Icom IC-V10MR Instructions 1

PRECAUTIONS

R

WARNING! NEVER

use or charge Icom battery packs

with non-Icom transceivers or non-Icom chargers. Only

Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with

Icom transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using

third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may

cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.

R

WARNING! 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.

R

WARNING! NEVER

operate the transceiver with a

headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.

The continuous high volume operation may cause a

ringing in your ears. If you experience the ringing, reduce

the volume level or discontinue use.

CAUTION: DO NOT

short the terminals of the battery

pack. Shorting may occur if the terminals touch metal

objects such as a key, so be careful when placing the

battery packs (or the transceiver) in bags, and so on.

Carry them so that shorting cannot occur with metal

objects. Shorting may damage not only the battery pack,

but also the transceiver.

CAUTION: DO NOT

use harsh solvents such as Benzine

or alcohol when cleaning. This could damage the

equipment surfaces. If the surface becomes dusty or dirty,

wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.

CAUTION: DO NOT

place or leave the transceiver in

excessively dusty environments. This could damage the

transceiver.

NOTE: DO NOT

place or leave the transceiver in areas

with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C

(+140°F), or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the

dashboard.

BE CAREFUL!

The transceiver meets IP67* requirements

for

dust tight and waterproof protection. However, once

the transceiver has been dropped, dust protection and

splash resistance cannot be guaranteed due to the fact

that the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof

seal damaged, and so on.

* Only when the jack cover, the optional HM-168LWP,

HS-

94LWP, or HS-95LWP is attached.

Icom is not responsible for the destruction, damage to, or

performance of any Icom or non-Icom equipment, if the

malfunction is because of:

•

Force majeure, including, but not limited to, fires,

earthquakes, storms, floods, lightning, other natural

disasters, disturbances, riots, war, or radioactive

contamination.

• The use of Icom transceivers with any equipment that is

not manufactured or approved by Icom.

RECOMMENDATION

CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY IN A BOWL

OF FRESH WATER

after exposure to saltwater, and dry

it before operating. Otherwise, the transceiver’s keys and

switches may become unusable, due to salt crystallization,

and/or the charging terminals of the battery pack may

corrode.

NOTE:

If the transceiver’s waterproof protection appears

defective, carefully clean the transceiver with a soft,

damp (fresh water) cloth, then dry it before operating. The

transceiver may lose its waterproof protection if the case,

or jack cover is cracked or broken, or the transceiver has

been dropped.

D

Battery caution

Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following

hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse

can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of

battery performance.

R

DANGER! NEVER

solder the battery terminals, or

NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat

generation, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or

catch fire.

R

DANGER! NEVER

place or leave battery packs in

areas with temperatures above 60°C (140°F). High

temperature buildup in the battery cells, such as could

occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle,

or in direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause

the battery cells to rupture or catch fire. Excessive

temperatures may also degrade the battery pack’s

performance or shorten the battery cell’s life.

R

D

ANGER! NEVER

strike or otherwise impact the battery

pack. Do not use the battery pack if it has been severely

impacted or dropped, or if the pack has been subjected to

heavy pressure. Battery pack 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! NEVER

place battery packs

near a fire.

Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode.

Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with local

regulations.

R

DANGER! NEVER

let fluid from inside the battery get in

your eyes. This can cause blindness. Rinse your eyes with

clean water, without rubbing them, and immediately get

medical treatment from an eye doctor.

R

WARNING! NEVER

put the battery pack in a microwave

oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating

cooker. This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the

battery cells to rupture.

R

WARNING! NEVER

Iet fluid from inside the battery cells

come in contact with your body. If it does, immediately

wash with clean water.

CAUTION: DO NOT

continue to use the battery pack 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.

CAUTION: DO NOT

expose the battery pack to rain,

snow, saltwater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use

a wet pack. If the pack gets wet, be sure to wipe it with a

clean dry cloth before using.

CAUTION: DO NOT

use the battery pack out of the

specified temperature range for the transceiver –30°C

(–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), and the battery itself

–20°C ~ +60°C (–4°F ~ +140°F). Using the battery out of

its specified temperature range will reduce its performance

and battery cell’s life. Please note that the specified

temperature range of the battery may exceed that of the

transceiver. In such cases, the transceiver may not work

properly because it is out of its operating temperature

range.

CAUTION: DO NOT

leave the pack fully charged,

completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature

environment (above 50°C, 122°F) for an extended

period of time. If the battery pack must be left unused

for a long time, it must be detached from the transceiver

after discharging. You may use the battery pack until the

remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a

cool and dry place at the following temperature range:

–20°C ~ +50°C (–4°F ~ +122°F) (within a month)

–20°C ~ +40°C (–4°F ~ +104°F) (within three months)

–20°C ~ +20°C (–4°F ~ +68°F) (within a year)

BE SURE

to replace the battery pack with a new one

approximately five years after manufacturing, even if it still

holds a charge. The material inside the battery cells will

become weak after a period of time, even with little use.

The estimated number of times you can charge the pack

is between 300 and 500. Even when the pack appears to

be fully charged, the operating time of the transceiver may

become short when:

• Approximately 5 years have passed since the pack was

manufactured.

• The pack has been repeatedly charged.

D

Charging caution

R

DANGER! NEVER

charge the battery pack in areas

with extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or

stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight.

In such environments, the safety/protection circuit in the

battery will activate, causing the battery to stop charging.

R

WARNING! NEVER

charge the transceiver during a

lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause

a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the

power adapter before a storm.

R

WARNING! NEVER

charge or leave the battery in the

battery 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

rupture.

CAUTION: DO NOT

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 pack outside of the

specified temperature range: 10˚C to 40˚C (50˚F to 104˚F).

Icom recommends charging the pack at 25˚C (77˚F). The

pack may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified

temperature range. Additionally, pack’s performance or

battery cell life may be reduced.

CAUTION:

DO NOT

use the power adapter unless

the power outlet is easily accessible and near the unit.
