PRECAUTIONS

  DANGER! NEVER operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. This could cause an explosion and death.

DANGER! NEVER charge Icom transceivers with non-Icom chargers. Only Icom transceivers are tested and approved for charged with Icom chargers. Using thirdparty or counterfeit chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.

WARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Caution should be observed when operating this device. If you have any questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards, please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).

WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that it is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.

WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This could cause an electric shock or damage the transceiver.

WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with earphones, 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 in your ears, reduce a volume level or discontinue use.

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention— anything less may result in an accident.

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 operate the transceiver unless the jack cap and connector cover are securely attached to the transceiver. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to dust or water will result in serious damage to the transceiver. After exposure to water, clean the transceiver thoroughly with fresh water and dry it completely to remove any water or salt residue.

CAUTION: DO NOT use or leave the transceiver in areas with temperatures below –10°C (14°F) or above +60°C (140°F), or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.

NEVER leave the transceiver in an insecure place to avoid use by unauthorized persons

DO NOT push [PTT] unless you actually intend to transmit.

DO NOT modify the transceiver. The specifications may change and then the transceiver may not comply with the requirements of required regulations. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver may become hot after continuously transmitting for long periods of time.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets IP67/IP54* requirements for dust-tight and waterproof protection. However, once the transceiver has been dropped, or the waterproof seal is cracked or damaged, dust-tight and waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked or the waterproof seal damaged, and so on.

• Only when the jack cap and connector cover are attached.

Battery caution

Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery performance.

DANGER! NEVER incinerate a used transceiver. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion.

DANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise impact the transceiver. Do not use the transceiver if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the transceiver has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface of the transceiver does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may rupture or catch fire.

  DANGER! NEVER leave the transceiver in places with temperatures above 60°C (140°F). High temperature buildup in the battery cells, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause the battery cells to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade the transceiver’s performance or shorten the battery cell’s life.

DANGER! NEVER place the transceiver near a fire. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery pack in accordance with local regulations.

DANGER! NEVER solder the charging terminals, or NEVER modify the transceiver. This may cause heat generation, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fire.

DANGER! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery get in your eyes. This can cause blindness. Rinse your eyes  with clean water, without rubbing them, and immediately go to a doctor.

WARNING! NEVER let fluid from inside the battery cells come in contact with your body. If it does, immediately wash with clean water.

WARNING! NEVER put the transceiver in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery cells to rupture.
WARNING! NEVER use a deteriorated transceiver. It could cause a fire.

CAUTION: DO NOT use the transceiver out of the specified temperature range, –10°C ~ +60°C (14°F ~ 140°F). Using the transceiver out of its specified temperature range will reduce its performance and battery cell’s life.

CAUTION: DO NOT leave the transceiver fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment for an extended period of time. You may use the transceiver until the remaining battery capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool and dry place.

CAUTION: DO NOT continue to use the transceiver if it emits an abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distributor.

BE SURE to have the battery replaced with a new one approximately five years after manufacturing, even if it still holds a charge. The material inside the battery cells will become weak after a period of time, even with little use. The estimated number of times you can charge the transceiver is between 300 and 500. Even when the transceiver appears to be fully charged, the operating time of the transceiver may become short when:

• Approximately 5 years have passed since the battery was manufactured.
• The battery has been repeatedly charged.

Contact your Icom’s local service shop or authorized Icom dealer about the battery replacement.

Charging caution

DANGER! NEVER charge the transceiver in areas with extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight.

WARNING! NEVER charge the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power adapter before a storm.

WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the transceiver in the battery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the transceiver is not completely charged by the specified time, stop charging and remove the transceiver from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the transceiver beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rupture.

WARNING! Occasionally observe the transceiver condition while charging. If any abnormal condition occurs, discontinue using the transceiver.

CAUTION: DO NOT insert 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 waterproof.

NOTE: DO NOT charge the transceiver outside of the specified temperature range: 20°C ~ 45°C (68°F ~ 113°F). Otherwise, the charging time will be longer, but the battery will not reach a full charge. While charging, at a point after the temperature goes out of the specified range, the charging will automatically stop.

Bluetooth® INTERFERENCE

Bluetooth uses the 2.4 GHz band. When using the transceiver in the 2.4 GHz band near a Bluetooth device, interference may occur. This may cause a decrease in communication speed, and an unstable connection. In such case, use the transceiver away from the Bluetooth device communication area, or stop using the Bluetooth device.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the  microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have  not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. This device has been tested and found to comply with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
