garding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engi-
neering and Technologys report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electro-
magnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65) RWARNING! 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. RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a 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. RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention anything less may result in an accident. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC. This will ruin the transceiver. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using reverse polarity. This will ruin the transceiver. NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liq-
uids. The transceiver may be damaged. NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage the trans-
ceiver. DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-
cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-
mit. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods. DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below 20C (4F) or above +60 C (+140F). Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children. DO NOT use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceivers surfaces.

lowing hazards: smoke, re, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degra-
dation of battery performance. R DANGER! Use and charge only speci ed Icom battery packs with Icom radios. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom radios. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs may cause smoke, re, or cause the battery to burst. D Battery caution R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the battery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely im-
pacted 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 re. 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 temperatures may also degrade battery performance or shorten battery life. 8 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. The battery is not waterproof. R DANGER! NEVER incinerate an 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 re. 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. New2001 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 speci ed 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 ex-
cessive 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 discharging. You may use the battery until the battery indicator shows half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature between 20C to +20C (
4F to +68F). BATTERY CHARGING 3 D Charging caution R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with extremely high temperatures, such as near res or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such en-
vironments, 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 battery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the battery is not completely charged by the speci ed time, stop charging and remove the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the battery beyond the speci-
ed time limit may cause a re, overheating, or the battery may rupture. 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 ed temperature range: 0C to +35C (+32F to +95 F). Icom recommends charging the battery at +20C (+68 F). The battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the speci ed temperature range. Additionally, battery perform-
ance or battery life may be reduced. 3 9 New2001 Ne 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. D Battery indicators The indicators show , and in sequence while charging, and both indicators disappear when com-
pletely charged. D Charging note Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF. Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged completely or takes longer charging time periods. External DC power operation becomes possible when using an optional CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-254L. The at-
tached battery pack is also charged simultaneously, except during transmit. (see p. 11 for more details) The external DC power supply voltage must be within 10 16 V to charge the battery pack and operation when using an optional OPC-254L. 10 BC-167A/D Transceiver to AC outlet CP-12L (Optional) to

Detach the battery pack from the transceiver then charge the battery pack by itself, or charge the battery with regu-
lar charging when the transceiver power cannot be turned OFF. Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged (charging in-
dicator on the BC-177 blinks orange about 10 sec. after the battery pack is installed in BC-177). The desktop charger, BC-177, can only be charged BP-256. 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). Reinsert the bat-
tery pack or contact your dealer. The optional CP-12L and OPC-254L can be used instead of the supplied AC adapter (BC-123A/E). Connect one of these to the [DC 13.5V] jack in this case. 3 11 New2001 Ne 3 BATTERY CHARGING Optional battery case Install 2 u LR6 (AA) size alkaline batteries into the optional BP-257 BATTERY CASE. Be sure to observe the cor-
rect polarity. A built-in step-up convertor in the BP-257 increases the voltage to 5 V DC. Approx. 100 mW of output power is possible with the BP-257 operation. Also, no transmit output power selec-
tion is available. Keep battery contacts clean. Its a good idea to clean bat-
tery terminals once a week. D Battery information The batteries may seem to have low capacity when used in low temperatures such as 10C (+14F) or below. Keep the battery case or pack warm in this case. Battery information D Battery life The transceiver operates with the BP-256 as follows. However, when operating in DV mode, operating time may be shortened by one-half hour. VHF band UHF band
: Approx. 5 hours
: Approx. 4.5 hours
(Tx: Rx: Stand-by=1: 1: 8) 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. Oth-
erwise, the battery pack or installed batteries will become exhausted. D Battery indicator The battery indicator, , appears only when the BP-256 is attached to the transceiver. The battery indicator does not appear when turning power ON after the charging is completed without disconnecting the battery charger or external DC power. D Battery replacement When the batteries become exhausted, the function display may blink or have a lower contrast. In these cases, replace all batteries with new, same brand, alkaline batteries. Indication Battery condition The battery has ample capacity. The battery is nearing exhaustion. Charging is neces-
sary. 12 New2001 External DC power operation An optional cigarette lighter cable (CP-12L or CP-19R; for 12 V cigarette lighter socket) or external DC power cable (OPC-254L) can be used for external power operation. D Operating note Power supply range is 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 CP-12L,CP-19R or OPC-254L when con-
necting a regulated 12 V DC power supply. Use an external DC-DC converter to connect the trans-
ceiver through optional CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-254L to a 24 V DC power source. The voltage of the external power supply must be within 1016 V DC when using either CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-
254L, otherwise, use the battery pack. Up to 5 W (approx.) of maximum output power is provided with the external DC power operation, however, when the supplied voltage exceeds 14 V, the built-in protection circuit activates to reduce the transmit output power to 0.5 W (ap-

bilities are available. This system provides you to with much wider coverage range during digital voice mode operation.
-D-STAR system outline Repeater A 10 GHz 440 MHz Station A Repeater C 440 MHz Station C Repeater B 440 MHz Station B Internet Internet network network 10 GHz Repeater D 440 MHz Station D For current repeater operation, stations that are communi-
cating must both be in the same repeaters operating area. However, in the D-STAR system as in the illustration at left, the repeaters can be linked via the system repeaters (with a 10 GHz signal). Thus stations A and B can communicate even though they are in different repeater operating areas. Also, the D-STAR system repeaters are connectable through the internet gateway connection capability. For example, when station B uses the gateway connection station B can communicate with the station C!
By using the gateway connection, long distance communica-
tion like DX operation may be possible with 144 or 440 MHz digital voice!
In the D-STAR system, an independent repeaters operating area is called an Area and a group that of linked repeaters via a 10 GHz backbone is called a Zone.
