C to +50˚C (–4˚F to +122˚F) (up to a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F) (up to three months)
–20˚C to +20˚C (–4˚F to +68˚F) (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 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 spec-
ified temperature range: BC-193 (+10˚C to +40˚C; +50˚F
to +104˚F). Icom recommends charging the battery at +20˚C
(+68˚F). 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.

• 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 mic rophone, adjust t he
VOX gain until “On” continu­ously appears on the LCD.

(default: VOX.05)

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 [DIAL].

• VOX delay

Sets the VOX delay to between 0.5 and 3.0 sec. (in 0.5 sec.
steps). The VOX delay is the amount of time the transmitter
stays ON after you stop speaking. (default: VXd.10)

• VOX time-out timer

Sets the VOX time-out timer to between 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 and
15 min. to prevent accidental prolonged transmission for the
VOX function.
