EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
WORD DEFINITION
RDANGER! Personal death, serious injury or an explo-
sion may occur.
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.

rated (Japan) in Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France,

PRECAUTIONS
RDANGER! NEVER short terminals of the battery pack. Also,
current may flow into nearby metal objects such as a key, so be
careful when placing the battery packs (or the transceiver) in hand-
bags, etc. Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such
as a key, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not only the
battery pack, but also the transceiver.
RDANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom bat-
tery packs with Icom transceivers or Icom chargers. Only Icom
battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom transceiv-
ers or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit
battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the bat-
tery 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. The continuous
high volume operation may cause a ringing in your ears. If you ex-
perience the ringing, 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, 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 dam-
age to the transceiver.

iii
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blast-
ing caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to transmit.
DO NOT operate or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C.
DO NOT modify the transceiver. The specifications may change
and then not comply with the requirements of a corresponded
regulation. 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.
KEEP the transceiver away from heavy rain, and never immerse
it in the 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 because of possible damage to the transceiver’s
case or the waterproof seal.
* Only when the battery pack/case and jack cover are attached.
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 will be-
come exhausted, and will need to be recharged or replaced.
MAKE SURE to turn OFF the transceiver power before connect-
ing the supplied/optional equipment.

■Turning power ON
Prior to using the transceiver for the first
time, the battery pack must be fully charged
for optimum life and operation. (p. 23)
➥ Rotate [VOL] to turn power ON.
D Battery type selection
The battery type must be selected according to the battery pack or
case when it is changed, but only the first time it is used.
Check the battery type before you begin the selection procedure.
One to three beep(s) sound in sequence, so you must repeat the
steps until the number of beeps matches your battery type.
For example, if your battery type is a Li-ion battery pack, you must
repeat the procedure until 1 beep is heard.
qSet
[ROTARY SELECTOR] to any
channel other than Channel 16.
w Rotate [VOL] to turn OFF the
transceiver power.
e While holding down [PTT], rotate
[VOL] to turn ON the power.
• You should hold [PTT] until the bat-
tery type confirmation beeps sound.
(It takes approximately 5 seconds;
while holding down [PTT], the count
down beeps sound. After that, the confirmation beeps sound.)
• 1 beep sounds when the Li-ion battery is selected.
• 2 beeps sound when the battery case is selected.
• 3 beeps sound when the Ni-MH battery is selected.
rAfter the beep sounds, release [PTT].
t Repeat steps wto runtil you select the correct battery type.
NOTE: This operation may not be available, depending on the
presetting. Ask your dealer for details.

■Channel selection
Several types of channel selecting methods are available. They
may differ, according to your system set up.
To select a desired operating channel, do one of the following.
• Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR].
• Push one of memory channel keys, [MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4].
AUTOMATIC SCAN TYPE:
Selecting a channel is not necessary for this type. When turning the
power ON, the transceiver automatically starts scanning. Scanning
stops when a call is received.
NOTE: If the Move to Priority A channel at Power ON function
(p. 20) is turned ON, the transceiver does not start scanning at
power ON.

■Call procedure
When your system employs tone signalling (excluding CTCSS and
DTCS), the tone call procedure may be necessary prior to voice
transmission.The tone signalling that is employed in the transceiver
may be a selective calling system, which allows you to call only
specific station(s), and prevent unwanted stations from contacting
you.
qSelect a desired TX code channel or 2/5-Tone code, according
to your System Operator’s instructions.
• This may not be necessary, depending on programming.
wPush [Call] (assigned to one of the dealer programmable keys.)
(p. 10)
eAfter transmitting a 2/5-Tone code, the remainder of your com-
munication can be carried out normally.

■Receiving and transmitting
CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna will damage the
transceiver. See p. 1 for antenna attachment.
Receiving:
qRotate [VOL] to turn power ON.
wRotate [ROTARY SELECTOR], or push one of the memory chan-
nel keys, [MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4], to select a channel.
eWhen receiving a call, adjust the audio output to a comfortable
listening level.
NOTE: When a matched RX code signal is received, audio from
the microphone is automatically transmitted for a specified time
period.*
* Depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for details.
Transmitting:
Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference.
qWhile pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the microphone at
a normal voice level.
wRelease [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 from your mouth, then speak
into the microphone at a normal voice level.
