Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock

Recommended for optimum use. No risk of

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
(2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is verti-
cal.
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 or discontinue use.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is
DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will
be protected by this fuse, but higher fuse values will not give
any protection against such accidents and the transceiver will
be ruined.
NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be
aware that external DC power connections will charge batter-
ies inside the battery case. This will damage not only the bat-
tery case but also the transceiver.
DO NOTpush the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-
mit.
Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by
children.
DO NOToperate the transceiver near unshielded electrical
blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14˚F) or above
+60°C (+140˚F).
The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair
transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still
flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from
the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise,
the battery pack or installed Ni-Cd batteries will become ex-
hausted.
For USA 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.

CAUTION
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic en-
ergy is within the FCC allowable limits, always adhere to
the following guidelines:
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna at-
tached, 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 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 “TX indica-
tor” is lit. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing
the “PTT” switch.
• ALWAYS use Icom authorized accessories (antennas, bat-
teries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized
accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded.
• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away
from the body when transmitting, and only use the Icom
belt-clips which are listed in this manual when attaching the
radio to your belt, etc. To provide the recipients of your
transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at
least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one
side.
The information listed above provides the user with the
information needed to make him or her aware of RF ex-
posure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates
within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. Electro-
magnetic Interference/Compatibility. During transmis-
sions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can
possibly cause interference with other devices or sys-
tems. 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 electromag-
netic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting
sites.

DBattery pack replacement
Before replacing the battery pack, push [PWR] for 1 sec. to
turn the power OFF.
•Slide the battery release forward, then pull the battery pack upward
with the transceiver facing away from you.
DBattery case— optional for some versions
When using a BP-208N BATTERY CASE attached to the trans-
ceiver, install 6 AA (LR6) size alkaline batteries as illustrated
below.
DCharging with the BC-144N/146
The optional BC-144N provides rapid charging, and the BC-
146 provides regular charging of an optional battery pack
with/without transceiver. The following is additionally required:
• An optional AC adapter. (An AD-99N is supplied with BC-144N or
BC-146.)
Check orientation
for correct charg-
ing. (Insert together
with AD-99N.)
Turn power OFF.

Attach the spacer (Spacer B/C) to the adapter (Spacer A) with
orientation as illustrated in the diagram below.
• Attach the spacer (Spacer B/C) to the adapter with the orientation of
the stamp “ ” pointing up.
When removing the spacer (Spacer B/C), push the notch care-
fully with your finger to remove the spacer (Spacer B/C) from
the adapter (Spacer A).
RCAUTION!
DO NOT push or force the notch with a screw driver, etc., to
remove it.
DO NOT bend the notch when the adapter and spacer are not
joined together. This will cause weakening of the notch plastic.
Both cases may break the notch and it may not be able to be
reattached.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
■Your first contact
Now that you have your IC-V82 ready, you are exited to get
on the air. We would like to walk you through a few basic op-
erational steps to make your first “On The Air” use an enjoy-
able experience.
DAbout default setting
The [VOL] control function can be traded with [YY]/[ZZ]keys func-
tion in
INITIAL SET MODE . However, in this QUICK REFERENCE,
the factory default setting ([VOL] controls audio output level) is
used for simple instructions.
DBasic operation
1. Turning ON the transceiver
Although you have purchased a brand new transceiver, some
settings may be changed from the factory defaults because
of the QC process. Resetting the CPU is necessary to start
from factory default.
➥While pushing [MONI] and
[D•
CLR ], push [PWR] for 1 sec. to
reset the CPU and turn power ON.
2. Adjusting sudio output level
➥Rotate [VOL] to set the desired
audio level.
3. Adjusting the squelch level
➥While pushing and holding
[MONI], push [YY]or [ZZ]to set the
squelch level.
4. Tune the desired frequency
The up/down keys, [YY]/[ZZ], will
allow you to tune the frequency that
you want to operate on. Page 14 will
instruct you on how to adjust the tun-
ing step.
➥
Push [YY]or [ZZ]to adjust the fre-
quency.

Direct frequency input from the key-
pad is also available.
➥To enter the desired frequency,
enter 6-digits starting from the
100 MHz digit.
•Enter three* to five digits then push-
ing [✱• ENT ]is also set the fre-
quency. (*Some versions are
available from two digits.)
•When a digit is mistakenly input,
push [D. CLR ]to abort to input.
5. Transmit and receive
➥Push and hold [PTT] to transmit, then speak into the mi-
crophone; release to receive.
■Repeater operation
1. Setting duplex
➥Push [A• FUNC ], then [4• DUP ]sev-
eral times to select minus duplex
or plus duplex.
•The USA version has an auto re-
peater function, therefore, setting du-
plex is not required.
2. Repeater tone
➥Push [A• FUNC ], then [1• TONE ]
several times until “ ” appears, if
required.

desired settings, such as repeater and subaudible tone.
2. Selecting a memory channel
➥Push [A• FUNC ], [C• MR ]then push
[YY] or [ZZ]several times to select
the desired memory channel.
