Hello Vlad, you can check here:

also, your problem might be solved as follows (taken from Icom's FAQ page):

*Handheld Radios*
*Q: I haven't used my Icom IC-2SAT, IC-3SAT, IC-4SAT, IC-P2AT, IC-P3AT, 
IC-P4AT, IC-R1, IC-W21AT, IC-V21AT, IC-2iA, IC-4iA or IC-Delta1A 
handheld radio in a while, and now it won't turn on, even with a fresh 
charged battery pack. Why?*

A: These radios have a real time clock feature which requires their 
internal CPUs to run even when the radio is turned off. The internal 
lithium battery is actually a RECHARGEABLE type being charged by a very 
small current from the main battery pack, or external DC supply. This 
internal lithium battery can hold a charge for approximately 3 to 4 
weeks. So, the CPU will stop running, and it will require a RESTART, if 
the radio is left without a power source longer than 3 to 4 weeks.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Q: So, how do I perform this CPU restart?*

A: For IC-W21AT, IC-V21AT, IC-2iA, IC-4iA or IC-Delta1A:
To perform a CPU restart, remove the battery pack from the radio, push 
and hold the /function/ button (usually labeled /F/) and then slide the 
battery pack back on the radio while still holding down the /function/ 
button. Release the /function/ button and turn on the radio by pushing 
the /Power/ button.

A: For IC-2SAT, IC-3SAT, IC-4SAT, IC-P2AT, IC-P3AT, IC-P4AT or IC-R1:
To perform a CPU restart, attach a good, charged battery pack to the 
radio, push and hold the /function/ button (usually labeled /F/) and 
then turn the power knob while still holding down the /function/ button.

In most cases, the memory channels will remain intact after this procedure.


Good luck
