EXPLICIT DEFENITIONS
WORD DEFINITION
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.
Icom is not responsible for the destruction, damage to, or
performance of any Icom or non-Icom equipment, if the
malfunction is because of:
• Force majeure, including, but not limited to, fires, earth-
quakes, storms, floods, lightning, other natural disasters,
disturbances, riots, war, or radioactive contamination.
• The use of Icom transceivers with any equipment that is
not manufactured or approved by Icom.

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC out-
let. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a light-
ning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or
damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power souce
and antenna before a storm.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power
source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This
could damage the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable between the
DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made
after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.
RWARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where normal
operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could
cause bodily injury.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or
any liquids.
CAUTION: CONFIRM that all connectors and jacks are dry
and clean before attachment. Exposing them to dust or water
will result in serious damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or
in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the vehicle’s
engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out when the
transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine is OFF.
DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in excessively dusty
environments.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. Otherwise heat
dissipation will be obstructed.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver’s surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operat-
ing continuously for long periods.
USE the specified microphone only. Other microphones have
different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.
Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent
use by unauthorized persons.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION! Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not
expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to
operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

2BASIC OPERATION
■Call procedure
When your system employs tone signaling (excluding CTCSS
and DTCS), a call procedure may be necessary prior to voice
transmission. The tone signalling employed may be a selec-
tive calling system which allows you to call specific station(s)
only and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you.
qSelect the desired TX code channel, 2/5-Tone code ac-
cording to your System Operator’s instructions.
• This may not be necessary depending on programming.
• Refer to pages. 10–11 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 fashion.
Selective calling Non-selective calling
■Receiving and transmitting
Receiving:
qHold down [ ] for 1 second to turn the power ON.
wPush [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select a channel.
eWhen receiving a call, rotate [VOL] to adjust the audio out-
put level to a comfortable listening level.
NOTE: Depending on the preprogramming, the transceiv-
er automatically transmits the microphone audio for the
specified time period* when a matched RX code signal is
received.
• HM-148G or HM-152 hand microphone is required.
* Depending on the preprogramming. Ask your dealer for details.
Transmitting:
Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference.
qTake the microphone off hook.
• The ‘audible’ condition may be selected.
• A priority channel may be selected automatically.
wWait for the channel to become clear.
• The channel is busy when BUSY indicator lights green.
eWhile holding down [PTT], speak into the microphone at
your normal voice level.
rRelease [PTT] to return to receive.
IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your signal;
1. Pause briefly after pushing [PTT].
2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from
your mouth, then speak into the microphone at a normal
voice level.
