SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
CAUTION
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits, always adhere to
the following guidelines:
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached,
as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an
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” is
lit. 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-clips
which listed in this manual when attaching the radio to your
belt, etc. To provide the recipients of your transmission the
best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches)
from 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
within 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.
• ALWAYS use Icom authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded.

PRECAUTION
RWARNING! 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 in) away
from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If
you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is DC
fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will be
protected by this fuse, higher fuse values will not give any protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be ruined.
NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Beware that external DC power connections will charge batteries
inside the battery case. This will damage not only the battery
case but also the transceiver.

blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F).
The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still
flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from the
transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the battery pack or installed Ni-Cd batteries will become exhausted.
For USA only:
Caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

‘ Battery caution
‘ Battery charging
• CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack (or
charging terminals of the transceiver). 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. causes shorting. This will damage not only the battery
pack, but also the transceiver.
• NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may
cause an explosion.
• 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.
• Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or miss contact.
• Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean battery terminals once a week.
D Regular charging with the BC-146
If your 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 (p. 59).
D Recycling information (U.S.A. only)
The product that you have purchased contains a
rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At
the end of its life, under various state and local
laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into
the municipal waste stream. Call 1-800-822-8837
for battery recycling options in your area or contact your dealer.
The optional BC-146 provides regular charging of optional battery
pack with/without transceiver. Turn power OFF.

(purchased separately)
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:
+10°C to +40°C (50°F to 140°F).
• Use the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-144/BC-121 for
rapid charging, BC-146 for regular charging) only. NEVER use
other manufacturers’ chargers.
The optional BP-222, BP-209 or BP-210 battery packs include
rechargeable Ni-Cd (Ni-MH: BP-210) batteries and can be charged
approx. 300 times. Charge the battery pack before first operating
the transceiver or when the battery pack becomes exhausted.
If you want to charge the battery pack more than 300 times, the following points should be observed:
BC-144 + AD-99

I-CHA
• Avoid over charging. The charging period should be less than
24 hours.
• Use the battery until it becomes almost completely exhausted
under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging after
transmitting becomes impossible.
D Battery pack life
When the operating period becomes extremely short even after
charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is needed.

BASIC OPERATION
BATTERY PACKS
‘ Battery case (optional for some versions)
■ Power ON
When using a BP-208 BATTERY CASE attached to the transceiver,
install 6 AA (R6) size alkaline batteries as illustrated below.
Push [POWER] for 1sec. to turn
power ON.
Push for 1 sec.
■ Setting a frequency
D Via the keypad
q Push [D.CLR] to select VFO mode, if necessary.
w Push 6 digit keys, starting from the 100 MHz digit, to enter
the desired frequency.
D CAUTIONS
• Use ALKALINE batteries only.
• Make sure all battery cells are the same brand, type and capacity.
• Never mix old and new batteries.
Either of the above may cause a fire hazard or damage the
transceiver. If ignored.
• Never incinerate used battery cells since internal battery gas
may cause them to rupture.
• Never expose a detached battery case to water.
If the battery case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using.

• When [#•ENT
] is pushed after three or more digits are entered,

■ Offset frequency
When using a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from the
receive frequency by the offset frequency. It is convenient to program repeater information into memory channels.

shifted from the receive frequency by an amount determined by the
offset frequency.
