WARNING	Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur.
CAUTION	Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE	Recommended for optimum use. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

⚠ WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.

⚠ 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. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 in) away from the lips, and the transceiver is vertical.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source other than the BP-215L. Such a connection will ruin the transceiver.

NEVER charge battery packs except in the methods described in this manual.

AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with temperatures below -20^ ( -4^ ) or above +60^ ( +140^ ).

AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they may damage the transceiver surfaces.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver rear panel will become hot when operating continuously for long periods.

BE CAREFUL! The IC-M1V employs waterproof construction, which corresponds to JIS waterproof specification, grade 7 (1 m/30 min.). However, once the transceiver has been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, etc.

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.

There are 128 codes (00 to 127) available with UT-98, or 32 codes (01 to 32) available with UT-112, for programming. In order to understand one another, all transceivers in your group must have the same unit* and scramble code.

*Different scrambling systems are used between UT-98 and UT-112, therefore the same scrambler unit must be used in your group.

Scrambling code 00 (default)

*01 min. when UT-112 is installed.

Scrambling code 127*

*32 max. when UT-112 is installed.

BATTERY CHARGING

■ Caution

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 connection failure, etc.

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 completely 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.

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.

■ Battery charging

Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.

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)
• Use the supplied charger (AD-95) only. NEVER use another manufacturer's charger.
• An optional cable OPC-515L (for 13.8 V power source) or CP-17L (for 12 V cigarette lighter socket) can be used instead of the AC adapters of the supplied charger.

Recommendation:

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, charge the battery in intervals, and not for extended periods is recommended.

• For convenience:
  

◇ Charging

① Connect the AC adapter (BC-122A/E, BM-95V) or optional cable (CP-17L or OPC-515L) as shown below.
② Insert the battery pack with/without the transceiver into the charger.
• The charge indicator light shows green.
③ Charge the battery pack for approx. 9–10 hours, depending on the remaining power condition.

10 SPEAKER-MICROPHONE

■ Descriptions

NEVER immerse the connector in water. If the connector becomes wet, be sure to dry BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver.

NOTE: The microphone is located at the top of the speaker-microphone, as shown in the diagram above. To maximize the readability of your transmitted signal (voice), hold the microphone approx. 2.5 cm (1 inch) from your mouth, and speak in a normal voice level.

■ Attachment

Insert the connector of the speaker-microphone into the [SP MIC] connector on the transceiver and rotate (screw) the connector cover as shown in the diagram below.

CAUTION: Attach the speaker-microphone's connector securely to prevent accidental dropping, or water intrusion in the connector.

IMPORTANT: KEEP the [SP MIC] jack cover attached (transceiver) when the speaker-microphone is not in use. Water will not get into the transceiver even if the cover is not attached, however, the terminals (pins) will become rusty, or the transceiver will function abnormally if the connector has become wet.
