IMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com-
pletely before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL- This
instruction manual contains important operating instructions
for the IC-F1020 and IC-F2020 LMR TRANSCEIVERS.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
The following explicit definitions apply to this manual.
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock
&'NA,R~~INIG may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
SmarTrunk II™ is a Trademark of SmarTrunk Systems, Inc.
CAUTIONS
LtWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
NEVERconnect the transceiver to a power source of more
than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection will ruin
the transceiver.
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.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of
the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily
injury.
NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver.
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
DO NOT connect the transceiver to a power source using
reverse polarity. This connection will not only blow fuses but
also may damage the transceiver.
USE supplied microphone only. Other microphones have
different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below -30°C (-22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F) or,
in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
AVOID operate the transceiver without running the vehicle's
engine. The vehicle's battery will quickly run out if the trans-
ceiver is in transmission while the vehicle's engine
OFF.
AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
AVOID placing the transceiver against walls. This will ob-
struct heat dissipation.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver sur-
faces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver,
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority
to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
