This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the condition
that this device does not cause harmful interference.
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy
during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and
classified as “Occupational Use Only”, meaning it must
be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize
W ARN ING
such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the
“General Population” in an uncontrolled environment.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC
RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only”. In addition, your Icom
radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard
to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such
levels for exposure to humans:
• F CC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating
Compliance 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 Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous
Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.
• The following accessories are authorized for use with this product.
Use of accessories other than those specified may result in RF
exposure levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF
exposure.; Belt Clip (MB-94), Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack (BP230N/BP-232N/BP-232H) and Speaker-microphone (HM-131L).
C AU TIO N
To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic
energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as
this may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC
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”). “50% duty cycle” is also applicable to VOX/PTT mode.
Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “LED indicator” lights red. You can cause the radio
to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch or VOX function.
• 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 on page 33 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded.
To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and
slightly off to one side.
The information listed above provides the user with the information
needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can
possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such
interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so.
DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
Occupational/Controlled Use
The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposed as
consequence of their employment provided those persons are fully aware
of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.

also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery
performance.
R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery packs
with Icom radios or Icom charger. Only Icom battery packs are
tested and approved for use and charge with Icom radios or Icom
charger. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or charger
may cause smoke, fire, 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 impacted 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
inside the battery may rupture or catch fire.
R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas with
temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature buildup in
the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun
heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture or
catch fire. 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 is not
waterproof.
18
BATTERY CHARGING
R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since internal
battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may cause an 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 fire.
R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for which it
is specified. Never use a battery with any other equipment, or for
any purpose that is not specified in this instruction manual.
R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing
them, and see a doctor immediately.
WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery 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.
10
WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the
body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the battery.
12
WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven, highpressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could
cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture.
14
CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specified temperature
range for the transceiver (–30˚C to +60˚C; –22˚F to +140˚F) and

–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 fires 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 charging.
WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the battery
charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the battery is not
completely charged by the specified time, stop charging and remove the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the
battery beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rupture.
WARNING! NEVER insert the 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 waterproof.
CAUTION! DO NOT charge the battery outside of the specified
temperature range: BC-160 (0˚C to +40˚C; +32˚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 specified temperature
range. Additionally, battery performance or battery life may be reduced.
