RWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that
the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of
the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The
transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm
(2 to 4-inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with
a earphone, headphones or other audio accessories at high
volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous
high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your
ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of
more than 16 V DC. This will ruin the transceiver.
NEVER
connect the transceiver to a power source using
reverse polarity. This will ruin the transceiver.
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. The transceiver may be damaged.
NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands.
This may result in an electric shock or damage the transceiver.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4˚F) or above +60
°C (+140˚F).
Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by
children.
DO NOT use of chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s

BATTERY CHARGING
■ Caution
Misuse of Lithium-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.
• R DANGER! Use and charge only speciﬁed Icom battery
packs with Icom radios. Only Icom battery packs are tested
and approved for use with Icom radios. Using third-party or
counterfeit battery packs 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 pack 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.
• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate an used battery pack
since internal battery gas may cause it 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 burst, 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.
• WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part
of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside
the battery.
New2001
BATTERY CHARGING
• 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, –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 +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 battery
indicator shows half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool
dry place with the temperature between –20˚C to +20˚C (–
4˚F to +68˚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.
• 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

• Charging period: approx. 2.5 hours (with BP-256)
D Charging note
• Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF.
Detach the battery pack from the transceiver then charge
the battery pack by itself, or charge the battery with regular charging when the transceiver power cannot be turned
OFF.
Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged (charging indicator on the BC-177 blinks orange about 10 sec. after the battery
pack is installed in BC-177).
• The desktop charger, BC-177, can only be charged
BP-256. Other types of rechargeable battery, Ni-Cd or
Ni-MH, cannot be charged.
• If the charging indicator blinks orange, there may be a
problem with the battery pack (or charger). Reinsert the battery pack or contact your dealer.
• The optional CP-12L and OPC-254L can be used instead
of the supplied AC adapter (BC-123A/E). Connect one of
these to the [DC 13.5V] jack in this case.

■ Optional battery case
■ Battery information
➥ Install 2 u LR6 (AA) size
alkaline batteries into the
optional BP-257 BATTERY
CASE.
D Battery life
• Be sure to observe the correct polarity.
The transceiver operates with the BP-256 as follows.
However, when operating in DV mode, operating time may
be shortened by one-half hour.
• VHF band : Approx. 5 hours
• UHF band : Approx. 4.5 hours
(Tx: Rx: Stand-by=1: 1: 8)
A built-in step-up convertor in the BP-257 increases the
voltage to 5 V DC.
Approx. 100 mW of output power is possible with the
BP-257 operation. Also, no transmit output power selection is available.
Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean battery terminals once a week.
D Battery information
The batteries may seem to have low capacity when used in
low temperatures such as –10°C (+14°F) or below. Keep the
battery case or pack warm in this case.
D Battery replacement
When the batteries become exhausted, the function display
may blink or have a lower contrast. In these cases, replace
all batteries with new, same brand, alkaline batteries.
12
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current
still ﬂows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case
from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the battery pack or installed batteries will become
exhausted.
D Battery indicator
The battery indicator, “
,” appears only when the BP-256
is attached to the transceiver.
The battery indicator does not appear when turning power
ON after the charging is completed without disconnecting
the battery charger or external DC power.

BATTERY CHARGING
■ External DC power operation
An optional cigarette lighter cable (CP-12L or CP-19R; for 12 V
cigarette lighter socket) or external DC power cable (OPC-254L)
can be used for external power operation.
D Operating note
• Power supply range is between 10.0–16.0 V DC.
NEVER CONNECT OVER 16 V DC directly into the [DC IN]
jack of the transceiver.
• BE SURE to use CP-12L,CP-19R or OPC-254L when connecting a regulated 12 V DC power supply.
Use an external DC-DC converter to connect the transceiver through optional CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-254L to a
24 V DC power source.
• The voltage of the external power supply must be within
10–16 V DC when using either CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC254L, otherwise, use the battery pack.
• Up to 5 W (approx.) of maximum output power is provided
with the external DC power operation, however, when the
supplied voltage exceeds 14 V, the built-in protection circuit
activates to reduce the transmit output power to 0.5 W (approx.).
• Disconnect the power cables from the transceiver when
not using it. Otherwise, the vehicle battery will become exhausted.

WARNING! NEVER continuously transmit the transceiver for long periods of time. When the transceiver is used for continuous
prolonged transmission at high power, the transceiver radiates heat to protect itself from overheating and transceiver’s chassis
will become hot. This may cause a burn.
AVOID operating the transceiver in a situation that will obstruct heat dissipation, especially if the transceiver is operated with
an external power supply. Heat dissipation may be affected, and it may cause a burn, warp the casing or damage the transceiver.

■ About D-STAR system
In the D-STAR system, repeater linking via a 10 GHz band
backbone and internet network (gateway connection) capabilities are available. This system provides you to with much
wider coverage range during digital voice mode operation.
•-D-STAR system outline
Repeater A
Also, the D-STAR system repeaters are connectable through
the internet— gateway connection capability.

For example, when station B uses the gateway connection
station B can communicate with the station C!
By using the gateway connection, long distance communication like DX operation may be possible with 144 or 440 MHz
digital voice!
In the D-STAR system, an independent repeater’s operating
area is called an Area and a group that of linked repeaters
via a 10 GHz backbone is called a Zone.
Internet
network
10 GHz
For current repeater operation, stations that are communicating must both be in the same repeater’s operating area.
However, in the D-STAR system as in the illustration at left,
the repeaters can be linked via the system repeaters (with
a 10 GHz signal). Thus stations A and B can communicate
even though they are in different repeater operating areas.

About time-out timer function
The IC-92A/92AD has a time-out timer function for digital

■ Tone frequency and DTCS
code
D Subaudible (repeater) tone
Some repeaters require subaudible tones to be accessed.
Subaudible tones are superimposed over your normal signal
and must be set in advance.
D Tone and DTCS squelches
The tone squelch (CTCSS) or DTCS squelch opens only
when receiving a signal containing a matching subaudible
tone or DTCS code, respectively. You can silently wait for
calls from group members using the same tone or code.
Separate tone frequencies can be set for repeater and tone
squelch/pocket beep operation.
D Pocket beep
These functions use subaudible tones or DTCS codes for
calling and can be used as a “common pager” to inform
you that someone has called while you were away from the
transceiver.
