Precautions
R
DANGER! 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.
R
WARNING! 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.
R
WARNING! 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
experience the ringing, reduce the volume
level or discontinue use.
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
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.
CAUTION: DO NOT
place or leave
the transceiver in excessively dusty
environments. This could damage the
transceiver.
DO NOT
place or leave the transceiver in
direct sunlight or in areas outside of the
specified temperature range:
IC-A16: –10°C (–14˚F) ~ +60°C (+140˚F)

The transceiver meets:
IP67/IP54* requirements (IP67: Dust
tight and waterproof protection, IP54:

waterproof seal damaged, and so on.
* Only when the jack cover or the optional
speaker microphone is attached.
