PRECAUTION  
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 in) away  
from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.  
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a  
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hear-  
ing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If  
you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or dis-  
continue use.  
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, but higher fuse values will not give any  
protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be ru-  
ined.  
NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be a  
ware that external DC power connections will charge batteries  
inside the battery case. This will damage not only the battery  
case but also the transceiver.

v
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-  
mit.  
Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by chil-  
dren.  
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 –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C  
(+140°F).  
The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair trans-  
ceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.  
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 bat-  
tery pack or installed Ni-Cd batteries will become exhausted.  
For USA only:  
Caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not ex-  
pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to op-  
erate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

Battery caution  
CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack (or  
charging terminals of the transceiver). Also, current may flow into  
nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful when plac-  
ing battery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc.  
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a neck-  
lace, etc. causes shorting. This will damage not only the battery  
pack, but also the transceiver.  
NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may  
cause an explosion.  
NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack be-  
comes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the  
transceiver.  
Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or miss contact.  
Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean battery ter-  
minals once a week.  
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being  
charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON  
overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the battery  
pack still does not retain a charge (or only very little charge), a new  
battery pack must be purchased (p. 59).  
DRecycling 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 battery into  
the municipal waste stream. Call 1-800-822-8837  
for battery recycling options in your area or contact your dealer.

Charging NOTE  
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must  
be fully charged for optimum life and operation.  
• Recommended temperature range for charging:  
+10°C to +40°C (50°F to 140°F).  
• Use the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-144/BC-121 for  
rapid charging, BC-146 for regular charging) only. NEVER use other  
manufacturers’ chargers.  
The optional BP-222, BP-209 or BP-210 battery packs include  
rechargeable Ni-Cd (Ni-MH: BP-210) batteries and can be charged  
approx. 300 times. Charge the battery pack before first operating  
the transceiver or when the battery pack becomes exhausted.  
If you want to charge the battery pack more than 300 times, the fol-  
lowing points should be observed:  
• Avoid over charging. The charging period should be less than  
24 hours.  
• Use the battery until it becomes almost completely exhausted under  
normal conditions. We recommend battery charging after transmitting  
becomes impossible.  
DBattery pack life  
When the operating period becomes extremely short even after  
charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is needed.

Battery case  
(optional for some versions)  
When using a BP-208 BATTERY CASE attached to the transceiver,  
install 6 AA (R6) size alkaline batteries as illustrated below.  
DCAUTIONS  
• Use ALKALINE batteries only.  
Make sure all battery cells are the same brand, type and ca-  
pacity.  
Never mix old and new batteries.  
Either of the above may cause a fire hazard or damage the  
transceiver if ignored.  
Never incinerate used battery cells since internal battery gas  
may cause them to rupture.  
Never expose a detached battery case to water.  
If the battery case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before use.

rWhen the received signal includes a matching tone, squelch  
opens and the signal can be heard.  
• When the received signal’s tone does not match, tone squelch  
does not open, however, the S-indicator shows signal strength.  
To open the squelch manually, push and hold [SQL].

NOTE: The transceiver has 50 tone frequencies and conse-  
quently their spacing is narrow compared to units having 38  
tones. Therefore, some tone frequencies may receive interfer-  
ence from adjacent tone frequencies.

Receive accept/receive inhibit  
“Receive accept” (“SKIP” indicator does not appear) accepts  
pager calls when the transceiver receives a signal with a code  
the same as that in the code channel.  
“Receive inhibit” (“SKIP” indicator appears) rejects calls even  
when the transceiver receives a code the same as that in the  
code channel. Transmit codes should therefore be programmed  
for “receive inhibit,” otherwise the transceiver will not reject un-  
necessary calls.

Cloning allows you to quickly and easily transfer the programmed  
contents from one transceiver to another transceiver; or, data from  
a PC to a transceiver using the optional CS-V8 CLONING SOFTWARE.  
DTransceiver-to-transceiver cloning  
AT  
POWER ON  
qConnect the OPC-474 CLONING CABLE with  
adaptor plugs to the [SP] jack of the master and sub-trans-  
ceivers.  
• The master transceiver is used to send data to the sub-transceiver.  
wWhile pushing [A•FUNC] + [Y], turn power ON to enter cloning  
mode (master transceiver only— power ON only for sub-trans-  
ceiver).  
• “CLONE” appears and the transceivers enter the clone standby  
condition.  
ePush [PTT] on the master transceiver.  
• “CL” appears in the master transceiver’s display and two digit num-  
bers show that data is being transferred to the sub-transceiver.  
• “CL IN” appears automatically in the sub-transceiver’s display and  
two digit numbers show that data is being received from the master  
transceiver.  
rWhen cloning is finished, turn power OFF, then ON again to exit  
cloning mode.
