READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before
using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This manual contains
important safety and operating instructions for the IC-F3,
IC-F3S,
IC-F4 and IC-F4S.
CAUTIONS
NEVER allow the antenna to come close to, or touch, ex-
posed body parts, especially the face or eyes while transmit-
ting.
NEVER disassemble the transceiver. Incorrect reassembly
may result in a fire hazard or electric shock.
NEVER operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical
blasting caps or in an explosive area.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzene or al-
cohol when cleaning—use a water-dampened cloth only.
For U.S.A. only
Caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not ex-
pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to
operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

Non-selective calling
Selective calling
■Call procedure
When your system employs tone signalling (excluding
CTCSS and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary
prior to voice transmission. The tone signalling employed may
be a selective calling system which allows you to call specific
station(s) only and prevent unwanted stations from contact-
ing you.
qSelect the desired Tx code channel or 5-tone code ac-
cording to your System Operator’s instructions.
•This may not be necessary depending on programming.
•Refer to the next page for selection.
wPush the call switch (assigned to one of the dealer pro-
grammable switches: [P0], [P1], [P2], [P3], [A], [B], [C], [D],
[Ω], [ ] and [ ––]).
eAfter transmitting a 5-TONE code, the remainder of your
communication can be carried out in the normal fashion.
■Receiving and transmitting
NOTE: Transmitting without an antenna may damage the
transceiver. See p.1 for antenna attachment.
Turn power ON as described on p.1.
Receiving:
qPush [Y]/[Z] to select a channel.
wListen for a transmission and adjust [VOL] to a comfortable
listening level.
•When no transmission is heard, push and hold monitor while ad-
justing [VOL] (your transceiver may not be programmed with the
monitor function).
The transceiver is now set to receive desired calls on the se-
lected channel.
Transmitting:
Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference.
eWhile pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the micro-
phone at a normal voice level.
•When a tone signalling system is used, the call procedure de-
scribed at right may be necessary.
rRelease [PTT] to return to receive.
IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your trans-
mitted signal, pause a few secs. after pushing [PTT], hold
the microphone 10 to 15 cm from your mouth and speak
at a normal voice level.

tion. In this case, you can choose a Tx code channel to be
transmitted when using the call function (p.7).
Push the Tx code channel switch (assigned to one of the
dealer-programmable switches) to activate the function, then
enter digits via the keypad to select the desired Tx code
channel.
•The selected code channel (containing a pre-programmed 5-tone
code) is transmitted when using the call function.
■Manual 5-tone codes
Depending on programming, you may be able to send 5-tone
codes manually.
Push the Tx code switch to activate the function, then enter
the desired transmit code (up to 7 digits) using the keypad.
•Activate the call function to transmit the 5-tone code.

■Battery pack replacement
Before replacing the battery pack, the volume control MUST
be rotated fully counterclockwise, until a click is heard, to turn
the power OFF.
•TO REMOVE the battery pack from the transceiver:
Push and hold the battery release downwards, then pull the
battery pack upwards with the transceiver facing you.
•TO ATTACH the battery pack to the transceiver:
Mate the notched ends of the battery pack and the trans-
ceiver, and push the battery pack until it clicks into place.
■Battery cautions
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 attaching it to
the transceiver.
NEVER short terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may
flow into nearby metal objects so be careful when placing bat-
tery packs in handbags, etc.
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 very little), a
new battery pack must be purchased.
DRecycling information (U.S.A. only)
The product that you have purchased contains a
rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At
the end of its life, under various state and local
laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery
into the municipal waste stream. Call 1-800-8-BATTERY for
battery recycling options in your area or contact your dealer.

■Battery case
When using a BP-194 OPTIONAL BATTERY CASE attached to
the transceiver, install 8 AA (R6) size alkaline or Ni-Cd bat-
teries as illustrated below.
DBattery case cautions
When installing Ni-Cd batteries:
•Make sure all Ni-Cd cells are the same brand, type and ca-
pacity.
•Never mix old and new batteries.
Either of the above may cause a fire hazard or damage the
transceiver.
When installing dry cell or alkaline batteries:
•Never connect DC power to the transceiver. Such a con-
nection always charges the installed batteries and will dam-
age the transceiver.
For both Ni-Cd and dry cell batteries:
•Never incinerate used battery cells since internal battery gas
may cause them to rupture.
•Never expose a detached battery case to water.
If the battery case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before
using.

■Battery charging
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-119/BC-
121 for rapid charging) only. NEVER use other manufactur-
ers’chargers.
•An optional cable OPC-254L (for 13.8 V power source) or
CP-12L (for 12 V cigarette lighter socket) can be used in-
stead of the AC adapters supplied with the above chargers.
When using the BC-119: If the charge indicator flashes
orange, the vehicle battery voltage is low and charging
may not be performed. Check the vehicle battery voltage
in this case. If the charge indicator flashes red, there may
be a problem with the battery pack (or charger). Re-insert
the battery pack or contact your dealer.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn it
OFF while charging.
DDRapid charging with the BC-119
The optional BC-119 provides rapid charging of optional Ni-
Cd battery packs.
The following are additionally required:
•One AD-81.
•An AC adapter (may be supplied with the BC-119 depending
on version).

■Optional battery pack
The optional BP-195 or BP-196 battery packs include
rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries 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:
1. Avoid over charging. The charging period should be less
than 48 hours.
2. Use the battery until it becomes almost completely ex-
hausted under normal conditions. We recommend battery
charging after transmitting becomes impossible.
DDBattery pack life
When the operating period becomes extremely short even
after charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is
needed.
DCharging with an optional cables
The optional CP-12L CIGARETTE LIGHTER CABLE with noise
filter or OPC-254L DC POWER CABLE with a 12 to 16 V DC
power source can also be used to charge the battery packs
(except the BP-194 with installed dry cell or alkaline batter-
ies).
Connect an optional charger or cable to the transceiver as il-
lustrated below. Be careful of battery overcharging as the
connected battery is charged simultaneously.
CAUTION: Even if the power source has enough capacity,
the [CHARGE] jack can be used for charging purposes
only. You can not operate the transceiver without an inter-
nal power source.
