RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be ob-
served when operating this device. If you have any questions re-
garding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the
Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and
Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guide-
lines for Human Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET
Bulletin 65)
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC
outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while dri-
ving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything
less may result in an accident.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more
than 16 V DC. This will ruin the transceiver.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using re-
verse polarity. This 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 may be damaged.
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
The transceiver may be damaged.
NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This
may result in an electric shock or ruin the transceiver.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the
vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment con-
taining a transmitter.
During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver
without running the vehicle’s engine. When the transceiver’s
power is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s bat-
tery will soon become exhausted.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when op-
erating it continuously for long periods.
AVOID placing the transceiver against walls or putting any-
thing on the top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissi-
pation.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14˚F) or above +60°C
(+140˚F).
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s surfaces.
USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other man-
ufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments and may
damage the transceiver if attached.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
■Installation
DLocation
Select a location which can support the weight of the trans-
ceiver and does not interfere with driving in any way. We rec-
ommend the locations shown in the diagram below.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the
vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
NEVER place the transceiver where air bag deployment may
be obstructed.
DO NOT place the transceiver where hot or cold air blows di-
rectly onto it.
AVOID placing the transceiver in direct sunlight.
DUsing the mounting bracket
➀Drill 4 holes where the mounting bracket is to be installed.
• Approx. 5.5–6 mm (1⁄4″) when using nuts; approx. 2–3 mm (1⁄8″)
when using self-tapping screws.
➁Insert the supplied screws, nuts and washers through the
mounting bracket and tighten.
➂Adjust the angle for the clearest view of the function dis-
play.
IMPORTANT!
Detailed installation notes for Icom mobile transceivers to
be fitted into vehicles are available. Contact your Icom
dealer or distributor.

DBattery connection
☞NEVER connect the transceiver directly to a 24 V battery.
☞DO NOT use the cigarette lighter socket for power con-
nections. (See p. 5 for details)
Attach a rubber grommet when passing the DC power cable
through a metal plate to prevent short circuiting.
• CONNECTING TO A DC POWER SOURCE
• See p. 90 for fuse replacement.
DDC power supply connection
Use a 13.8 V DC power supply with at least 15 A capacity.
Make sure the ground terminal of the DC power supply is
grounded.
• CONNECTING TO A DC POWER SUPPLY
• See p. 90 for fuse replacement.

DAntenna installation
•Antenna location
To obtain maximum performance from the transceiver, select
a high-quality antenna and mount it in a good location. A non-
radial antenna should be used when using a magnetic mount.
•Antenna connector
The antenna uses a PL-259 connector.
• PL-259 CONNECTOR
qSlide the coupling ring
down. Strip the cable
jacket and soft solder.
wStrip the cable as shown
at left. Soft solder the cen-
ter conductor.
eSlide the connector body
on and solder it.
rScrew the coupling ring
onto the connector body.
(10 mm ≈3⁄8 in)
NOTE: There are many publications covering proper an-
tennas and their installation. Check with your local dealer
for more information and recommendations.
DConnecting a microphone
Connect a microphone to the eight-pin modular socket on the
front panel of the transceiver.
