ii

INTRODUCTION

RDANGER! NEVER operate the transceiver near

unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive

atmosphere. This could cause an explosion and

death.

RWARNING! 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 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.

RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with

earphones, 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 in your ears, reduce a volume

level or discontinue use.

CAUTION: DO NOT use or leave the transceiver in

excessively dusty environments. This could damage

the transceiver.

CAUTION: DO NOT 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.

CAUTION: DO NOT change the internal settings

of the equipment. This may reduce equipment

performance and/or cause extensive and expensive

damage to the equipment. The equipment warranty

does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized

internal adjustments.

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver unless

the flexible antenna, battery pack, and jack cover

are securely attached to the transceiver 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.

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver while

driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full

attention—anything less may result in an accident.

CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as

Benzine or alcohol when cleaning. This could damage

the equipment surfaces. If the surface becomes dusty

or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.

NOTE: DO NOT use or leave the transceiver in areas

with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above

+60°C (+140°F), or in areas subject to direct sunlight,

such as the dashboard.

DO NOT push PTT unless you actually intend to

transmit.

KEEP the transceiver away from heavy rain and

never immerse it in water. The transceiver meets

IP54* requirements for dust-protection and splash

resistance.

However, once the transceiver has been dropped,

dust-protection and splash resistance cannot be

guaranteed due to the fact that the transceiver may be

cracked or the waterproof seal damaged, and so on.

* Only when the battery pack and jack cover are

attached.

NEVER place the transceiver in an insecure place to

avoid inadvertent use by unauthorized persons.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver may become hot after

continuously transmitting for long periods of time.

Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight

current still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery

pack 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.

PRECAUTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Your Icom radio generates RF

electromagnetic energy while transmitting.

This radio is designed for and classified as

for “Occupational Use Only.” This means

it must be used only during the course of

employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and

the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT

intended for use by the “General Population” in an

uncontrolled environment.

This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC

RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In

addition, your Icom radio complies with the following

Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy

and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of

such levels for exposure to humans:

• FCC KDB Publication 447498 D03, Evaluating

Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human

Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic

Fields.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-

2019), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with

Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency

Electromagnetic Fields, 0 Hz to 300 GHz.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-

2002), IEEE Recommended Practice for

the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous

Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.

• The antenna, battery, belt clip, speaker-

microphone, and other accessories that are

listed in “OPTIONS” on this instruction manual,

are authorized for use with this product. Use

of accessories other than those specified may

result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC

requirements for wireless RF exposure.

To ensure that your expose to RF

electromagnetic energy is within the FCC

allowable limits for occupational use,

always adhere to the following guidelines:

• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper

antenna attached, as this may damage the radio

and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF

exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna

supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an

antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer

for use with this radio.

• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of the total

radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting

more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF

exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.

The radio is transmitting when the status indicator

lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by

pushing the “PTT” switch.

• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch)

away from the body when transmitting, and only

use the Icom belt-clip listed in “OPTIONS” on this

instruction manual when attaching the radio to your

belt, or other place, to ensure FCC RF exposure

compliance requirements are not exceeded.

The information listed above provides the user with

the information needed to make him or her aware of

RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio

operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this

radio.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF

energy that can possibly cause interference with other

devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn

OFF the radio in areas where signs are posted to

do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that

are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as

hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

Occupational/Controlled Use

The radio transmitter is used in situations in which

persons are exposed as a consequence of their

employment, provided those persons are fully aware

of the potential for exposure and can exercise control

over their exposure.
