■ Regular charging
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
D Battery icons
While charging, the icons show “ ,” “ ” and “ (dis-
appears)” in sequence, and “CHARGE” appears when the
transceiver’s power is OFF. The icons and “CHARGE” disap-
pear when the battery pack is completely charged.

after connecting to the DC power supply, the battery pack
may have problem. In this case, contact your Icom dealer/
distributor, or purchase a new battery pack.
