EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

The explicit deﬁnitions below apply to this instruction manual.

PRECAUTIONS

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 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.

WORD DEFINITION

RWARING Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock

may occur.

CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.

NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of

personal injury, ﬁre or electric shock.

PRECAUTIONS— continued

NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be

aware that external DC power connections will charge batteries

inside the battery case. This will damage not only the battery

case but also the transceiver.

DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-

mit.

Place the 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.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

CAUTION

To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic en-

ergy is within the FCC allowable limits, always adhere to

the following guidelines:

•DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached,

as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to ex-

ceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the an-

tenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an

antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use

with this radio.

•DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time

(“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time

can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be

exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator” is

lit. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT”

switch.

•ALWAYS use Icom authorized accessories (antennas, batter-

ies, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized acces-

sories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance

requirements to be exceeded.

IC-V8_New.qxd 02.5.23 10:55 Page v (1,1)

•ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from

the body when transmitting, and only use the Icom belt-clips

which are listed in this manual when attaching the radio to

your belt, etc. To provide the recipients of your transmission

the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2

inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side.

The information listed above provides the user with the in-

formation needed to make him or her aware of RF expo-

sure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates

within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. Electro-

magnetic Interference/Compatibility. During transmissions,

your Icom radio generates RF energy that can possibly

cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid

such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs

are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in

areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such

as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
