W ARNING
Your Icom radio generates RF
electromagnetic energy during transmit
mode. This radio is designed for and
classified as “Occupational Use Only”,
meaning 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 and IC 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 OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C,
•
Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992),
•
IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3
kHz to 300 GHz.
American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992),
•
IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of
Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and
Microwave.
The antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker-microphone,
•
and other accessories that are listed in “OPTIONS” of the
INSTRUCTIONS sheet, are authorized for use with this
product. Use of accessories other than those specified
may result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC and
IC requirements for wireless RF exposure.
CAU TION
To ensure that your expose to RF
electromagnetic energy is within the FCC
and IC allowable limits for occupational
use, always adhere to the following
guidelines:
DO NOT
•
operate the radio without a proper antenna
attached, as this may damaged the radio and may also
cause you to exceed FCC and IC RF exposure limits. A
proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by
the manufacturer or 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 and IC RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting
when the LED indicator lights red. You can cause the
radio to transmit by pressing 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-clips listed in “OPTIONS” of the INSTRUCTIONS
sheet when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure
FCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements
are not exceeded. 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
exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates
with the FCC and IC 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 consequence of their employment provided
those persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure
and can exercise control over their exposure.

Battery caution
•
Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following
hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse
can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of
battery performance.
R
DANGER! NEVER
short terminals (or charging
terminals) of the battery pack. Also, current may flow into
nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful
when placing battery packs (or the radio) in handbags, etc.
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as
a necklace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not
only the battery pack, but also the radio.
R
DANGER! DO NOT
hammer or otherwise impact the
battery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely
impacted or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected
to heavy pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on
the outside of the case. Even if the surface of the battery
does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside
the battery may rupture or catch fire.
R
DANGER! NEVER
use or leave battery pack in
areas with temperatures above +60°C (+140°F). High
temperature buildup in the battery, such as could occur
near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in
direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture or catch
fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery
performance or shorten battery life.
R
DANGER! DO NOT
expose the battery to rain, snow,
seawater, 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.
R
DANGER! KEEP
battery packs away from fire. Fire or
heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of
used battery packs in accordance with local regulations.
R
DANGER! NEVER
solder the battery terminals, or
NEVER
modify the battery pack. This may cause heat
generation, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch
fire.
R
DANGER!
Use the battery only with the radio for
which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other
equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this
instruction manual.
R
DANGER!
If fluid from inside the battery gets in your
eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean
water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.
R
WARNING!
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.
R
WARNING!
Immediately wash, using clean water, any
part of the body that comes into contact with fluid from
inside the battery.
R
WARNING! 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
temperature range, for the radio –25°C to +55°C (–13°F to
+131°F): ETS version, –30°C to +60°C (–22°F to +140°F):
TIA version, and the battery itself –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. Please note that the specified temperature range of
the battery may exceed that of the radio. In such cases,
the radio may not work properly because it is out of its
operating temperature range.
CAUTION:
Shorter battery life could occur if the battery
is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an
excessive temperature 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. You may use the battery until the
remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a
cool dry place at the following temperature range:
–20°C (–4°F) to +50°C (+122°F) (within a month)
–20°C (–4°F) to +40°C (+104°F) (within three months)
–20°C (–4°F) to +20°C (+68°F) (within a year)
BE SURE
to replace the battery with a new one after
five years, even if still holds a charge. The inside battery
material will deteriorate after a period of time, even with
little use.
Charging caution
•
R
DANGER! NEVER
charge the battery pack in areas with
extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves,
inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such
environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will
activate, causing the battery to stop charging.
R
WARNING! NEVER
charge or leave the battery in the
battery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If
the battery is not completely charged by the specified time,
stop charging 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.
R
WARNING! NEVER
insert the radio (battery attached
to the radio) 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.
NOTE:
Charge the battery within the specified temperature
range of +10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F). Otherwise,
the charging time will be longer, but the battery will not
reach a full charge. While charging, at a point after the
temperature goes out of the specified range, the charging
will automatically stop.
