Caution should be observed when operating this device. If you have any questions regard-
ing RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technologys report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65) 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. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm
(2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is verti-
cal. R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with an earphone, headphones 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 level or discontinue use. R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention anything less may result in an accident. 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. R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the trans-
ceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or may damage the transceiver. CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna and battery pack are securely attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to 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 wa-
ter or salt residue. iii CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as ben-
zine or alcohol to clean the transceiver, because they can damage the transceivers surfaces. DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-
cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. DO NOT push the PTT unless you actually intend to trans-
mit. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when op-
erating it continuously for long periods of time. DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below 20C (4F) or above
+60C (+140F). Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children. PRECAUTIONS BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets IPX7* require-
ments for waterproof protection. However, once the trans-
ceiver has been dropped, waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceiver's case or waterproof seal.
* Only when the BP-271 or BP-272 (option), flexible antenna,
[MIC/SP] cap and [DATA/DC IN] cap are attached. The BP-273 meets IPX4 requirements for splash resistance. When it is connected, the transceiver corresponds to IPX4. Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or batteries from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed battery pack or batteries will become exhausted, and will need to be recharged or replaced. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 iv The GPS receiver may not work if the transceiver operates near the 440.205 MHz.

Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery performance. R DANGER! NEVER short the terminals (or charging termi-
nals) 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 transceiver) in bags, 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 transceiver. R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery packs with Icom radios or Icom charger. 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 may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst. Battery caution D R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the bat-
tery. 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. 9 R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas with temperatures above +60C (+140F). 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 shorten 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! NEVER incinerate a used battery pack since internal battery gas may cause it to rupture, or may cause an explosion. R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat gen-
eration, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fire. R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver 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 water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately. 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. WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the battery. 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 tem-
perature range, 20C to +60C (4F to +140F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the batterys performance and battery life. CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an exces-
sive temperature environment (above +50C; +122F) for an extended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio after dis-
charging. 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:
20C (4F) to +50C (+122F) (within a month). 20C (4F) to +35C (+95F) (within three months). 20C (4F) to +20C (+68F) (within a year). BATTERY CHARGING 3 Charging caution 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. 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 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 rup-
ture. WARNING! NEVER 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 outside of the speci-
fied temperature range: 0C to +35C (+32F to +95F). Icom recommends charging the battery at +25C (+77F). The battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified temperature range. Additionally, battery perfor-
mance or battery life may be reduced. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 10 3 BATTERY CHARGING Regular charging Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.

Rapid charging The optional BC-202 rapidly charges of the BP-271 or BP-272 Li-ion battery packs. Charging note D Be sure to turn OFF the transceiver power. When the transceiver power cannot be turned OFF, detach the battery pack from the transceiver then charge the battery pack by itself, or charge the battery using regular charging. Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged (the charg-
ing indicator on the BC-202 blinks orange about 10 second after the battery pack is installed in BC-202). The BC-202 desktop charger can only charge BP-271 or BP-272 Li-ion battery packs. Other types of rechargeable battery, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH cannot be charged. If the charging indicator blinks orange, there may be a problem with the battery pack or charger. If this occurs, try charging the battery pack alone, without the transceiver, or try using the standard (non-rapid) charger. Contact your dealer if you have problems charging a new battery pack. NEVER place the transceiver with the battery pack to the desktop charger when the transceiver is connected to the DC power supply. This may cause the chargers malfunc-
tion and the charging indicator of the charger lights red. In that case, disconnect the AC adapter from the charger, and then reconnect the AC adapter to the charger. The optional CP-23L and OPC-515L can be used instead of the supplied AC adapter. Connect one of these to the

ceiver, try charging the BP-271 alone. You can also try charging the BP-271 alone using the standard (non-rapid) battery charger. 13 A built-in step-up converter in the BP-273 increases the voltage to 5.5 V DC. Approximately 100 mW of output power is possible with the BP-273 operation. Also, the transmit output power selec-
tion is disabled. The batteries may seem to have low capacity when used in low temperatures, such as 10C (+14F) or below. Keep the batteries warm in this case. CAUTION:
When installing batteries, make sure they are all the same brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old batteries together. Keep the battery terminals clean. Its a good idea to peri-
odically clean the battery terminals. Never incinerate used battery cells since the internal bat-
tery gas may cause them to rupture. Never expose a detached battery case to water. If the bat-
tery case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using it. Never use batteries whose insulated covering is damaged.

*2 The average operating life depends on the alkaline cells used. The battery has sufficient capacity. The battery is exhausted a little. The battery is nearing exhaustion. Charging is necessary. (The transceiver can be operated for a short time.) The battery is almost exhaustion. Charging is necessary. (The transceiver quickly becomes impossible to operate.) 15 External DC power operation An optional CP-12L or CP-19R cigarette lighter cable, for a 12 V cigarette lighter socket, or an OPC-254L external DC power cable can be used for external power. Operating note D The power supply voltage must be between 10.016.0 V DC. NEVER CONNECT OVER 16 V DC directly into the [DC IN]
jack of the transceiver. BE SURE to use a CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-254L when connecting a regulated 12 V DC power supply. Use an external DC-DC converter to connect the transceiv-
er through an optional CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-254L to a 24 V DC power source. The voltage of the external power supply must be between 1016 V DC when using either CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-
254L, otherwise, use the battery pack. Disconnect the power cables from the transceiver when not using it. Otherwise, the vehicle battery will become ex-
hausted. The power save function is automatically deactivated when using an external DC power source. BATTERY CHARGING 3 Transceiver CP-12L (Optional) to

NEVER transmit for long periods of time. When the transceiver is used for prolonged transmissions at high power or middle power, the transceiver radiates heat to protect itself from overheating. The transceivers chassis will become hot and may cause a burn. To prevent the transceivers overheating, the default setting of the time-out timer function is set to 5 minutes (p. 62). Be careful when the time-out timer function is turned OFF or set to a long time period, and transmission is made for long periods. DO NOT operate the transceiver in a situation that will obstruct heat dissipation, especially if the transceiver is operated with an external power supply. Heat dissipation may be affected, and it may cause a burn, warp the casing or damage the transceiver. NOTE: When the transceiver becomes hot from continuous transmission, etc., the transceivers heat protection function gradually reduces the output power to approximately 2.5 W, then it stops transmission after that. This is done to protect the transceiver itself until it has cooled down. CONNECT the rated voltage range when using external power supply. Transmit power selection The transceiver has four output power levels to suit your op-
erating requirements. S-Low output power during short-range communications may reduce the possibility of interference to other stations and will conserve battery power. Hold down
