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.
NEVERexpose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
The transceiver may be damaged.

REFERENCE, the factory default setting ([VOL] controls
audio output level) is used to simplify instructions.
D Basic operation
1. Turning ON the transceiver
Although you have purchased a brand new transceiver, some
settings may be changed from the factory defaults because
of the Quality Control
process. Resetting the CPU
is necessary to start from
factory default.
➥ While pushing [MONI]
and [CLR], push and
hold [PWR] for 1 sec. to
reset the CPU and turn
power ON.
2. Adjusting audio output level
➥ Rotate [VOL] to set the desired
audio level.
3. Adjusting the squelch level
➥ While pushing and holding
[MONI], push [YY] or [ZZ] to set
the squelch level.
4. T une the desired frequency
The up/down keys, [YY]/[ZZ], will
allow you to tune to the frequency
that you want to operate on. Page
18 will instruct you on how to adjust
the tuning step size.
➥ Push [YY] or [ZZ] to adjust the fre-
quency.

BATTERY PACKS
■ Cautions
• 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.
DD
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
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.
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.
