IMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully before using
the IC-41PRO UHF transceiver.
KEEP THIS BASIC MANUAL, as it contains impor-
tant operating information that may be useful in the future.
You can download the ADVANCED MANUAL for more infor-
mation from the Icom website.

i. The use of the citizen band radio service is licenced in
Australia by the ACMA Radiocommunications (Citizens
Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand
by the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) General
User Radio Licence for Citizen Band Radio and operation
is subject to conditions contained within these licences.
ii. Always listen on a channel (or observe the channel busy
indicator) to ensure it is not already being used before
transmitting.
iii. In Australia, channel 11 is the customary calling channel
for establishing communication. Channel 40 is the cus-
tomary road vehicle channel.
iv. In Australia, except in an emergency, a CB transmitter shall
not be operated on UHF emergency channels 5 and 35.
v. No voice transmissions are permitted on data channels 22
and 23 (voice operation is inhibited on these channels).
vi. The user of this UHF CB communications device shall
not transmit Selcall tones for longer than 3 seconds dur-
ing any 60 second period.
vii.UHF CB repeaters extend the operational range of your
radio. Repeaters operate utilising two channels (repeater
input/repeater output). It is important to avoid operation
on locally used repeater input channels (in the channel
range of 31 to 38 and 71 to 78) or locally used repeater
output channels (in the channel range of 1 to 8 and 41 to
48), unless long distance communication via the repeater
is specifically required. See the section on repeater op-
eration (ADVANCED MANUAL) for more information.
viii. Please be aware that the UHF CB network may experi-
ence possible operational issues during the changeover
to narrowband. This transceiver operates on 12.5 kHz
channel spacing. During the changeover period from
25 kHz to 12.5 kHz spacing, there may be some loss of
quality when 12.5 kHz (narrowband, 2.5 kHz deviation)
transmissions are received on 25 kHz (wide band, 5.0
kHz deviation) equipment, and vice-versa. There may
also be interference due to older equipment being oper-
ated on channels adjacent to new narrowband chan-
nels, as the channel setting on these may cause some
‘overlap’. A list of currently authorised channels can be
found on the ACMA website (Australia) and on the MED
website in New Zealand.
GENERAL INFORMATION

PRECAUTIONS
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
away from lips and the transceiver is vertical.
RWARNING! 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 the ringing, reduce the vol-
ume level or discontinue use.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driv-
ing a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—any-
thing less may result in an accident.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna, battery
pack and jack cover are securely attached to the transceiver,
and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attach-
ment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to dust or water
will result in serious damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical
blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT push [PTT] unless you actually intend to transmit.
DO NOT operate or place the transceiver in direct sunlight
or in areas with temperatures below –30°C or above +60°C.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning. They will damage the transceiver surfaces.
RDANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery
pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such
as a key, so be careful when placing the battery packs (or
the transceiver) in handbags, etc. Simply carrying with or
placing near metal objects such as a key, etc. may cause
shorting. This may damage not only the battery pack, but
also the transceiver.
RDANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom bat-
tery packs with Icom transceivers or Icom chargers. Only
Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with
Icom transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using
third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may
cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
WORD DEFINITION
RDANGER! Personal death, serious injury or an
explosion may occur.
RWARNING! Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.
CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.

iii
DO NOT modify the transceiver. The specifications may
change and then not comply with the requirements of a cor-
responding regulation. The transceiver warranty does not cover
any problems caused by unauthorized modification.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods of time.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets IP67* requirements
for dust-tight and waterproof protection. However, once the
transceiver has been dropped, or the waterproof seal is
cracked or damaged, dust-tight and waterproof protection
cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the
transceiver’s case or the waterproof seal.
* Only when the jack cover or the optional HM-168LWP,
HS-94LWP or HS-95LWP is attached.
If the transceiver is exposed to saltwater, BE SURE TO
CLEAN IT THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH WATER
when the transceiver's waterproof protection is effective.
Otherwise, the keys and switches may become inoperable
due to salt crystallization.
Even when the transceiver power is turned OFF, a slight cur-
rent still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or bat-
teries from the transceiver when not using it for a long time.
Otherwise, the attached battery pack or batteries will be-
come exhausted, and will need to be recharged or replaced.

■Caution
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.
Prior to using the battery pack for the
first time, or after not using it for a long time, you must fully
charge the pack. Otherwise, the transceiver may not turn ON.
DBattery caution
RDANGER! 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.
RDANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas
with temperatures above +60˚C. 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.
RDANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, sea-
water, or any other liquids. Never charge or use a wet battery.
If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using.
RDANGER! KEEP battery packs away from fire. Fire or heat
may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used bat-
tery packs in accordance with local regulations.
RDANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals or NEV-
ER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat genera-
tion, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fire.
RDANGER! 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.
RDANGER! 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.
RWARNING! 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.
RWARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any
part of the body that comes into contact with fluid from
inside the battery.
RWARNING! 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 burst.
CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified
temperature range, for the transceiver –30˚C to +60˚C, and
the battery itself –20˚C to +60˚C. Using the battery out of its
specified temperature range will reduce the battery’s perfor-
mance and battery life.

7
3BATTERY CHARGING
DBattery caution (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) for an extended pe-
riod 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 remaining capacity is
about half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the
temperature range as below:
–20˚C to +50˚C (within a month)
–20˚C to +40˚C (within three months)
BE SURE to replace the battery pack with a new one ap-
proximately 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 oper-
ating time of the transceiver may become short when:
• Approximately five years have passed since the battery was
manufactured.
• The battery has been repeatedly charged.
DCharging caution
RDANGER! 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.
RWARNING! NEVER 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.
RWARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery at-
tached 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: NEVER charge the battery outside of the speci-
fied temperature range: +10˚C to +40˚C. Icom recommends
charging the battery at +20˚C. The battery may heat up or
rupture if charged out of the specified temperature range. Ad-
ditionally, battery performance or battery life may be reduced.
