Battery caution•

R DANGER! NEVER short terminals (or charging termi-

nals) of the battery pack. Also, current may ﬂow into nearby

metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful when plac-

ing battery packs (or the radio) in handbags, etc.

Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as

a necklace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not

only the battery pack, but also the radio.

R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the bat-

tery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impact-

ed 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 pack 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 short-

en battery life.

R DANGER! DO NOT 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! KEEP battery packs away from ﬁre. Fire or

heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used

battery packs in accordance with local regulations.

R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or NEV-

ER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat genera-

tion, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch ﬁre.

R DANGER! Use the battery only with the radio 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 wa-

ter, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.

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

temperature range, for the radio

–25°C to +55°C (–13°F to

+131°

): ETS version, –30°C to +60°C (–22°F to +140°F):

TIA version, and the battery itself

–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.

Please note that the speciﬁed temperature range of the bat-

tery may exceed that of the radio. In such cases, the radio

may not work properly because it is out of its operating tem-

perature range.

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 ex-

tended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a

long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharg-

ing. You may use the battery until the remaining capacity is

about half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place at the fol-

lowing temperature range:

–20°C (–4°F) to +50°C (+122°F) (within a month)

–20°C (–4°F) to +40°C (+104°F) (within three months)

–20°C (–4°F) to +20°C (+68°F) (within a year)

BE SURE to replace the battery with a new one after ﬁve

years, even if still holds a charge. The inside battery material

will deteriorate after a period of time, even with little use.

Charging caution•

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 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 radio (battery attached to

the radio) into the charger if it is wet or soiled. This could cor-

rode the battery charger terminals or damage the charger.

The charger is not waterproof.

NOTE: Charge the battery within the speciﬁed temperature

range of +10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°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 speciﬁed range, the charging will automati-

cally stop.

PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following haz-

ards: smoke, ﬁre, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can

also cause damage to the battery or degradation of bat-

tery performance.

PRECAUTIONS

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 radio that the antenna is

very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, es-

pecially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The radio will

perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches)

away from the lips and the radio is vertical.

R WARNING! NEVER operate the radio with a headset or

other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing ex-

perts advise against continuous high volume operation. If

you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume

level or discontinue use.

R WARNING! NEVER operate the radio while driving a ve-

hicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less

may result in an accident.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE the ﬂexible antenna, battery pack

and jack cover are securely attached to the radio, and that

the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Ex-

posing the inside of the radio to dust or water will result in se-

rious damage to the radio.

DO NOT

operate the radio near unshielded electrical blasting

caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

DO NOT push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to

transmit.

DO NOT

use or place the radio in direct sunlight or in ar-

eas with temperatures below –25°C (–13°F) or above +55°C

(+131°F): ETS version, below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C

(+140°F): TIA version. The basic operations, transmission

and reception of the radio are guaranteed within the speciﬁed

operating temperature 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 extreme-

ly cold areas.

DO NOT modify the radio. The speciﬁcations may change

and then not comply with the requirements of a correspond-

ed regulation. The radio warranty does not cover any prob-

lems caused by unauthorized modiﬁcation.

DO NOT

use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol

when cleaning, as they will damage the radio surfaces.

BE CAREFUL! The radio will become hot when operating it

continuously for long periods of time.

BE CAREFUL!

The radio meets IP67* requirements for dust-

tight and waterproof protection. However, once the radio has

been dropped, dust-tight and waterproof protection cannot be

guaranteed because of possible damage to the radio’s case

or the waterproof seal.

* Only when the jack cover

or the optional HM-168LWP is at-

tached.

Even when the radio power is OFF, a slight current still ﬂows

in the circuits. Remove the battery pack from the radio when

not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed battery

pack will become exhausted, and will need to be recharged

or replaced.

MAKE SURE to turn the radio power OFF before connecting

the supplied or optional equipment.
