Your Icom radio generates RF electromag-
netic 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 employ-
ment 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 Industry Canada RF
Exposure Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation
shall comply with the following two conditions:
• The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.
• IC-F620:
The transmitter antenna is required to be located outside
of a vehicle and kept at a separation distance of 37 cen-
timeters or more between the transmitter antenna of this
device and persons during operation.
To ensure that your exposure to RF elec-
tromagnetic energy is within the FCC
allowable limits for occupational use,
always adhere to the following guidelines:
•DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna
attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause
you to exceed FCC 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 RF exposure compliance requirements to
be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indica-
tor” lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by push
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 radi-
ation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
NEVER connect 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 cut-
ting, the transceiver might be damaged.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation
of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodi-
ly injury.
NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver.
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liq-
uids.
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 –22°F (–30°C) or above +140°F (+60°C) or,
in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
AVOID operating the transceiver without running the vehi-
cle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if the
transceiver 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
obstruct heat dissipation.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or
alcohol 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.

■Turning power ON
qPush to turn the power ON.
• A power-up alert tone sounds for about 1 sec. and an
opening message may appear.
wIf the transceiver is programmed for a start up passcode,
input the digit codes as directed by your dealer.
• The keys in the table below can be used for password
input.
• The transceiver detects numbers in the same block as
identical. Therefore “01234” and “56789” are the same.
eWhen the “PASSWORD” indication does not clear after
inputting digit codes, the input code number may be incor-
rect. Turn the power off and start over in this case.
‘‘General
Push to turn the power ON. A power-up alert tone will be
heard. Push again to turn the power OFF. The following
information will sequentially appear on the display.
DDOpening text
The pre-programmed opening text and individual ID will
appear.
The individual ID consisting of a prefix code (3 digits) + a fleet
code (2 digits)+ an individual code (2 or 3 digits) will appear.
(e.g.) If the prefix code is 200, the fleet code 2001, and the
individual code 300, the individual ID will be ‘2002001300’.
•If you are within the trunking service area, the code (select-
ed by [ ]/[ ]) and the received signal strength, are dis-
played to indicate that communication is possible.
*In the “-TEXT-” part, the characters pre-programmed by cloning soft-
ware will be displayed.
•If you are outside of the trunking service area, or if the sys-
tem is down, will blink.
At this time, the transceiver is searching for any available
system-controlled channel.
