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 performance.

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 fire.

R

DANGER! NEVER place or leave battery packs 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 the battery pack’s 

performance or shorten the battery cell’s life.

R

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.

R

DANGER! NEVER place battery packs   near a fire.

Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. 

Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with local 

regulations.

R

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.

R

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.

R

WARNING! NEVER Iet fluid from inside the battery cells 

come in contact with your body. If it does, immediately 

wash with clean water.
CAUTION: DO NOT continue to use the battery pack 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.
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 with a 

clean dry cloth before using.

CAUTION: DO NOT use the battery pack out of the 

specified temperature range for the transceiver –25°C ~ 

+55°C (–13°F ~ +131°F): ETS version, –30°C ~ +60°C 

(–22°F ~ +140°F): TIA version, and the battery itself –20°C 

~ +60°C (–4°F ~ +140°F). Using the battery out of its 

specified temperature range will reduce its performance 

and battery cell’s life. Please note that the specified 

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.
CAUTION: 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. 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 five years after manufacturing, even if it still 

holds a charge. The material inside the battery cells 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 pack appears to 

be fully charged, the operating time of the transceiver may 

become short when:

 • Approximately 5 years have passed since the pack was 

manufactured.

 •The pack has been repeatedly charged.

D

R

DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas 

with extremely high temperatures, such as near fires 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

WARNING! NEVER charge the transceiver during a 

lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause 

a fire 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 specified time for charging. If 

the battery is not completely charged by the specified time, 

stop charging and remove the battery from the battery 

charger.

Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specified time 

limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may 

rupture.
CAUTION: DO NOT 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 pack outside of the 

specified temperature range: 10˚C to 40˚C (50˚F to 104˚F). 

Icom recommends charging the pack at 25˚C (77˚F). The 

pack may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified 

temperature range. Additionally, pack’s performance or 

battery cell life may be reduced.

usable only when they are preset by your dealer. The 

transceiver may have other functions and operations that 

are not described in this instruction sheet. Ask your dealer 

for preset function details.

Your Icom radio generates RF 

electromagnetic energy while 

transmitting. This radio is designed for 

and classified as for “Occupational Use 

Only.” This means 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 and IC RF exposure 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 KDB Publication 447498 D03, 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 Recommended Practice for the Measurement of 

Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and 

Microwave.

 •  The antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker-microphone, 

and other accessories that are listed in “OPTIONS” 

on this sheet, are authorized for use with this product. 

Use of accessories other than those specified may 

result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC and IC 

requirements for wireless RF exposure.

 •  Health Canada Safety Code 6 - Limits of Human 

Exposure to Electromagnetic Energy in the Frequency 

Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

To ensure that your expose to RF 

electromagnetic energy is within the FCC 

and IC allowable limits for occupational 

use, 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 and IC 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 the total radio 

use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 

50% of the time can cause FCC and IC RF exposure 

compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is 

transmitting when the status indicator lights red. You can 

cause the radio to transmit by pushing 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 listed in “OPTIONS” on this sheet when 

attaching the radio to your belt, or other place, to ensure 

FCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements are 

not exceeded.
