Precautions

For the transceiver

WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power source and antenna before a storm.

WARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehi le may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.

WARNING! Immediately disconnect the AC adapter if the transceiver emits an abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor for advice.

CAUTION: NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 32 V DC. This could damage the transceiver.

CAUTION: NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.

CAUTION: Confirm that all connectors and jacks are dry and clean before attachment. Exposing them to dust or water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.

CAUTION: The Antenna unit will become hot when operating continuously for long periods.
NEVER place the transceiver in an insecure place to avoid inadvertent use by unauthorized persons.
DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in areas with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the vehicle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out when the transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine is OFF.

DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in excessively dusty environments.

DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. Otherwise heat dissipation will be obstructed.

DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver’s surfaces.

Keep the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and never immerse it in the water.

The transceiver meets IP54(main unit) / IP55 (microphone) / IP67 (antenna unit) requirements for dust-protection and splash resistance. However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dust protection and splash resistance cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, and so on.
Only when the microphone is attached. Use the specified microphone only.

Other microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.

In some countries, using a satellite communication device may be prohibited, or a license is required. Make sure you comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your area.

For the optional AC adapter

WARNING! NEVER use other than the transceiver. This may result in an electrical shock, cause a fire or damage the AC adapter.

WARNING! Connect the adapter into an outlet between 100 V and 240 V AC.
Otherwise, this may result in an electrical shock, cause a fire or damage the AC adapter.

WARNING! NEVER install the AC adapter to wet place where is outside or near the humidifier. This may result in an electrical shock, cause a fire or damage the AC adapter.

WARNING! NEVER put something heavy on the AC adapter cable. This may result in an electrical shock, cause a fire or damage the AC adapter.

WARNING! NEVER modify, bend by force, twist, pull or heat the AC adapter’s cable. This may result in an electrical shock, cause a fire or damage the AC adapter.

WARNING! NEVER touch the AC adapter with wet hands. This may result in anelectrical shock or damage the AC adapter.

WARNING! NEVER use the AC adapter when it can not closely insert into the AC outlet. This may result in an electrical shock, cause a fire or damage the AC adapter.

WARNING! Use and place the AC adapter and connection cable to avoid inadvertent use by children. This may result in an electrical shock or cause injury.

FCC information

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.

Safety training information

Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational
Use Only”, meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment.
For compliance with FCC and IC RF Exposure Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with the following three conditions:

1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 3 dBi.
2. The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at a distance of 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) or more between the transmitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located on the roof top at any place on the center line along the vehicle in order to achieve 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
3. Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum distance of 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) away from the properly installed antenna.
   This separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements in the applicable RF exposure compliance standards.

To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC and IC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:

• DO NOT operat e the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC and IC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna 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 and IC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the status indicator lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.

Electromagnetic 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.
