iYour Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “General Population Use” in an uncontrolled environment.This radio has been evaluated for compliance at the distance of 2.5 cm (1 inch) with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Gen-eral Population Use”. 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 01-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compli-ance 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 Recom-mended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electro-magnetic Fields– RF and Microwave. • The following accessories are authorized for use with this product. Use of accessories other than those speciﬁ ed may result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip (MB-124), Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack (BP-266).To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic en-ergy is within the FCC allowable limits for general popu-lation 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 ex-posure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or antenna speciﬁ cally 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 expo-sure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “transmit indicator” appears on the LCD. 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 belt clip which is listed on p. 28 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/CompatibilityDuring 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.iSAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

218BATTERY CHARGING12345678910111213141516■ Battery cautionR DANGER! Use and charge only speciﬁ ed Icom battery pack with Icom radios or Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use and charge with Icom radios or Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, ﬁ re, or cause the battery to burst.D Battery cautionR 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 ﬁ re.R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas with temperatures above +50˚C (+122˚F). High temperature buildup in the battery, such as could occur near ﬁ res or stoves, inside a sun-heated car, or by setting the battery 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, saltwater, or any other liquids. Never charge or use a wet battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. The battery by itself is not waterproof.R DANGER! NEVER incinerate a used battery pack 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 ﬁ re.R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for which it is speciﬁ ed. Never use a battery with any other equipment, or for any purpose that is not described in this instruction manual.R DANGER! If ﬂ uid from inside the battery gets in your eyes, blind-ness 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 discol-ored 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 ﬂ uid 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 overheating, a ﬁ re, or cause the battery to rupture.CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specific temperature range for the transceiver (–20˚C to +60˚C; –4˚F to +140˚F) and the battery itself (–20˚C to +60˚C; –4˚F to +140˚F). Using the battery out of its speciﬁ c temperature range will reduce the battery’s perfor-mance and battery life.Misuse of Lithium-ion batteries may result in the follow-ing hazards: smoke, ﬁ re, or the battery may rupture.Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or deg-radation of battery performance.

228BATTERY CHARGING■ Battery caution (continued)CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature en-vironment (above +60˚C; +140˚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, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature range as follows:–20˚C to +50˚C (–4˚F to +122˚F) (within a month)–20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to +95˚F) (within three months)–20˚C to +25˚C (–4˚F to +77˚F) (within a year)D Charging cautionCharge the battery pack at least once every six months, even if it has been not used for a long period of time. The battery pack will have slowly self-discharged, even though it has not been used. If the battery pack is left for a long period without being charged, its life cycle will be shorter, or worse, it will never accept a charge again.Due to the characteristics of the Li-ion rectangular battery, the battery pack may change its shape as the charge and discharge cycles are repeated. This is a normal phenomenon, and it is quite safe to continue to use the pack, as long as it is properly handled. However, when the shape of the battery pack is so changed that the battery pack or battery cover can not be correctly attached to the transceiver, it is time to replace it with a new one. Otherwise, the transceiver can be damaged due to the loss of air tightness. R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with ex-tremely 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 bat-tery to stop charging.WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the battery char-ger beyond the speciﬁ ed time for charging. If the battery is not com-pletely charged by the speciﬁ c time, stop charging and remove the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the battery beyond the speciﬁ c time limit may cause a ﬁ re, 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: ±0˚C to +45˚C (+32˚F to +113˚F). Icom recom-mends charging the battery at +20˚C (+68˚F). The battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the speciﬁ ed temperature range, and battery performance or battery life may be reduced.
