R DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery
pack.
R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery
packs with Icom radios or 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 or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause
the battery to burst.
R WARNING! 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 verti-
cal.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with
a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op-
eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the
volume level or discontinue use.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna, bat-
tery pack and jack cover are securely attached to the trans-
ceiver, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before
attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to dust or
water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-
cal blast ing caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT push [PTT] when not actually intending to transmit.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F).
The basic operations, transmission and reception of the trans-
ceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating tempera-
ture range. However, the LCD display may not be operate
correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of
operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.
DO NOT modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does
not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods of time.
PRECAUTIONS
iii
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets IP67 require-
ments for dust-tight and waterproof protection. However, once
the transceiver has been dropped, dust-tight and waterproof
protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible dam-
age to the transceiver’s case or the waterproof seal.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still
flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or batteries from
the trans ceiver 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.
MAKE SURE to turn OFF the transceiver power before
connect ing the supplied/optional equipment.

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 or Icom charger. Only Icom battery
packs are tested and approved for use and charge with
Icom radios or Icom charger. Using third-party or counterfeit
battery packs or charger may cause smoke, fire, or cause
the battery to burst.
Battery caution D
• R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the bat-
tery. 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 packs in areas
with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High tempera-
ture 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 tem-
peratures may also degrade battery performance or shorten
battery life.
• R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow,
seawater, 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 is not waterproof.
• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs 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 gen-
eration, and the battery may rupture, 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.

4BATTERY CHARGING
• 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 in-
side the battery.
• 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 tem-
perature 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 exces-
sive 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 dis-
charging. You may use the battery until the remaining ca-
pacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place
with the temperature range as below:
–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)
Charging caution D
• 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 en-
vironments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will
activate, causing the battery to stop charging.
• R WARNING! NEVER 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 char-
ger. 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 at-
tached 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: NEVER charge the battery outside of the speci-
ed temperature range: BC-160 and BC-171 (0˚C to +45˚C;
+32˚F to +113˚F), BC-119 and BC-121 (+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,

Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic en-
ergy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for
and classified as “Occupational Use Only,” meaning it
must be used only during the 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 expo-
sure 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.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Rec-
ommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazard-
ous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.
• The following accessories are authorized for use with this prod-
uct. Use of accessories other than those specified may result in
RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless
RF exposure; Belt Clip (MB-93, MB-94, MB-96N and MB-96F),
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack (BP-232WP), Alkalies Battery
Case (BP-240 and BP-261) and Speaker microphone (HM-184).
T
o ensure that your expose to RF electromag-
netic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for
occupational 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 exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna sup-
plied with this radio by the manufacturer or 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 lights red. You can
cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “VOX/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-clips
listed on page 30 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/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 ex-
posed as consequence of their employment provided those persons
are fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control
over their exposure.

Votre radio Icom produit une énergie électromagnétique
de radiofréquences (RF), en mode de transmission.
Cette radio est conçue pour un «usage professionnel
seulement» et classée comme tel, ce qui signifie qu’elle
doit être utilisée uniquement dans le cadre d'un travail
par des personnes conscientes des dangers et des mesures visant à mi-
nimiser ces dangers. Elle N’EST PAS conçue pour une «utilisation grand
public», dans un environnement non contrôlé.
Cet appareil a été évalué et jugé conforme, aux limites d
’
exposition aux
RF de la FCC, pour une «utilisation grand public». En outre, votre radio
Icom satisfait les normes et directives qui suivent en matière de niveaux
d'énergie et d
’
énergie électromagnétique de RF et d
’
évaluation de tels
niveaux en ce qui concerne l
’
exposition humaine:
• Supplément C, édition 97-01, du Bulletin OET n° 65 de la FCC,
«Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure
to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields».
• Norme de l’American National Standards Institute (ANSI): IEEE
C95.1-1992 sur les niveaux de sécurité compatibles avec l
’
exposition
humaine aux champs électromagnétiques de radiofréquences (3 kHz
à 300 GHz).
• Norme de l’ANSI: IEEE C95.3-1992 sur la méthode d’évaluation re-
commandée du champ magnétique potentiellement dangereux des
radiofréquences et des micro-ondes.
•
Les accessoires illustrés à la p. 30–31 sont approuvés pour une utili-
sation avec ce produit. L’utilisation d’accessoires autres que ceux pré-
cisés peut entraîner des niveaux d’exposition aux RF supérieures aux
limites établies par la FCC en matière d’exposition aux RF sans fil.
Afin de vous assurer que votre exposition à
une énergie électromagnétique de RF se situe
dans les limites permises par la FCC pour une
utilisation grand public, veuillez en tout temps
respecter les directives suivantes:
•
NE PAS faire fonctionner la radio sans qu
’
une antenne appropriée y soit
fixée, car ceci risque d
’
endommager la radio et causer une exposition
supérieure aux limites établies par la FCC. L
’
antenne appropriée est celle
qui est fournie avec cette radio par le fabricant ou une antenne spéciale-
ment autorisée par le fabricant pour être utilisée avec cette radio.
• NE PAS émettre pendant plus de 50 % du temps total d’utilisation de
l’appareil («50 % du facteur d'utilisation»). La notion «50% du facteur
d’utilisation» s’applique également au mode VOX/PTT. Émettre pen-
dant plus de 50 % du temps total d’utilisation peut causer une expo-
sition aux RF supérieure aux limites établies par la FCC. Lorsque le
voyant DEL rouge s’allume, cette radio est en train d’émettre. La radio
émettra si vous appuyez sur le bouton du microphone.
