PRECAUTION
BE CAREFUL! The IC-M88 employs waterproof con-
struction, which corresponds to JIS waterproof specification,
Grade 7 (1 m; 3 ft depth for 30 min.). However, once the
transceiver has been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guar-
anteed due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked,
or the waterproof seal damaged, etc.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
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.
MAKE SURE the flexible antenna and battery pack are
securely attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna and
battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside
of the transceiver to water will result in serious damage to the
transceiver.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source other
than the BP-226 or BP-227. Such a connection will ruin the
transceiver.
For U.S.A. only
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F): Marine, below –30°C (–22°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F): LMR.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device, not
expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to
operate this device under FCC regulations.
KEEP the transceiver out of the reach of children.
KEEP the transceiver at least 0.9 meters (3.0 ft) away from
your vessel’s magnetic navigation compass.

OPERATING RULES
1
(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE
D Priorities
A restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license
most often held by small vessel radio operators when a radio
is not required for safety purposes.
• Read all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities and
keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and distress calls
take priority over all others.
The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must be
posted near the transceiver or be kept with the operator. Only
a licensed radio operator may operate a transceiver.
• You must monitor Channel 16 when you are not operating
on another channel.
• False or fraudulent distress calls are prohibited under law.
However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a transceiver
if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends the call and
makes the necessary log entries.
D Privacy
• Information overheard but not intended for you cannot law-
fully be used in any way.
A current copy of the applicable government rules and regu-
lations is only required to be on hand for vessels in which a
radio telephone is compulsory. However, even if you are not
required to have these on hand it is your responsibility to be
thoroughly acquainted with all pertinent rules and regulations.
• Indecent or profane language is prohibited.
D Radio licenses
(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE
When your craft is equipped with a VHF FM transceiver, you
must have a current radio station license before using the
transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship station which is not
licensed.
Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate government
agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license. This license in-
cludes the call sign which is your craft’s identification for radio
purposes.
NOTE: Even though the IC-M88 is capable of operation
on VHF marine channels 3, 21, 23, 61, 64, 81, 82 and 83,
according to FCC regulations these simplex channels can-
not be lawfully used by the general public in USA waters.

I Scan types
Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a
wide frequency range. The transceiver has priority scan and
normal scan.
Set the tag channels (scanned channel) before scanning.
Clear the tag channels which inconveniently stop scanning,
such as digital communications.
In addition, the weather alert and auto scan function is avail-
able for standby convenience. These functions can be acti-
vated simultaneously, depending on the settings in SET
mode. (pgs. 18, 19)
Choose priority or normal scan in SET mode. (p. 18)

Normal scan, like priority scan, searches through all tag
channels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan, Chan-
nel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a tag
channel.
Priority scan searches through all tag channels in sequence
while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is detected on
Channel 16, scan pauses until the signal disappears; when
a signal is detected on a channel other than Channel 16,
scan becomes dualwatch until the signal disappears.

BATTERY CHARGING
9
I Battery charging
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
I Cautions
NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas
may cause an explosion.
NEVER immerse the 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.
Otherwise, the terminals will become corroded, or cause con-
nection failure, etc.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn it OFF
while charging.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
+10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F)
- The Li-Ion battery is functioning within –20°C to +60°C
(–4°F to +140°F)
• Use the specified chargers (BC-119N, BC-121N and BC-
152). NEVER use another manufacturer’s charger.
• Use the supplied AC adapter (BC-147A/E) for BC-152.
NEVER use another manufacturer’s AC adapter.
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.
AVOID leaving the battery pack in a fully charged, or com-
pletely discharged condition for long time. It causes shorter
battery life. In case of leaving the battery pack unused for a
long time, it must be kept safely after discharge, or use the
battery until the battery indicator shows the middle level, then
remove it from the transceiver.
Recommendation:
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 very little), a
new battery pack must be purchased.
Charge the supplied battery pack for a maximum of
up to 10 hours. Li-Ion batteries are different from Ni-
Cd batteries in that it is not necessary to completely
charge and discharge them to prolong the battery life.
Therefore, charging the battery in intervals, and not
for extended periods is recommended.
