■ About the Group (or Talkgroup) Call

The Talkgroup Call function enables the user to communicate with call-to parties in the same Talkgroup.
For example, in the illustration below, when the transceiver “00004” in its normal group “10001” selects Talkgroup “20001,”
it is excluded from group “10001,” and can communicate with only transceivers “00006” and “00008” that belong to group
“20001.”
L This function may be used only when the Talkgroup number is registered and the Talkgroup Call function is assigned to

a key by your dealer.

LAsk your dealer about whether or not to include the Talkgroup in the All Call.

■ Battery pack cautions

WORD DEFINITION

RDANGER!

RWARNING!

CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.

NOTE

R 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.

R DANGER! NEVER operate the transceiver near
unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive
atmosphere. This could cause an explosion and death.

R DANGER! NEVER use or 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 thirdparty
or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke,
fire, or cause the battery to burst.

WARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits Radio

R
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).

R WARNING! 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.

R 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 a ringing, reduce the volume
level or discontinue use.

R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving
a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention— anything
less could result in an accident.

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

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver unless the
flexible antenna, battery pack, and jack cover are securely
attached. Confirm that the antenna and battery pack are dry
before attaching. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to
dust or water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.
After exposure to water, clean the battery contacts thoroughly
with fresh water and dry them completely to remove any
water or salt residue.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –10°C (14°F) or above +60°C
(140°F)

DO NOT push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to
transmit.

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.

Personal death, serious injury or an explosion

may occur.

Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may

occur.

If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of
personal injury, fire or electric shock.

.

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

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets IP67* 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
waterproof seal.
* Only when the BP-272 or BP-307, flexible antenna or

antenna cap and SP/MIC jack cap are attached.

The optional BP-272 and BP-307 meets IP67 requirements.

• 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 performance.

R 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.

R 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 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! 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.

R DANGER! NEVER incinerate a 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 go to a doctor immediately.

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

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.

WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part

R
of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the
battery.
R 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.

CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified
temperature range, –10°C ~ +60°C (14°F ~ 140°F). Using
the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce
the battery’s performance and battery life.

■ Battery pack cautions (continued)

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 transceiver
after discharging. You may use the battery until the battery
indicator shows half capacity, then keep it safely in a cool
and dry place at the following temperature range:

–20°C (–4°F) ~ +50°C (+122°F) (within a month)
–20°C (–4°F) ~ +35°C (+95°F) (within three months)
–20°C (–4°F) ~ +20°C (+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.

Attention to the swelled battery pack

The battery cells may deteriorate and swell due to their

microphone to the BC-218, you can transmit and receive

the audio by wirelessly connecting to the transceiver and
BC-218.

HM-215 (option)

About the Electromagnetic Interference:

Bluetooth uses the 2.4 GHz band. When using the
BC-218 in the 2.4 GHz band near a Bluetooth device,
interference may occur. This may cause a decrease in
communication speed, or an unstable connection.

In such a case, use the BC-218 away from the Blue-

tooth device communication area, or stop using the
Bluetooth device.

◎ VS-3 Bluetooth® Headset

When you connect the optional VS-3* Bluetooth

headset to the transceiver, you can wirelessly transmit

and receive the headset audio. The VS-3 has a [PTT]
switch, so you can transmit in the same way as using the
transceiver’s [PTT] switch.

L[FWD], [RWD] and [PLAY] keys on the VS-3 are disabled.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110­1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.

Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast,
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software-­to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free
Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free
Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply
it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the
software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you
to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of
the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the
recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.
And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you
legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there
is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modied by someone else and passed on, we want its
recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not
reect on the original authors’ reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger
that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or
not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modication follow.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder

saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to
any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative
work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim
or with modications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
limitation in the term “modication”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”. Activities other than copying,
distribution and modication are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running
the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a
work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is
true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any

medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright
notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of
any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty

protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the

Program, and copy and distribute such modications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modied les to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the les and the

date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived

from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modied program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when

started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that
you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling
the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does
not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an
announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modied work as a whole. If identiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions
for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by
you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works
based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a
work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other
work under the scope of this License.

6-10

■ About the license (continued)

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or

executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed

under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no

more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy
of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code.

(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modications to it. For an
executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface denition les, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the
executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that
is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and
so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place,
then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the
source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this

License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in
full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you

permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law
if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based
on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for
copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically

receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms
and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted
herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not

limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise)
that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License.
If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other
pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a
patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies
directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance
of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or
to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the
free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have
made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on
consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this
License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by

copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add
an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted
only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License

from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program species a version number of
this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and
conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program
does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are

different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision
will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of
promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE

PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,
YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY

COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY
TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF
THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to
achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source le
to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each le should have at least the “copyright” line and
a pointer to where the full notice is found.

<one line to give the program’s name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General
Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your
option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even
the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w’.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c’ for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w’ and `show c’ should show the appropriate parts of the General Public
License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w’ and `show c’; they
could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a “copyright
disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision’ (which makes passes at
compilers) written by James Hacker.

<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your
program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.
