EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
WORD DEFINITION
RDANGER! Personal death, serious injury or an explosion may
occur.
RWARNING! Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may
occur.
CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of per-
sonal injury, fire or electric shock.
SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES
The following accessories are supplied with the transceiver.
Flexible antenna
Hand strap
Belt clip
Battery pack*1
Battery charger*2Power adapter*2
*1Battery case is supplied with some versions.
*2Not supplied with the battery case supplied versions.

R DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery
pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects, such
as keys, and so on. Therefore, be careful when carrying with,
or placing near metal objects, carrying in bags, and so on.
R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery
packs with Icom transceivers or Icom chargers. Only Icom
battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom
transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party
or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke,
fire, or cause the battery to burst.
RWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the
antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the
body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume
operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce
the volume level or discontinue use.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver
near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive
atmosphere.
CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as
Benzine or alcohol to clean the transceiver, because they
can damage the transceiver’s surfaces.
DO NOT place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas
with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F).
KEEP the transceiver in a secure place to prevent use by
unauthorized persons.
KEEP the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and
NEVER immerse it in the water. The transceiver
construction is water resistant, not waterproof.
CLEAN and wipe dry the battery terminals after using the
transceiver in wet conditions. The terminals may rust if not
dried before using.

FCC INFORMATION
•FOR CLASS A UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide rea-
sonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver,
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your author-
ity to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

t Set the desired frequency using [Y]/[Z]keys or the key-
pad keys.
y When a signal is received on the set frequency:
• The “ ” icon appears.
• Squelch opens and audio is emitted from the speaker.
When the squelch setting is too “tight” (large number setting),
squelch may not open for weak signals. To receive weaker
signals, loosen (small number setting) the squelch.
■Transmitting
q Set the desired frequency in COM band pushing [Y]/[Z]
or the keypad keys (IC-A14 only).
• COM band frequency range: 118.00–136.975 MHz
w Hold down [PTT] to transmit.
• The “ ” icon appears.
e Speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.
• DO NOT hold the transceiver too close to your mouth or speak
too loudly. This may distort the signal.
r Release [PTT] to receive.
NOTE: About Time-Out-Timer function
To prevent prolonged transmission, according to regula-
tory requirements, the IC-A14/S has a Time-Out Timer
function. This timer cuts OFF transmission after the set
time period of continuous transmission.
The Time-Out Timer is set in the Set mode. See page 26
for details.
CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna may damage
the transceiver.
NOTE: To prevent interference, listen on the frequency
before transmitting. If the frequency is busy, wait until it is
clear.
