sion may occur.
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock
RWARNING!
may occur.
CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
NOTE
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
PRECAUTIONS
R DANGER! NEVER
short the terminals (or charging terminals)
of the battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects
such as a key, so be careful when placing battery packs (or the
communication terminal) in bags, etc. Simply carrying with or plac-
ing near metal objects may cause shorting. This may damage not
only the battery pack, but also the communication terminal.
R DANGER!
Use and charge only specified Icom battery packs
with Icom terminals or Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs are
tested and approved for use with Icom terminals 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 device emits Radio Fre-
quency (RF) energy. Caution should be observed when operat-
ing this device. 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 Fre-
quency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).
R WARNING! NEVER
hold the communication terminal so that
the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body,
especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The communica-
tion terminal will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2
to 4 inches) away from the lips and the communication terminal is
vertical.
R WARNING! NEVER
operate the communication terminal with
an earphone, headphones or other audio accessories at high vol-
ume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high vol-
ume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the
volume level or discontinue use.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE
the flexible antenna and battery pack
are securely attached to the communication terminal, and that the
antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the
inside of the communication terminal to water will result in serious
damage to the communication terminal. After exposure to water,
clean the battery contacts thoroughly with fresh water and dry them
completely to remove any water or salt residue.
CAUTION: DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as benzine or al-
cohol to clean the communication terminal, because they can dam-
age the communication terminal's surfaces.

DO NOT
operate the communication terminal near unshielded
electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT
use or place the communication terminal in direct sun-
light or in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F).
DO NOT
push the PTT unless you actually intend to transmit.
DO NOT
modify the communication terminal. The terminal war-
ranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized mod-
ification.
BE CAREFUL!
The communication terminal meets IPX7* re-
quirements for waterproof protection. However, once the communi-
cation terminal has been dropped, waterproof protection cannot be
guaranteed because of possible damage to the communication ter-
minal's case or waterproof seal.
* Only when the BP-271 or BP-272 (option), flexible antenna or antenna cap
and [ / ] cap are attached.
The optional BP-273 and HM-186LS meet IPX4 requirements for
splash resistance. When it is attached, the communication termi-
nal corresponds to IPX4.
• Battery caution
R DANGER! DO NOT
hammer 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 fire.
R DANGER! NEVER
use or leave battery pack in areas with
temperatures above +60°C (+140°F). High temperature 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 temperatures may also degrade battery per-
formance or shorten battery life.
R DANGER! DO NOT
expose the battery to rain, snow, seawa-
ter, 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
incinerate a used battery pack since in-
ternal battery gas may cause it to rupture, or may cause an explo-
sion.
PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
R DANGER! NEVER
solder the battery terminals, or
modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the
-
battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fire.
R DANGER!
Use the battery only with the communication ter-
minal for which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other
equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruc-
tion manual.
R DANGER!
If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes,
blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rub-
bing 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 inside 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 tempera-
ture range, –10°C to +60°C (+14°F to +140°F). Using the battery out
of its specified temperature range will reduce the battery's perfor-
mance and battery life.
CAUTION:
Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left
fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive tempera-
ture environment (above +50°C; +122°F) for an extended period of
time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be de-
tached from the terminal after discharging. You may use the battery
until the battery indicator shows half capacity, then keep it safely in
a cool dry place at the following temperature range:
–20°C (–4°F) to +50°C (+122°F) (within a month)
–20°C (–4°F) to +35°C (+95°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 deterio-
rate after a period of time, even with little use.
• Charging caution
R DANGER! NEVER
charge the battery pack in areas with ex-
tremely 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 bat-
tery to stop charging.
R WARNING! DO NOT
charge or leave the battery in the bat-
tery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the battery is
not completely charged by the specified time, stop charging and re-
move the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the
battery beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheat-
ing, or the battery may rupture.
R WARNING! NEVER
insert the communication terminal (bat-
tery attached to the communication terminal) 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: NEVER
charge the battery outside of the specified
temperature range:
BC-202: ±0°C to +40°C (+32°F to +104°F)
BC-211: +10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F)
Icom recommends charging the battery at +25°C (+77°F). The bat-
tery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified temper-
ature range. Additionally, battery performance or battery life may
be reduced.

IP100H and Bluetooth ® Interference
Bluetooth ® uses the 2.4 GHz band. When using the IP100H in the
NEVER
2.4 GHz band near a Bluetooth ® device, interference may occur.
This may cause a decrease in communication speed, and an un-
stable connection.
In such case, use the IP100H away from the Bluetooth
communication area, or stop using the Bluetooth
RECOMMENDATION
CLEAN THE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL
THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH WATER after
exposure to saltwater. Otherwise, the commu-
nication terminal's keys, switches and control-
lers may become inoperable due to salt crys-
tallization.
