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 has been evaluated for compliance at the distance
of 2.5 cm with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational
Use Only”. In addition, your Icom radio complies with the folW ARN ING
lowing Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy
and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such
levels for exposure to humans:
• FCC 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.
• A merican 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-86, MB-103Y), Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack (BP-252) and Lithium Battery Pack (BP-234).
To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational
use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
C AU TIO N
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this
may damage the radio and may exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A
proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an 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 RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting
when the “TX indicator” light is 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-clips which are listed on
page 23 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 radio in an
almost vertical position at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, the microphone is located next to the speaker, so you should “talk into the
speaker”.
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 within FCC RF exposure limits.
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.

BP-234 BATTERY PACK
The optional BP-234 battery pack is a non-rechargeable,
Lithium battery pack for operation in a survival craft. The following precaution must be observed.
• NEVER dispose of the BP-234 battery pack in a fire. This could
result in an explosion.
•D
 O NOT short-circuit the BP-234 battery pack. Metal contact
(such as paper clip, another battery, etc.) across the battery contacts can result in a sustained high rate discharge, which could
damage the battery, void the warranty and create a burn or a fire
hazard.
•D
 O NOT apply excessive pressure to the battery. This may result
in electrolyte leakage, possibly causing an explosion.
• The storage life of the BP-234 is about 5 years. Once the expiration date on the battery pack passes, a new battery pack must be
purchased.
• For safety reasons, once the BP-234 is used, a spare one should
be purchased. The original battery pack can be continued to be
used for regular communications; save the spare one for emergency situations.
• NEVER expose of the BP-234 battery pack to excessive heat of
60°C (+140°F) or above. This could result in electrolyte leakage,
possibly causing an explosion or fire.
• NEVER attempt to recharge the BP-234. Lithium batteries may
explode or cause a fire in such cases.
•D
 O NOT disassemble the BP-234 battery pack. The BP-234 battery pack contains no user serviceable parts. Internal battery gas
can cause throat irritation. Also, exposed lithium may generate
heat and ignite.
16
• BP-234 Lithium battery pack
IMPORTANT!
• This battery pack is for EMERGENCY USE ONLY.
• U sable temperature range is within –20°C to +55°C
(–4°F to +131°F).
• S tored temperature range is within –30°C to +35°C
(–22°F to +95°F).
• Once this bag’s seal is broken, a new emergency battery
pack must be used for EMERGENCY use.
BATTERY CHARGING (FOR ON-BOARD USE ONLY)
M Battery charging
M Battery cautions
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
CAUTION! NEVER insert a battery pack or a transceiver (with the battery pack attached) that is wet or soiled
into the charger. This may result in corrosion of the charger
terminals or damage to the charger. The charger is not waterproof and water can easily get into it.
 AUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn the
power OFF while charging.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
+10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F)
• Use the specified chargers (BC-173). NEVER use another
manufacturer’s charger.
• Use the supplied AC adapter for the BC-173. NEVER use
another manufacturer’s adapters.
Turn the transceiver OFF when charging an attached battery pack. Otherwise, the battery pack may not become
full-charging or may not charge properly.
NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery
gas may cause an explosion.
NEVER immerse a battery pack in water. If the battery
pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry immediately (particularly the battery terminals), and especially BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver.
NEVER short terminals of the battery pack. Also, current
may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace, etc.
Those may cause burn, electric shock or fire. Therefore, be
careful when carrying in a pocket, backpack or handbag,
and when placing the radio near metal objects.
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after
being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power
ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If
the battery still do not retain a charge (or very little), a new
battery pack must be replaced.
