*Only when the supplied battery pack (or optional battery
pack/case), antenna and jack cover are attached.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands.
This may result in an electric shock or may damage the transceiver.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still
ﬂows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or batteries
from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed battery pack or batteries will become exhausted, and will need to be recharged or replaced.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.

BATTERY CHARGING
N Caution (for the supplied BP-264 Ni-MH battery pack)
• R DANGER! NEVER short terminals (or charging terminals)
of the battery pack. Also, current may ﬂow into nearby metal
objects such as a necklace, so be careful when placing battery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc.
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as
a necklace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not
only the battery pack, but also the transceiver.
• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion.
• R DANGER! NEVER immerse the battery pack in water.
If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver.
• CAUTION: Always use the battery within the speciﬁed temperature range, –5˚C to +60˚C (+23˚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 completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature
environment (above +55˚C; +131˚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 charging. Keep it
safely in a cool dry place at the following temperature range:
–20˚C to +45˚C (–4˚F to +113˚F) (up to a month)
–20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F) (up to six months)
–20˚C to +25˚C (–4˚F to +77˚F) (up to a year*)
* We recommend charging the battery pack every 6 months.
• Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or misscontact.
• Keep battery terminals clean. It’s a good idea to clean battery terminals once a week.
• If your Ni-MH 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 pack still does not retain a charge (or only very little charge), a new battery pack must be purchased.
Prior to using the transceiver for the ﬁrst time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
between 0°C and +45°C for the regular charge by the
transceiver.

N Caution (for the optional BP-265 Li-Ion battery pack)
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 and Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom radios
or charged with Icom chargers. 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.
• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate a 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.
• R 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.
• R WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any
part of the body that comes into contact with ﬂuid from inside the battery.
BATTERY CHARGING
• R 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 remaining capacity is
about half, and then keep it safely in a cool dry place at the
following temperature range:
–20˚C to +50˚C
–20˚C to +35˚C
–20˚C to +20˚C
(–4˚F to +122˚F) (up to a month)
(–4˚F to +95˚F) (up to three months)
(–4˚F to +68˚F) (up to 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 vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such
environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will
activate, causing the battery to stop charging.
• R 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.
• R 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-193 (+10˚C to +40˚C; +50˚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.

VOX ON until you ﬁnish speaking.
CONVENIENT!
While transmitting using the VOX function, you can adjust the
VOX gain simply by rotating [DIAL].
• VOX delay
Sets the VOX delay to between 0.5 and 3.0 seconds (in 0.5
sec. steps). The VOX delay is the amount of time the transmitter stays ON after you stop speaking.
(default: 0.5)
• VOX gain
The VOX gain level can be adjusted between 1 (minimum)
and 10 (maximum), or turned OFF. Higher values make the
VOX function more sensitive to your voice.
(default: 5)
± While speaking into the headset microphone, adjust the
VOX gain until “VOX” continuously appears on the LCD.
81
• VOX time-out timer
Sets the VOX time-out timer to between 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 and
