■■ Precautions
iv
■■ Battery and charging cautions
DDBattery cautions
Misuse of Li-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’s
performance.
BASIC MANUAL
RR DANGER! NEVER strike or otherwise impact
the battery pack. Do not use the battery pack if it
has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the
pack has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery
pack 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.
RR DANGER! NEVER place or leave the battery
pack in areas with temperatures above 60˚C
(140˚F). High temperature buildup in the battery
cells, such as could occur near fires or stoves,
inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight for
long periods of time may cause the battery cells to
rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may
also degrade pack’s performance or shorten the
battery cell’s life.
RR DANGER! NEVER place or leave battery
packs near fire. Fire or heat may cause them
to rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery
packs in accordance with local regulations.
RR 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.
RR DANGER! NEVER let fluid from inside
the battery get in your eyes. This can cause
blindness. Rinse your eyes with clean water,
without rubbing them, and immediately get
medical treatment from an eye doctor. NEVER
disassemble the battery pack.
RR WARNING! NEVER use 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.
RR WARNING! NEVER let fluid from inside the
battery cells come in contact with your body. If it
does, immediately wash with clean water.
RR WARNING! NEVER put the battery pack in
a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or
in an induction heating cooker. This could cause
a fire, overheating, or cause the battery cells to
rupture.
RR CAUTION: DO NOT expose the battery pack
to rain, snow, saltwater, or any other liquids. Do not
charge or use a wet pack. If the pack gets wet, be
sure to wipe it dry before using.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery pack outside
the specified temperature range, –20˚C ~ +60˚C
(–4˚F ~ +140˚F). Otherwise this will reduce the
pack’s performance and battery cell life.
DO NOT leave the pack fully charged, completely
discharged, or in an excessive temperature
environment (above 50˚C, 122˚F) for an
extended period of time. Otherwise a shorter
battery pack life could occur. If the battery pack
must be left unused for a long time, it must be
detached from the receiver after discharging. You
may use the pack until the remaining capacity is
about half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place
in the following temperature range:
–20˚C (–4˚F) ~ +50˚C (+122˚F) (for a month)
–20˚C (–4˚F) ~ +40˚C (+104˚F) (for three months)
–20˚C (–4˚F) ~ +20˚C (+68˚F) (for a year).
NOTE: Replace the battery pack with a new one
approximately five years after manufacturing,
even if it still holds a charge. The material inside
the battery material will become weak after a
period of time, even with little use. The estimated
number of times you can charge the pack is
between 300 and 500. Even when the battery
appears to be fully charged, the operating time of
the receiver may become short when:
• Approximately five years have passed since the
battery was manufactured.
• The pack has been repeatedly charged.

■■ Operating theory
Electromagnetic radiation, which has
frequencies of 20,000 Hz (20 kHz*) and
above, is called radio frequency (RF)
energy because, it is useful in radio
transmissions. The IC-R30 receives RF
energy from 0.100 MHz* to 3304.99999
MHz and converts it into audio frequency
(AF) energy which in turn actuates a
loudspeaker to create sound waves.
AF energy is in the range of 20 to 20,000 Hz.
* kHz is an abbreviation of kilohertz or 1000
hertz, MHz is abbreviation of megahertz
or 1,000,000 hertz, where hertz is a unit
of frequency.
■■ Operating notes
The IC-R30 may receive its own oscillated
frequency, resulting in no reception or only
noise reception, on some frequencies.
The IC-R30 may receive interference
from extremely strong signals on different
frequencies or when using an external
high-gain antenna.

reaching to the upper frequency.
•• Continuous Sweep:	Repeatedly searches the specified frequency range.
The receiver’s sweep bandwidth is ± 15 × the tuning step number, centered on the
displayed frequency.
LL The ± 15 times is a fixed value.
Example:
The displayed frequency is 146.000 MHz and the tuning step is set to 5 kHz. Therefore,
the sweep range is between 145.925 MHz (lower edge frequency) and 146.075 MHz
(higher edge frequency).
See the calculation below.
Lower edge frequency = –15 × 5 kHz
= –75 kHz (–0.075 MHz)
Higher edge frequency = +15 × 5 kHz
= +75 kHz (+0.075 MHz)
•• The displayed (center) frequency is 146.000 MHz
•• The lower (start) frequency is 145.925 MHz
(= 146.000 MHz – 0.075 MHz)
•• The higher (stop) frequency is 146.075 MHz
(= 146.000 MHz + 0.075 MHz)
Example: A strong signal is received on 146.025 MHz.
