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
(2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is verti­cal.

RWARNING! NEVERoperate 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 or discontinue use.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is

DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will
be protected by this fuse, but higher fuse values will not give
any protection against such accidents and the transceiver will
be ruined.

NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be

aware that external DC power connections will charge batter­ies inside the battery case. This will damage not only the bat­tery case but also the transceiver.

DO NOTpush the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-

mit.

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

DO NOToperate the transceiver near unshielded electrical

blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or

in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14˚F) or above
+60°C (+140˚F).

The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair
transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.

Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still
flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from
the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise,
the battery pack or installed rechargeable batteries (Ni-Cd:
BP-222N, BP-209N, Ni-MH: BP-210N, Li-Ion: BP-211N) will
become exhausted.

For USA only:

Caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not ex­pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to
operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

CAUTION

To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic en­ergy is within the FCC allowable limits, always adhere to
the following guidelines:

• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna at-

tached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause
you to exceed FCC 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 total radio use time

(“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time
can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to
be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “Tx indica­tor” appears. You can cause the radio to transmit by press­ing the “PTT” switch.

• ALW AYS use Icom authorized accessories (antennas, bat-

teries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized
accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded.

• ALW AYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away

from the body when transmitting, and only use the Icom
belt-clips which are listed in this manual when attaching the
radio to your belt, etc. To provide the recipients of your
transmission the best sound quality, hold the transceiver at
least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and turned slightly
to one side.

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 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.

■ Battery caution

RDANGER! Use/Charge the specified Icom batteries only.

Only tested and approved for use with genuine Icom bat­teries. Fire and/or explosion may occur when a third party
battery pack or counterfeit product is used/charged.

•

CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack

(or charging terminals of the transceiver). 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. causes shorting. This will damage not only
the battery pack, but also the transceiver.

•

NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas

may cause an explosion.

• NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery

pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attach-
ing it to the transceiver.

• Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or poor contact.

• Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean bat-

tery terminals once a week.

If your 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. 77).

■ Charging NOTE

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:

+10°C to +40°C (; +50˚F to 140˚F)

• Use the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-119N/121N/144N

for rapid charging, BC-146 for regular charging) only. NEVER use
other manufacturers’ chargers.

The optional BP-222N, BP-209N, BP-210N or BP-211N bat­tery packs include rechargeable batteries (Ni-Cd: BP-222N,
BP-209N, Ni-MH: BP-210N, Li-Ion: BP-211N) and can be
charged approx. 300 times. Charge the battery pack before
first operating the transceiver or when the battery pack be­comes exhausted.
If you want to charge the battery pack more than 300 times,
the following points should be observed:

• Avoid over charging. The charging period should be less than
24 hours.

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

DD

Battery pack life

When the operating period becomes extremely short even
after charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is
needed.

■ Battery charging

D Regular charging with the BC-146

The optional BC-146 provides regular charging of an optional
battery pack with or without a transceiver attached. The fol­lowing is additionally required:

• An optional AC adapter. (An AD-99N is supplied with BC-146.)

D About AD-99N

The adapter (Spacer A) only is required for IC-V82/U82 se­ries. When removing the spacer (Spacer B/C),

push the latch
carefully with your finger to remove the spacer (Spacer B/C)
from the adapter (Spacer A).

R CAUTION!

• DO NOT push or force the latch with a screw driver, etc.,

to remove it.

• DO NOT bend the latch when the adapter and spacer are

not joined together. This will cause weakening of the latch
plastic.

• Both cases may break the latch and it may not be able to
be reattached.

Push the latch
carefully.

Remove the spacer (Spacer B/C)
from the adapter.

Check orienta­tion for correct
charging. (In­sert together
with AD-99N.)

Turn power OFF.

BC-146+AD-99N

• Chargeable battery

BP-210N (Ni-MH battery)
BP-209N, BP-222N
(Ni-Cd batteries)

Recommendation:

Charge the BP-211N (Li-Ion) by BC-119N (or BC-121N) for
a maximum of 2.5 hours. Li-Ion batteries are different from
Ni-Cd batteries in that it is not necessary to completely
charge and discharge them to prolong the battery life.
Therefore, charging the battery in intervals, and not for ex­tended periods is recommended.

■ About D-STAR system

In the D-STAR system, repeater linking via a 10 GHz band
backbone and internet network (gateway connection) capa­bilities are available. This system provides you with much
wider coverage range during digital voice mode operation.

•D-STAR system outline (440 MHz band)

For current existing repeater operation, stations that are com­municating must be in the same repeater’s operating area.
However, in the D-STAR system as in the illustration at left,
the repeaters can be linked via the system repeaters (with a
10 GHz signal). Thus stations A and B can communicate even
though they are in different repeater operating areas.

Also, the D-STAR system repeaters are connectable through
the internet network— gateway connection capability.

For example, when station B uses the gateway connection
station B can communicate with the station C!
By using the gateway connection, long distance communica­tions like DX operation may be possible with 144 MHz (for IC­V82)/ 440MHz (for IC-U82) digital voice!

In the D-STAR system, an independent repeater’s operating
area is called an Area and a group that links repeaters via a
10 GHz backbone is called a Zone.

NOTE: The digital repeater for either 144 MHz or 440 MHz
of amateur radio bands operation is not available at pre­sent of November 2004. It will be designed in the future.
