FOREWORD  
PRECAUTION  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before  
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 away from the lips and the  
transceiver is vertical.  
using the transceiver.  
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL— This instruction  
manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-F15/  
F15S VHF TRANSCEIVER and IC-F25/F25S UHF TRANSCEIVER.  
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset  
or other audio accessories at high volume levels.  
CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack.  
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS  
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source other than the  
BP-230, BP-231 or BP-232. Such a connection will ruin the trans-  
ceiver.  
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.  
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in  
areas with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C.  
WORD  
RWARNING  
CAUTION  
NOTE  
DEFINITION  
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock  
may occur.  
Equipment damage may occur.  
DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.  
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk  
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.  
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.  
The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver  
performance and invalidate the warranty.  
OPERATING NOTES  
• When transmitting with a portable radio, hold the radio in a vertical  
position with its microphone 5 to 10 centimeters away from your  
mouth. Keep the antenna at least 2.5 centimeters from your head  
and body.  
• If you wear a portable two-way radio on your body, ensure that the  
antenna is at least 2.5 centimeters from your body when transmit-  
ting.

When your system employs tone signalling (excluding CTCSS and  
DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary prior to voice trans-  
mission. The tone signalling employed may be a selective calling  
system which allows you to call specic station(s) only and prevent  
unwanted stations from contacting you.

For IC-F15S/F25S:  
The memory channels 3 and 4 are available when [MR-CH 3]  
and [MR-CH 4] keys are assigned.  
Time-out timer  
After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time period,  
the time-out timer activates, and causes the transceiver to stop  
transmitting.  
e When receiving a call, adjust the audio output level to a comfort-  
able listening level.  
Penalty timer  
Once the time-out timer activates, transmission is further inhibited  
for a period determined by the penalty timer.  
Transmitting:  
Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference.  
q While pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the microphone at  
a normal voice level.  
DDTMF transmission  
If the transceiver has [DTMF Autodial] assigned to it, the automatic  
DTMF transmission function is available.  
When a tone signalling system is used, the call procedure de-  
scribed on p. 13 may be necessary.  
w Release [PTT] to return to receive.  
Push [DTMF Autodial] to transmit the DTMF code.  
IMPORTANT!: To maximize the readability of your signal;  
1. Pause briey after pushing [PTT].  
2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm from your mouth, then speak  
into the microphone at a normal voice level.

BATTERY CHARGING

BATTERY CHARGING

I Caution  
Prior to using the transceiver for the rst time, the battery pack must  
be fully charged for optimum life and operation.  
RDANGER Charge the specied Icom batteries only.  
Only tested and approved for use with genuine Icom batteries. Fire  
and/or explosion may occur when a third party battery pack or  
counterfeit product is charged.  
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn it OFF while  
charging.  
Recommended temperature range for charging:  
+10°C to +40°C  
CAUTION! NEVER insert battery pack/transceiver (with the bat-  
tery pack attached) with wet or soiled into the charger. This may re-  
sult in corrosion of the charger terminals or damage to the charger.  
The charger is not waterproof and water can easily get into it.  
5
- The Li-Ion battery functions within 20°C to +60°C  
Use the specified chargers (BC-119N, BC-121N and BC-160).  
NEVER use another manufacturers charger.  
Use the optional AC adapter. NEVER use another manufacturers  
AC adapter.  
NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may  
cause an explosion.  
NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack be-  
comes wet, be sure to wipe it dry immediately (particularly the bat-  
tery terminals) BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver. Otherwise,  
the terminals will become corroded, or cause connection failure,  
etc.  
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, charging the battery in in-  
tervals, and not for extended periods is recommended.  
NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may  
ow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace, etc. Therefore,  
be careful when carrying with, or placing near metal objects, carry-  
ing 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 indi-  
cator appears, then remove it from the transceiver.  
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being  
charged, 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.
