EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

ii
RDANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery
pack.
RDANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery
packs with Icom radios or Icom chargers. Only Icom battery
packs are tested and approved for use with Icom radios or
charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit
battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause
the battery to burst.
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 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 op-
eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the
volume level 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.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna, bat-
tery pack and jack cover are securely attached to the trans-
ceiver, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before
attachment. 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 electri-
cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT push [PTT] when not actually intending to transmit.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C.
The basic operations, transmission and reception of the trans-
ceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating tempera-
ture range. However, the LCD display may not be operate
correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of
operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.
DO NOT modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does
not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods of time.
PRECAUTIONS

iii
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets IP67 require-
ments for dust-tight and waterproof protection. However, once
the transceiver has been dropped, dust-tight and waterproof
protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible dam-
age to the transceiver’s case or the waterproof seal.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still
flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or batteries from
the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise,
the installed battery pack or batteries will become exhausted,
and will need to be recharged or replaced.
MAKE SURE to turn OFF the transceiver power before
connecting the supplied/optional equipment.
PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
For IC-F4262
• The GPS receiver may not work if the transceiver transmits
near the 510 MHz. This is made in the internal circuit and
does not indicate a transceiver malfunction.

Call procedure■
When your system employs tone signaling, excluding CTCSS
and DTCS, this call procedure may be necessary prior to
voice transmission. The tone signaling employed may be a
selective calling system which allows you to call only specific
station(s) and prevents unwanted stations from contacting
you.
qSelect the desired TX code channel or 2/5-tone code ac-
cording to your System operator’s instructions.
• This may not be necessary, depending on the presetting.
• Refer to pages 16 or 17 for selection.
wPush [Call], assigned to one of the dealer programmable
keys.
eAfter transmitting, the remainder of your communication
can be carried out in the normal way.
Selective calling Non-selective calling

from the microphone may be automatically transmitted for
a specified time period.*
* Depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for details.
