PRECAUTIONS
R DANGER! 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.
R DANGER! NEVER operate the transceiver near
unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive
atmosphere. This could cause an explosion and death.
R DANGER! NEVER use or 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, fire, or cause the battery to burst.
R WARNING RF EXPOSURE! This transceiver emits
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be
observed when operating this transceiver. If you have any
questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards
please refer to the Federal Communications Commission
Office of Engineering and Technology's report on Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).

BASIC MANUAL
R WARNING! 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.
R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with
wet hands. This could cause an electric shock or damage
the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER operate with earphone, headphones
or other audio accessories at high volume levels. If you
experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level
or discontinue use.
R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power
source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity. This
could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver unless the
flexible antenna, battery pack, and jack cover are securely
attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna and battery
pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the
transceiver to dust or water will result in serious damage
to the transceiver. After exposure to water, clean the
battery contacts thoroughly with fresh water and dry them
completely to remove any water or salt residue.
