RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Caution should be observed
when operating this device. If you have any questions regard-
ing RF exposure and safety standards, please refer to the
Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering
and Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC
Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic
Fields (OET Bulletin 65).
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 or touch the trans-

may damage the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with
an earphone, headphones or other audio accessories at high
volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous
high volume operation. 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.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a
power source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity.
This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna and

Exposing the inside of the transceiver to water will result in
serious damage to the transceiver.
After exposure to water, clean the battery contacts thoroughly
with fresh water and dry them completely to remove any wa-
ter or salt residue.
PRECAUTIONS
13
New2001 New2001
CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as ben-
zine or alcohol to clean the transceiver, because they can
damage the transceiver’s surfaces.
DO NOT push the PTT unless you actually intend to trans-
mit.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-
cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight
or in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4˚F) or above
+60°C (+140˚F).
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods of time.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets IPX7* require-
ments for waterproof protection. However, once the trans-
ceiver has been dropped, waterproof protection cannot be
guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceiver's
case or waterproof seal.
* Only when the BP-271 or BP-272 (option), flexible antenna,
[MIC/SP] cap, [DATA/DC IN] cap and [micro SD] slot cap
are attached.
Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by
children.
The BP-273 meets IPX4 requirements for splash resistance.
When it is connected, the transceiver corresponds to IPX4.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still

temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature build-
up in the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves,
inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the
battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may
also degrade battery performance or shorten battery life.
RDANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, sea-
water, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery.
If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using.

RDANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for
which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other equip-
ment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruc-
tion manual.
RDANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes,
blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, with-
out rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.
RWARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits
an abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If
any of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or
distributor.
RWARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part
of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the
battery.

RWARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven,
HIGHPRESSURE CONTAINER OR IN AN INDUCTION HEATING COOKER
This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to
rupture.
CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified tem-
perature range, –20˚C to +60˚C (–4˚F to +140˚F). Using the
battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the
battery’s performance and battery life.
CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left
fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive tem-
perature environment (above +50˚C; +122˚F) for an extended
period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long
time, it must be detached from the radio after discharging.

extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves,
inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such en-
vironments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will ac-

R
WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the bat-
tery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the bat-
tery is not completely charged by the specified time, stop charg-
ing and remove the battery from the battery charger. Continuing
to charge the battery beyond the specified time limit may cause
a fire, overheating, or the battery may rupture.
RWARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery at-
tached to the transceiver) into the charger if it is wet or soiled.
This could corrode the battery charger terminals or damage
the charger. The charger is not waterproof.
CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery outside of the speci-
fied temperature range: 0˚C to +40˚C (+32˚F to +104˚F).
Icom recommends charging the battery at +25˚C (+77˚F). The
battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified
temperature range. Additionally, battery performance or bat-
tery life may be reduced.
BE SURE to turn the transceiver power OFF while charg-
