RADIO OPERATOR WARNING

Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy

during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and clas-

sified as “General Population Use” in an uncontrolled

environment.

This radio has been evaluated for compliance at the dis-

tance of 2.5 cm (1 inch) with the FCC and IC RF exposure

limits for “

General Population Use.

” In addition, your Icom

radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines

with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy lev-

els and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:

• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 01-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compli-

ance 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 Fre-

quency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recom-

mended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Elec-

tromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.

allowable limits for general

population use, always adhere to the following guide-

lines:

• 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

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 “transmit indicator” appears on

the LCD. 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 clip which is listed

OPERATING RULES

New2001

D Priorities

• Read all rules and regulations pertaining to call priorities,

and keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and distress

calls take priority over all others.

• You must monitor Channel 16 when you are not operating

on another channel.

• False or fraudulent distress calls are prohibited under

law.

D Privacy

• Information overheard, but not intended for you, cannot

lawfully be used in any way.

• Indecent or profane language is prohibited.

D Radio licenses

(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE

You may require a current radio station license before us-

ing the transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship station

which is not licensed, but required to be.

If required, contact your dealer or the appropriate govern-

ment agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license applica-

tion. This government-issued license states the call sign

which is your craft’s identication for radio purposes.

(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE

A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license

most often held by small vessel radio operators when a ra-

dio is not required for safety purposes.

If required, the Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit

must be posted or kept with the operator. If required, only

a licensed radio operator may operate a transceiver.

However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a trans-

ceiver if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends the

call and makes the necessary log entries.

A current copy of the applicable government rules and reg-

ulations is only required to be on hand for vessels in which

a radio telephone is compulsory. However, even if you are

not required to have these on hand it is your responsibility

to be thoroughly acquainted with all pertinent rules and

regulations.

NOTE: Even though the transceiver is capable of op-

eration on VHF marine channels 3, 21, 23, 61, 64, 81,

82 and 83, according to FCC regulations these simplex

channels cannot be lawfully used by the general popu-

lation in USA waters.

■ Battery cautions

Misuse of Lithium-ion batteries may result in the follow-

ing hazards: smoke, re, or battery rupture.

Misuse can also cause other battery damage or degrada-

tion of battery performance.

• R DANGER! Use and charge only specied Icom battery

pack with Icom transceiver. Only Icom battery pack is

tested and approved for use with Icom transceiver. Us-

ing third-party or counterfeit battery packs may cause

smoke, re, or cause the battery to burst.

D Battery caution

• R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the

battery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely im-

pacted 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 in-

side the battery may rupture or catch re.

• R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas

with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High tempera-

ture buildup in the battery, such as could occur near res

or stoves, inside a sun-heated car, or by setting the bat-

tery in direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture

or catch re. 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. The battery by itself is not waterproof.

• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate a used battery pack since

internal battery gas may cause a rupture or explosion.

• R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or

NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat

generation, and the battery may rupture, emit smoke or

catch re.

• R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for

which it is specied. Never use a battery with any other

equipment, or for any purpose that is not specied in this

instruction manual.

• R DANGER! If uid from inside the battery gets in your

eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean

water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immedi-

ately.

• R WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it

emits an abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or de-

formed. 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 uid from

inside the battery.

BATTERY CHARGING

New2001

• R WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave

oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating

cooker. This could cause overheating, a re, or cause the

battery to rupture.

• CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specied

temperature range for the transceiver*

and the battery

itself (–20˚C to +60˚C; –4˚F to +140˚F).

* EXP/USA : –20˚C to +60˚C; –4˚F to +140˚F

CHN/EUR/FRG/HOL/UK : –15˚C to +55˚C; +5˚F to +131˚F

AUS : –10˚C to +55˚C; +14˚F to +131˚F

Using the battery out of its specied temperature range

will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life.

Please note that the specied temperature range of the

battery may exceed that of the transceiver. In such cases,

the transceiver 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 ex-

cessive 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 with the temperature range as below;

–20˚C to +50˚C (–4˚F to +122˚F) (within a month)

–20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F) (within three months)

–20˚C to +20˚C (–4˚F to +68˚F) (within a year)

D Charging caution

• R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas

with extremely high temperatures, such as near res or

stoves, inside a sun-heated car, or in direct sunlight. In

such environments, the safety/protection circuit in the

battery will activate, causing the battery to stop charg-

ing.

• R WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the

battery charger beyond the specied time for charging.

If the battery is not completely charged by the specied

time, stop charging and remove the battery from the bat-

tery charger. Continuing to charge the battery beyond

the specied time limit may cause a re, overheating, or

the battery may rupture.

• R WARNING! NEVER insert the battery and transceiver

(battery attached to the transceiver) into the charger if it

is wet or soiled. This could corrode the battery charger

terminals or damage the charger. The charger is not wa-

terproof.

• CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery outside of the

specied temperature range: +10˚C to +40˚C (+50˚F to

+104˚F). Icom recommends charging the battery at +20˚C

(+68˚F). The battery may heat up or rupture if charged out

of the specied temperature range. Additionally, battery

performance or battery life may be reduced.
