What to do if Icom IP501H does not turn on?
- L
  Lisa LeeAug 18, 2025
  If your Icom Radio does not power on, there could be several reasons. First, ensure the battery pack is correctly connected and clean the battery pack terminals. If that doesn't work, the battery may be exhausted and needs charging. Alternatively, the battery pack’s over-discharge protection circuitry might be activated; in this case, remove the battery pack, charge it for a while, reattach it, and then try turning the power on again.

Why is the charging indicator blinking orange on my Icom Radio?

  Brenda JohnsonAug 21, 2025
  If the charging indicator on your Icom Radio blinks orange, or alternately blinks orange and green, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure the battery pack is properly inserted. It may also be that you are charging the battery pack outside of the chargeable temperature range (10°C to 40°C (+50°F to +104°F)). Another potential cause is a loose connection of charging transceivers, so you may need to clean the charger terminals. Lastly, make sure the transceiver power is OFF while charging.

  If pairing fails on your Icom Radio, first ensure the transceiver is in Pairing mode. If it still fails, there may be other active Bluetooth devices nearby, so stop using them.

Why does my Icom Radio call get suddenly cut off?

  Shelly CobbSep 6, 2025
  If your Icom Radio call is suddenly cut off or you hear noise, especially when using a Bluetooth headset, you may be too far from the Bluetooth device. Get closer to the Bluetooth device; the communication range of Bluetooth is approximately 10 meters (33 feet). Also, electromagnetic interference from other electronic devices could be the cause. Try using the transceiver away from other devices, or stop using those devices.
