RWARNING!
CAUTION NOTE DEFINITION Personal death, serious injury or an explo-
sion may occur. Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur. Equipment damage may occur. If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock. i PRECAUTION R DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace, etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc. 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 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 vertical. R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset 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. CAUTION: NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a power source of more than 11.5 V DC. Such a connection will damage the transceiver. CAUTION: NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will be protected by this fuse, higher fuse values will not give any protec-
tion against such accidents and the transceiver will be ruined. DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment containing a transmitter. DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blast-
ing caps or in an explosive atmosphere. DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below 10C (+14F) or above +60C (+140F). Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the battery pack or in-
stalled Alkaline cell batteries will become exhausted. FCC caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to op-
erate this transceiver under FCC regulations. (U.S.A. only) CAUTION: Use of 8.33 kHz Channel Spacing of this radio is strictly prohibited and shall not be used in Canada. MISE EN GARDE: Utilisation de 8.33 kHz Espacement des ca-

Internal battery gas may cause an explosion. R DANGER! NEVER immerse battery pack in water. If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry im-
mediately (particularly the battery terminals BEFORE at-
taching it to the transceiver). R DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the bat-
tery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace, etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc. CAUTION: NEVER insert battery pack/transceiver
(with the battery pack attached) with wet or soiled into the charger. This may result in corrosion of the charger terminals or damage to the charger. The charger is not waterproof and water can easily get into it. If your battery pack seem to have no capacity even after being charged, completely discharge them by leaving the power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very lit-
tle), new battery pack must be purchased. Turn the transceiver power OFF when charging the battery pack. Otherwise, the battery pack may not fully charge or charge properly. 26 Battery charging Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation. CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn the power OFF while charging. Recommended temperature range for charging:
+10C to +40C (+50F to +104F) Use the supplied AC adapter on regular charging. NEVER use another manufactures adapters. Use the specified chargers (BC-119N, BC-121N and BC-144N).

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 away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical. R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op-
eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use. NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a power source of more than 12 V DC. Such a connection will damage the transceiver. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will be protected by this fuse, higher fuse values will not give any protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be ruined. NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, cur-
rent may ow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace, etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc. iii DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment containing a transmitter. DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below 10C (+14F) or above
+60C (+140F). The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty. Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still ows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the battery pack or installed dry cell batteries will become ex-
hausted. FCC caution: Changes or modications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations. (U.S.A. only) Icom, Icom Inc. and the logo are registered trademarks of Icom Incor-

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn the power OFF while charging. Recommended temperature range for charging:
+10C to +40C (+50F to +104F)
- The Li-Ion battery is functioning within 20C to +60C
(4F to +140F) Use the supplied AC adapter on regular charging. NEVER use another manufactures adapters. Use the specified chargers (BC-119N, BC-121N and BC-
144N). NEVER use another manufactures charger. NEVER connect DC power to the transceiver when in-
stalling Alkaline batteries. Such a connection will damage the transceiver. D Recycling information (U.S.A. only) The product that you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this bat-
tery into the municipal waste stream. Call 1-800-
822-8837 for battery recycling options in your area or contact your dealer. 25 I Battery cautions CAUTION! NEVER insert battery pack/transceiver
(with the battery pack attached) with wet or soiled into the charger. This may result in corrosion of the charger terminals or damage to the charger. The charger is not waterproof and water can easily get into it. NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion. NEVER immerse battery pack in water. If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry immediately (particularly the battery terminals BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver. NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, cur-
rent may ow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace, etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc. If your battery pack seem to have no capacity even after being charged, completely discharge them by leaving the power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little), new battery pack must be purchased. Turn the transceiver power OFF when charging the battery pack. Otherwise, the battery pack may not become full-
charging or may not charge properly. IC-A24-Nocl.qxd 04.9.1 5:50 PM Page 27 D Regular charging q Attach the battery pack to the transceiver. w Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF. e Connect the Wall charger or optional cable (CP-12L, CP-
20 or OPC-254L) as shown below. r Charging the battery pack approx. 8 hours, depending on the remaining power condition. DO NOT charge BP-210N more than 12 hours. Otherwise, BP-210N will be damaged. BP-210N must be charged for 812 hours only. IC-A24/A6 with at-
tached battery pack Turn power OFF CP-12L (for 12 V) or CP-20 (for 24 V)
