• 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.
• WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part
of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the
battery.
• WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven,
high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker.
This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to
rupture.
• CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specified temperature range for the transceiver (–30˚C to +60˚C; –22˚F to
+140˚F) and the battery itself (–20˚C to +60˚C; –4˚F to
+140˚F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature
range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life.
• CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is
left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive
temperature environment (above +45˚C; +113˚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 battery indicator
shows half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place
with the temperature between –20˚C to +25˚C (–4˚F to
+77˚F).
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.

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
W ARN ING course of employment by individuals aware of the
hazards, and the ways to minimize 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:
• 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.

can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be
exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the TX indicator
lights red. 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 beltclips listed on page 25 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.
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
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.
