L The above list does not guarantee the card’s performance.
L Throughout the rest of this document, the microSD
cards and microSDHC cards are simply called the
microSD card or the card.
NOTE:
• Before using the microSD card, thoroughly read
their instructions.
• If any of the following occur, the card’s data may be
corrupted or deleted.
- You remove the card from the transceiver while it
is still accessing the card.
- A power failure occurs, or the power cable is
disconnected, while accessing the card.
- You drop, impact, or vibrate the card.
• Do not touch the contacts of the card.
• The transceiver may take a longer time to recognize
a high capacity card.
• The card has a certain lifetime, so data reading or
writing may not be possible after using it for a long
period of time. In that case, use a new one.
We recommend you to make a backup of the data
onto another device.
• Icom will not be responsible for any damage caused
by data corruption on a card.

Inserting
Insert the microSD card

into the slot until it locks
in place, and makes a
‘click’ sound.
L Be sure to check the
card orientation before
inserting.
NOTE:
Before using a microSD card for the first time,
format it in the transceiver.
• Formatting a card erases all its data. Before
formatting any used card, back up its data onto
another device.
• After inserting or formatting, a special folder
on the card that you need for operations like
updating the firmware is created on the card.
IMPORTANT: Even if you have formatted a microSD
card, some data may remain in the card. When you
dispose the card, be sure to physically destroy it to
avoid unauthorized access to any data that remains.
