not receive or transmit. Receiving a Revive call, or entering a password*, is necessary to operate the transceiver again. When the Kill call is received, beeps sound*, and the trans-

ceiver becomes unusable. Cloning the transceiver is neces-

sary to operate the transceiver again, in this case.

* Depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for details. BASIC OPERATION 2 NOTE:

Depending on the presetting, the following functions are automatically activated. Ask your dealer for details. Auto TX function After an emergency call transmission, the transceiver trans-

mits the audio from the microphone for a set time period.*

Auto RX function After the emergency call transmission, the transceiver stands by in the audible mode for the set time period.*

* Depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for details. Emergency Call When pushing [Emergency] for the set time period*, the transceiver transmits an emergency signal once, or repeat-

edly, on the specified emergency channel. The transceiver automatically transmits a repeat emergen-

cy signal until it receives an acknowledgement signal, or you turn OFF the transceiver power. When no emergency channel is specified, it transmits the signal on the previously selected channel. If you want to cancel the emergency call, hold down [Emer-

gency] again before transmitting the call. If your transceiver is programmed for Silent operation, you can transmit an Emergency call without the beep sounding and the LED indicator lighting. IMPORTANT: It is recommended to set an emergency channel individually to provide the certain emergency call operation. 2 2 12 12 2 BASIC OPERATION Lone Worker Emergency Call When the Lone Worker function is ON, and if no operation occurs for a set time period*, the transceiver automatical-

ly enters the emergency mode. Then the countdown for the emergency call transmission starts. After a set time period* has passed, an emergency call is au-

tomatically transmitted once, or repeatedly*. If the user operates the transceiver before the call is trans-

mitted, the transceiver exits the emergency mode, and the emergency call is cancelled. To turn ON the function, see page 6. Man Down Emergency Call This function may or may not be available, depending on the presetting. When the transceiver has been left in a horizontal position for a set time period*, the transceiver enters the emergency mode, and then a countdown starts. After a set time period* has passed, an emergency call is au-

tomatically transmitted once, or repeatedly*. If the transceiver is placed in a vertical position before the first transmission, the transceiver exits the emergency mode, and the emergency call is cancelled. Motion Detection Emergency Call This function may or may not be available, depending on the presetting. If the acceleration sensor detects the user continuous-

ly moves for the set timer period and at the set speed, the transceiver enters the emergency mode, and then the count-

down starts. After a set time period* has passed, an emergency call is au-

tomatically transmitted once, or repeatedly*. Once the countdown starts, you cannot cancel the emergen-

cy call.

PRECAUTIONS VHF TRANSCEIVERS I-F1000 series I-F2000 series UHF TRANSCEIVERS Thank you for choosing the IC-F1000 series vhf transceivers or IC-F2000 series uhf transceiv-

ers. READ ALL PRECAUTIONS carefully and complete-

ly before using the transceiver. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS WORD DEFINITION RDANGER!

Personal death, serious injury or an explosion may occur. RWARNING! Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur. CAUTION Equipment damage may occur. NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock. PRECAUTIONS R 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 attentionanything 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 25C (13F) or above +55C

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

(+140F): 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 radios 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. PRECAUTIONS (Continued) CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified temperature range, for the radio 25C to +55C (13F to

+131F): ETS version, 30C to +60C (22F to +140F):

TIA version, and the battery itself 20C to +60C (4F to

+140F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the batterys 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 +50C; +122F) 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:

20C (4F) to +50C (+122F) (within a month) 20C (4F) to +40C (+104F) (within three months) 20C (4F) to +20C (+68F) (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 +10C to +40C (+50F to +104F). 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. Battery caution 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. 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 +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 short-
