PRECAUTIONS

RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits

Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme 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 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! 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 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.

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.

NEVER connect a power supply of more than 16 V DC through the optional CP-19R CIGARETTE LIGHTER CABLE to the [DC 11V] jack to prevent damaging the transceiver.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using reverse polarity. This will ruin the transceiver.

NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged.

NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. The transceiver may be damaged.

NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or ruin the transceiver.

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 NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.

ii

PRECAUTIONS—continued

DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods.

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).

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

AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s surfaces.

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 (Li-Ion: BP-227) or installed batteries 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.

3 BATTERY PACKS

■ Cautions

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.

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

DBattery caution

•R DANGER! DO NOT hammer 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.

•R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature build up 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.

•R DANGER! DO NOT 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.

•R DANGER! NEVER incinerate an used battery pack since internal battery gas may cause it 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 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 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.

•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.
