iV85  
iV85-T  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is  
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause  
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference  
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.  
PRECAUTIONS  
RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits  
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be ob-  
served when operating this device. If you have any questions  
regarding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to  
the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engi-  
neering and Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance  
with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio frequency Electro-  
magnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65)  
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC  
outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.  
NEVER connect a power supply of more than 16 V DC  
through the optional CP-19R CIGARETTE LIGHTER CABLE to the  
[DC 11V] jack to prevent damaging the transceiver.  
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using  
reverse polarity. This will ruin the transceiver.  
NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and  
fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting,  
the transceiver may be damaged.  
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.  
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.  
The transceiver may be damaged.  
NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands.  
This may result in an electric shock or ruin the transceiver.  
RWARNING! 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 or discontinue use.  
NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be  
aware that external DC power connections will charge batter-  
ies inside the battery case. This will damage not only the bat-  
tery case but also the transceiver.  
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while  
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—  
anything less may result in an accident.  
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-  
mit.

settings may be changed from the factory defaults because  
of the Quality Control  
process. Resetting the CPU  
is necessary to start from  
factory default.  
4. Tune the desired frequency  
The up/down keys, [Y]/[Z], will  
allow you to tune to the frequency  
that you want to operate on. Page  
18 will instruct you on how to adjust  
the tuning step size.

BATTERY PACKS  
■ Cautions  
• 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.  
Misuse of Lithium-Ion batteries may result in the follow-  
ing hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture.  
Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degra-  
dation of battery performance.  
• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate an used battery pack since  
internal battery gas may cause it to rupture, or may cause  
an explosion.  
• R DANGER! Use and charge only specified 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, fire, or cause  
the battery to burst.  
• 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 in-  
struction manual.  
D Battery caution  
• 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.  
• 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 dis-  
tributor.  
• R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas  
with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature  
build up 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 temper-  
atures may also degrade battery performance or shorten  
battery life.  
• WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part  
of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the  
battery.

D Charging caution  
2
• 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.  
• R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with  
extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves,  
inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such envi-  
ronments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will acti-  
vate, causing the battery to stop charging.

4
• CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specified tem-  
perature range for the transceiver (–10˚C to +60˚C; +14˚F  
to +140˚F) and the battery itself (–10˚C to +60˚C; +14˚F to  
+140˚F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature  
range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life.  
5
6
• 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.  
7
8
• CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is  
left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive  
temperature environment (above +45˚C; +113˚F) 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 battery becomes  
about half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place  
with the temperature between –20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to  
+95˚F).

• 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 spec-  
ified temperature range: 10˚C to +40˚C (+50˚F to +104˚F).  
Icom recommends charging the battery at +20˚C (+68˚F).  
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.

Weather alert function  
An NOAA broadcast station transmits weather alert tone be-  
fore important weather announcements. When the weather  
alert function is turned ON, the selected weather channel is  
monitored each 5 sec. for the announcement. When the alert  
signal is detected, the “ALt” and the WX channel are dis-  
played alternately and sounds a beep tone until the trans-  
ceiver controls are manipulated. The previously selected  
weather channel is checked periodically during standby or  
while scanning.  
Shows above indications alternately.  
• Weather alert function OFF  
➥ Turn the weather alert function OFF in SET MODE.  
• Repeat above procedure described at step w  
NOTE: While receiving a signal (on a frequency other than  
the weather alert ON frequency), the receiving signal or  
audio will be interrupted momentarily every 5 sec. (approx.)  
in case the alert function is turned ON. This is caused by  
the WX alert function. To eliminate the interruptions, set the  
weather alert item OFF in SET MODE.

■ Tone squelch  
D Operation  
The tone squelch opens only when receiving a signal con-  
taining a matching subaudible tone. You can wait for calls  
from group members using the same tone and not hear other  
signals.  
NOTE: The transceiver has 50 tone frequencies and con-  
sequently their spacing is narrow compared to units having  
38 tones. Therefore, some tone frequencies may receive  
interference from adjacent tone frequencies.  
To prevent interference from adjacent tone frequencies,  
using the frequencies as in the following table, is recom-  
mended.  
q Set the operating frequency.

■ Partial reset  
■ CPU reset  
If you want to initialize the operating conditions (VFO fre-  
quency, VFO settings, set mode contents) without clearing  
the memory contents, a partial resetting function is available  
for the transceiver.  
The function display may occasionally display erroneous in-  
formation (e.g. when first applying power). This may be  
caused externally by static electricity or by other factors.  
If this problem occurs, turn power OFF. After waiting a few  
seconds, turn power ON again. If the problem persists, per-  
form the following procedure.  
➥ While pushing [CLR], push and hold [PWR] for 1 sec. to  
partially reset.  
• Partial resetting is also available. See left for details.  
IMPORTANT!:  
Resetting the transceiver CLEARS all memory information  
and initializes all values in the transceiver.  
➥ While pushing [MONI] and [CLR], push and hold [PWR]  
for 1 sec. to reset the CPU.  
• “CLEAR” indicates, then initial display appears.
