RDANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery
pack. Shorting may occur if the terminals touch metal
objects such as a key, so be careful when placing the
battery packs (or the transceiver) in bags, and so on. Carry
them so that shorting cannot occur with metal objects.
Shorting may damage not only the battery pack, but also the
transceiver.
RDANGER! NEVER operate the transceiver near
unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive
atmosphere.
RDANGER! NEVER use and charge Icom battery packs
with non-Icom transceivers or non-Icom chargers. Only Icom
battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom
transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party
or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke,
re, or cause the battery to burst.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
The continuous high volume operation may cause a ringing
in your ears. If you experience the ringing, reduce the
volume level or discontinue use.
CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine
or alcohol when cleaning, because they will damage the
transceiver surfaces.
PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: DO NOT attach the battery unless the exible
antenna, battery pack and jack cover are securely attached
to the transceiver. Conrm that the antenna and battery
pack are dry before attaching. Exposing the inside of the
transceiver to dust or water can cause serious damage to
the transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in direct
sunlight or in places with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F)
or above +60°C (+140°F) for IC-M93D, and below –15°C
(–10°C for the Australian version) or above +55°C for the
IC-M93D EURO. The basic operations of the transceiver
are guaranteed within the specied operating temperature
range. However, the Liquid Crystal Display may not operate
correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of
operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.
CAUTION: DO NOT modify the transceiver. The
specications may change and then the transceiver may not
comply with the requirements of required regulations. The
transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by
unauthorized modication.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver if it becomes
hot after operating it continuously for long periods of time.
This may damage the transceiver.
KEEP the transceiver and microphone at least 0.9 m (3 feet)
away from the vessel’s magnetic navigation compass.
iv
PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT
push [PTT] unless you actually intend to transmit.
BE CAREFUL! The IC-M93D and IC-M93D EURO meet
IPX7* requirements for waterproof protection. However,
once the transceiver has been dropped, waterproof
protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible
damage to the transceiver’s case or the waterproof seal.
* Only when the speaker microphone jack cover, the
optional HM-165, or HM-228 is attached.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current
still ows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack 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.
BE CAREFUL! Even if the volume level is set low, the
beeps of the Float ’n Flash, DSC alarm and AquaQuake
functions are very loud.
BE SURE the transceiver power is OFF before connect ing
the supplied or optional equipment.

RECOMMENDATION
CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY WITH
FRESH WATER after exposure to saltwater, and dry
it before operating. Otherwise, the transceiver's keys,
switches and controllers may become unusable, due to salt
crystallization, and/or the charging terminals of the battery
pack may rust.
NOTE: DO NOT wash the transceiver in water if there
is any reason to suspect the waterproong may not be
effective. For example, in cases where the [SP MIC] jack
cover is damaged, the transceiver/battery pack is cracked
or broken, or has been dropped, or when the battery pack
is detached from the transceiver.

1OPERATING RULES
DPriorities
• Read all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities and
keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and distress calls
take priority over all others.
• You must monitor Channel 16 when you are not operating
on another channel.
• False or fraudulent distress calls are prohibited under law.
DPrivacy
• Information overheard but not intended for you cannot
lawfully be used in any way.
• Indecent or profane language is prohibited.
DRadio licenses
(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE
You must have a current radio station license before using
the transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship station which
is not licensed.
Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate government
agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license application. This
government-issued license states the call sign which is your
craft’s identication for radio purposes.
(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE
A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license
most often held by small vessel radio operators when a
radio is not required for safety purposes.
The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must be
posted or kept with the operator. Only a licensed radio
operator may operate a transceiver.
However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a
transceiver if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends
the call and makes the necessary log entries.
A current copy of the applicable government rules and
regulations is only required to be on hand for vessels in
which a radio telephone is compulsory. However, even
if you are not required to have these on hand it is your
responsibility to be thoroughly acquainted with all pertinent
rules and regulations.
NOTE: Even though the transceiver is capable of
operation on VHF marine channels 3, 21, 23, 61, 64,
81, 82 and 83, according to FCC regulations these
simplex channels cannot be lawfully used by the general
population in USA waters.

11 BATTERY CHARGING
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 re.
R DANGER! NEVER leave battery pack in places with
temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature buildup in
the battery, such as could occur near res or stoves, inside a
sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight for long periods of time may
cause the battery to rupture or catch re. Excessive temperatures
may also degrade battery’s performance or shorten battery life.
R DANGER! NEVER strike 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 re.
R DANGER! NEVER 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 place or leave battery packs near re. Fire or
heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery
packs in accordance with local regulations.
R DANGER! NEVER use the battery with a transceiver for which
it is not specied. Never use a battery with any other equipment, or
for any purpose that is not specied in this instruction manual.
R DANGER! NEVER
let uid from inside the battery get in your
eyes. If it does, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean
water, without rubbing them, and immediately go to a doctor.
R WARNING!
NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven,
high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could
cause a re, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture.
R
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.
R WARNING! NEVER let uid from inside the battery come in
contact with your body. It it does, immediately wash with clean water.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery pack out of the specied
temperature range.
• IC-M93D: –20°C ~ +60°C (–4°F ~ +140°F)
• IC-M93D EURO: –15˚C ~ +55˚C
(–10˚C ~ +55˚C for the Australian version)
• BP-285: –20°C ~ +60°C (–4°F ~ +140°F)
Using the battery out of its specied temperature range will reduce the
battery’s performance and battery life. Please note that the specied
temperature range of the battery may exceed that of the transceiver. In
such cases, the transceiver may not work properly because it is out of
its operating temperature range.
DBattery caution
Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following hazards:
smoke, re, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can also cause
damage to the battery or degradation of battery’s performance.

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 pack must be left unused for a long time, it must
be detached from the transceiver after discharging. You may use
the battery pack until the remaining capacity is about half, then keep
it safely in a cool and dry place at the following temperature range:
–20˚C ~ +50˚C (–4˚F ~ +122˚F) (within a month)
–20˚C ~ +40˚C (–4˚F ~ +104˚F) (within three months)
–20˚C ~ +20˚C (–4˚F ~ +68˚F) (within a year)
BE SURE to replace the battery pack with a new one approximately
ve years after manufacturing, even if it still holds a charge. The inside
battery material will become weak after a period of time, even with
little use. The estimated number of times you can charge the battery
is between 300 and 500. Even when the battery appears to be fully
charged, the operating time of the transceiver may become short when:
• Approximately ve years have passed since the battery was
manufactured.
• The battery has been repeatedly charged.
DCharging caution
R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with
extremely high temperatures, such as near res 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 DANGER! NEVER charge the transceiver during a lightning
storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a re or damage the
transceiver. Always disconnect the power adapter before a storm.
R WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery in the battery
charger beyond the specied time for charging. If the battery is
not completely charged by the specied time, stop charging and
remove the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge
the battery beyond the specied time limit may cause a re,
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.
NOTE: Charge the battery pack within the specied temperature
range: +10˚C ~ +45˚C (+50˚F ~ +113˚F). Otherwise, the charging
time will be longer, but the battery will not reach a full charge. While
charging, at a point after the temperature goes out of the specied
range, the charging will automatically stop.
NOTE: Be sure the slots on the battery pack are correctly aligned
with the guide tabs inside the battery charger.

DMise en garde concernant la batterie
Un mauvais usage des batteries au Lithium ion peut avoir les
conséquences suivantes: fumée, incendie ou explosion de
la batterie. Il peut également causer des dommages a une
autre batterie ou dégrader les performances de la batterie.
R DANGER! NE JAMAIS souder les contacts de la
batterie NI modier sa composition. Ceci peut provoquer
une surchauffe de la batterie, qui risque alors d'éclater, de
fumer ou de prendre feu.
R DANGER! NE JAMAIS utiliser ni laisser le pack batterie
à un emplacement où la température est supérieure à
+60°C (+140°F). La montée en température de la batterie,
comme cela peut survenir à proximité de ammes ou de
poêles, à l'intérieur d'un véhicule exposé au soleil, ou en
plein soleil peut détruire ou enammer la batterie. Les
températures excessives peuvent également dégrader les
performances de la batterie ou réduire leur longévité.
R DANGER! NE PAS marteler ni cogner la batterie d’une
quelconque façon. N'utilisez pas la batterie si elle a reçu
des impacts ou a été jetée ou si elle a subi une forte
pression. Les dommages subis par une batterie peuvent ne
pas être visibles de l'extérieur du boîtier. Même si la surface
de la batterie ne semble pas ssurée ou endommagée, les
cellules à l'intérieur de la batterie peuvent se rompre ou
prendre feu.
R DANGER! NE PAS exposer la batterie à la pluie, la
neige, l’eau de mer ou tout autre liquide. Ne pas charger
ou utiliser une batterie humide. Si une batterie est humide,
veillez à l'essuyer complètement avant de l'utiliser.
R DANGER! Tenir à l'écart batteries au feu. Feu ou la
chaleur peut provoquer une rupture ou d'exploser. Disposer
de batteries utilisées conformément à la réglementation
locale.
R DANGER! Utiliser la batterie uniquement avec la radio
pour lequel elle est spéciée. Ne jamais utiliser une batterie
avec tout autre équipement ou pour une autre destination
que celle spéciée dans le présent manuel d'utilisation.
R DANGER! Dans le cas où du liquide provenant de
l'intérieur de la batterie entre dans vos yeux, vous risquez
la cécité. Rincez abondamment les yeux à l'eau courante,
sans les frotter et consultez immédiatement un médecin.
R AVERTISSEMENT! NE JAMAIS mettre la batterie dans
un four à micro-ondes, un récipient haute-pression ou dans
un four à induction. Ceci peut provoquer un incendie, une
surchauffe ou détériorer la batterie.
R AVERTISSEMENT! Cessez immédiatement d'utiliser
la batterie si elle dégage une odeur anormale, si elle
surchauffe, est décolorée ou déformée. Si l'une de ces
situations se produit, contactez votre revendeur ou
distributeur Icom.
R AVERTISSEMENT! Lavez immédiatement à l'eau
courante toute partie du corps qui est entrée en contact
avec le liquide provenant de l'intérieur de la batterie.
MISE EN GARDE: Toujours utiliser la batterie dans la plage
de température spéciée, comprise entre –20°C et +60°C
(–4°F à +140°F), et de la batterie elle-même de –20°C à
+60°C (–4°F à +140°F). L’utilisation de la batterie hors de la
plage de tem pérature indiquée, a pour effet d’en altérer les
performances et d’en réduire la durée de vie.
MISE EN GARDE: La longévité de la batterie peut être
écourtée si elle est laissée de manière prolongée à pleine
charge, entièrement déchargée, ou dans un environnement
à température excessive (supérieure à +50°C (+122°F)).
Si la batterie ne doit pas être utilisée pendant une assez
longue période, elle doit être enlevée de la VHF une fois
déchargée. Vous pouvez utiliser la batterie jusqu'à ce que
le témoin de la batterie indique qu'elle est à la moitié de sa
capacité. Placez-la ensuite dans un endroit frais et sec dans
la plage de température ci-après :
–20°C ~ +50°C (–4°F ~ +122°F) (période inférieure à un mois)
–20°C ~ +40°C (–4°F ~ +104°F) (période inférieure à trois mois)
–20°C ~ +20°C (–4°F ~ +68°F) (période inférieure à une année)
VEILLEZ à remplacer la batterie par une nouvelle après
cinq ans, même si elle maintient la charge. Les matériaux
présents à l'intérieur de la batterie se détériorent après
un certain temps, même en cas d'utilisation réduite. Le
nombre de fois où il est possible de charger la batterie est
estimé entre 300 et 500 fois en fonction de l'utilisation.
Même lorsque la batterie indique qu'elle est complètement
chargée, le temps d'utilisation du poste peut être réduit
dans les cas suivants:
• Sono passati approssimativamente cinque anni dalla data di
fabbrica della batteria.
• La batteria è stata ripetutamente caricata.
DMise en garde concernant la recharge
R DANGER! NE JAMAIS charger le pack batterie à des
endroits exposés à des températures extrêmement élevées,
comme à proximité de ammes ou de poêles, à l'intérieur
d'un véhicule exposé au soleil, ou en plein soleil. Dans ces
environnements, le circuit de sécurité/protection à l'intérieur
de la batterie peut s'activer et interrompre la recharge de la
batterie.
R AVERTISSEMENT! NE JAMAIS charger l'émetteur-
récepteur durant un orage. Cela risquerait de provoquer un
choc électrique, un incendie ou d'endommager l'émetteur-
récepteur. Toujours débrancher l'adaptateur de courant
avant une tempête.
R AVERTISSEMENT! NE JAMAIS charger ou laisser la
batterie dans le chargeur de batterie au-delà de la durée
de charge indiquée. Si la batterie n'est pas complètement
chargée pendant le temps spécié, interrompez la recharge
et retirez la batterie du chargeur de batterie. La poursuite
de la charge au-delà de durée indiquée peut provoquer un
incendie, une surchauffe ou l’éclatement de la batterie.
R AVERTISSEMENT! NE JAMAIS insérer un émetteur-
récepteur humide ou poussiéreux (avec sa batterie) dans le
chargeur. Ceci peut corroder les bornes du chargeur de la
batterie ou endommager le chargeur. Le chargeur n'est pas
étanche.
REMARQUE: Charger la batterie à l'intérieur de la plage de
températures spéciée de +10˚C à +45˚C (+50˚F à +113˚F).
Sinon, le temps de charge sera plus long, mais la batterie
ne sera pas atteindre une charge complète. La charge
s'arrête automatiquement lorsque la température est hors
de la plage spéciée.
REMARQUE: Veillez que les fentes de la batterie sont
correctement alignées avec les pattes de guidage à l'intérieur
du chargeur de batterie.
