R DANGER! NEVER
short the terminals of the bat-
tery pack.
R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom bat-
tery packs with Icom radios or Icom chargers. Only Icom bat-
tery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom radios
or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or coun-
terfeit 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. The
transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 2 to 4 in. (5
to 10 cm) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with
a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op-
eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the
volume level or discontinue use.
CAUTION: NEVER operate the transceiver while driv-
ing a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—any-
thing less may result in an accident.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna and
battery pack are securely attached to the transceiver, and
that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment.
Exposing the inside of the transceiver to water will result in
serious damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT push [PTT] when not actually intending to transmit.
DO NOT modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty
does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modi-
fication.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below +22°F (–30°C) or above
+140°F (+60°C).
The basic operations, transmission and reception of the
transceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating
temperature range. However, the LCD display may not oper-
ate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours
of operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-
cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.
KEEP the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and Never
immerse it in the water. The transceiver meets IP55* require-
ments for dust-protection and water jet resistance.
However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dust-pro-
tection and water jet resistance cannot be guaranteed due
to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the water-
proof seal damaged, etc.
* Only when the supplied battery pack, flexible antenna and connec-
tor cover are attached.
