Caution
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, re, or cause
the battery to burst.
DD
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 re.
R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas
with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature
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 re. Excessive temper-
atures may also degrade battery performance or shorten
battery life.
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 used battery pack since in-
ternal battery gas may cause it to rupture, or may cause an
explosion.
R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals. This may
cause heat generation, and the battery may rupture, 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 specied in this in-
struction 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 dis-
tributor.
WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part
of the body that comes into contact with uid from inside the
battery.
Misuse of LiTHIUM-ion batteries may result in the fol-
lowing hazards: smoke, re, or the battery may rupture.
Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degra-
dation of battery performance.

WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven,
high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker.
This could cause a re, overheating, or cause the battery to
rupture.
CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specied tem-
perature range for the transceiver (–10˚C to +60˚C; +14˚F
to +140˚F) and the battery itself (–20˚C to +60˚C; –4˚F to
+140˚F). Using the battery out of its specied temperature
range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life.
Please note that the specied temperature range of the bat-
tery may exceed that of the transceiver. In such cases, the
transceiver may not work properly because it is out of its op-
erating temperature range.
CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is
left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive
temperature environment (above +50˚C; +122˚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 indicator
shows half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place
with the temperature between –20˚C to +20˚C (–4˚F to
+68˚F).
DD
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 envi-
ronments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will acti-
vate, causing the battery to stop charging.
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 specied time, stop
charging and remove the battery from the battery charger.
Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specied time
limit may cause a re, overheating, or the battery may rup-
ture.
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: +5˚C to +35˚C (+41˚F to +95˚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.

TONE SQUELCH AND POCKET BEEP
By monitoring a signal that is being operated with pocket
beep, tone or DTCS squelch function, you can determine the
tone frequency or DTCS code necessary to open a squelch.
qSet the frequency to be checked for a tone frequency or
code.
wTurn the desired tone type ON in set mode; “TONE” (re-
peater tone), “TSQL” (tone squelch) or “DTCS” (DTCS
squelch).
• One of “T,” “TSQL” or “DTCS” appears.
Even if the pocket beep function is activated, it is cancelled when
the tone scan is started.
eWhile pushing and holding [FUNC], push [CALL]
(
MODE
SCAN
) for 1 sec. to start the tone scan.
•To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].
r When the CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit DTCS code is
matched, the squelch opens and the tone frequency or
code is temporarily programmed into the selected condi-
tion, such as a memory channel.
The tone scan pauses when a CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit
DTCS code is detected.
CONVENIENT!
Even if no tone type is selected, pushing and holding [CALL]
(
MODE
SCAN
) for 1 sec. while pushing and holding [FUNC]
also starts tone scan. In this case, the tone scan searches for
repeater tone frequency only.
NOTE: The decoded tone frequency or code is pro-
grammed temporarily when a memory channel is se-
lected. However, this will be cleared when the memory
channel is re-selected.

DD
Offset frequency
Sets the offset frequency for duplex (re-
peater) operation for each frequency band in-
dependently within 0 to 159.995 MHz range.
During duplex operation (–DUP or +DUP),
the offset frequency shifts the transmit fre-
quency (or while [SQL] (
ATT
SET
) is pushed).
The default value may differ according to the selected fre-
quency band (before accessing set mode) and transceiver ver-
sion.
The selected tuning step in VFO mode is used for setting
the offset frequency.
DD
Tone selection
Sets the tone encoder, tone squelch or DTCS
squelch operation and pocket beep capabil-
ity, when waiting for the desired signal.
OFF : Regular noise squelch operation. (default)
•TONE : Using tone encoder. Some repeaters require
subaudible tones to be accessed.
TSQL : Using tone squelch. The squelch opens only
when a signal with matched subaudible tone is
received.
•PBEEP : In addition to the “TSQL” setting, alert beeps
will sound when a signal with matched tone is
received.
DTCS : Using DTCS squelch. The squelch opens only
when a signal with matched DTCS code is re-
ceived.
•PDTCS: In addition to the “DTCS” setting, alert beeps
will sound when a signal with matched DTCS
code is received.
The subaudible tone frequency and DTCS code are pro-
grammed as the tone frequency and DTCS code items, re-
spectively.
