FEATURES
❍Large, bright OLED display
A fixed mount VHF airband first, the IC-A210 has an organic light
emitting diode (OLED) display. The all man-made lighting emits its
own light and the display offers many advantages in brightness,
vividness, high contrast, wide viewing angle and response time
compared to a conventional display. In addition, the auto dimmer
function can adjust the display for optimum brightness, during day or
night.
❍Easy channel selection
It’s fast and easy to select any of the memory channels in the
IC-A210. The “flip-flop” arrow button switches between active and
standby channels. The DualWatch function allows you to monitor
two channels simultaneously. In addition, the history memory chan-
nel stores the last 10 channels used and allows you to recall those
channels easily.
❍GPS memory function
When connected to an external GPS receiver* equipped with an air-
port frequency database, the IC-A210 will instantly tune in the local
airport frequency as you fly into its airspace.
*Ask your dealer for available GPS receiver details.
❍13.8 V/27.5 V DC power source
The built-in DC-DC converter accepts a 13.8 or 27.5 V DC power
source. The IC-A210 is easily installed in most airplanes or vehicles.
❍Intercom function
The IC-A210 has a built-in voice activated intercom function allow-
ing the pilot to talk with a co-pilot, or other person, via headsets. The
IC-A210 has adjustable audio level and squelch control functions.

DO NOT place unit in a non-secure place to avoid inad-
vertent use by children.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually intending to
transmit.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above
+55°C (+131°F).
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. This will ob-
struct heat dissipation.
DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.
PRECAUTIONS
ii
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with
a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op-
eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the
volume level or discontinue use.
NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a
power source of more than 28 V DC. Such a connection will
damage the transceiver.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is
DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection
will be protected by this fuse, higher fuse values will not give
any protection against such accidents and the transceiver
will be damaged.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-
cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
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.
FCC caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver,
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority
to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

■Frequency selection
IC-A210 has 2 ways to select a desired frequency.
ï General frequency selection
Select a desired frequency which is used for the next operat-
ing frequency in the standby frequency indicator. Then ex-
change the active frequency for the standby frequency.
NOTE: Operate from “Standby frequency selection
(Step 1-2)” to “Frequency exchanging (Step 2-2)” as
pgs. 5, 6.
ï Direct frequency selection
A desired frequency direct selection is available.
Refer to “Direct frequency selection mode operation.”
■Standby frequency selection
(Step 1-2)
qRotate [VOL] clockwise to turn power ON.
• Previously used frequencies appear in the active and
standby frequency indicators.
wRotate [DIAL] and [O-DIAL] to select a desired frequency
to the standby frequency.
• The active frequency is not affected.
• Rotate [O-DIAL] to set above 1 MHz digit.
• Rotate [DIAL] to set below 100 kHz digit.
TIP: For quick frequency setting, often used frequen-
cies can be programmed into memory channels. Refer to
“MEMORY OPERATION” (pgs. 9–18).
When a memory channel is recalled, the previous standby
frequency is erased.
CAUTION: DO NOT turn the power ON until the air-
craft engines have been started. It is very important for
protection of the power supply circuit.

6
2BASIC OPERATION
■Frequency exchanging
(Step 2-2)
qAfter selecting the standby frequency, push [↔]to ex-
change it with the active frequency.
• Adjust the squelch level in the menu mode, if necessary (p. 24).
• Rotate [VOL] to set the volume level, if necessary.
• When receiving a signal, “RX” appears and audio is heard from
the speaker or headset.
• Further adjustment of audio level may be necessary at this
point.
wPush and hold [PTT] to transmit, then speak into the mi-
crophone.
• Transmit indicator “TX” lights.
eRelease [PTT] to receive.
Frequency exchanging can be also performed remotely from
the yoke-mounted frequency exchange switch.
■Receiving
qSelect an operating frequency.
• Refer to pgs. 5, 6 for details.
• “RX” appears when receiving a signal or opening squelch.
wPush [VOL] to open the squelch manually.
• Refer to p. 20 “Squelch test function” for details.
eRotate the volume control to adjust the audio level.
■Transmitting
qSelect the yoke-mounted communication/intercom switch
to the “communication” position.
wSelect an operating frequency.
• Refer to pgs. 5, 6 in details.
ePush the PTT switch.
• “TX” appears.
rSpeak into the microphone at your normal voice level.
• DO NOT set the microphone too closely to your mouth or speak
too loudly. This may distort the signal.
tRelease the PTT switch to receive.
NOTE: To prevent interference, listen on the frequency
before transmitting. If the frequency is busy, wait until the
frequency is clear.
NOTE: DO NOT push and hold [↔]continuously. Oth-
erwise, the standby frequency disappears. If this happens,
again push and hold [↔]until the standby frequency reap-
pears.

quency indicator.
The active frequency and the standby
frequenies are exchanged.
Previously used frequencies appear.
Rotate the large tuning dial to change
the standby frequency in MHz steps.
Rotate the small tuning dial to change
the standby frequency in kHz steps.

2BASIC OPERATION
■Direct frequency setting
mode operation
The direct frequency setting mode operation is useful when
setting a desired frequency directly as the active frequency.
qPush and hold [↔]for 2 sec. to enter the direct frequency
setting mode.
• Only the active frequency is displayed.
wSet an operating frequency.
• Refer to pgs. 5, 6 in details.
ePush [RCL] or [↔]to exit the direct frequency setting
mode.
■DualWatch operation
The DualWatch operation monitors the active frequency
at certain intervals even when receiving a signal on the
standby frequency. When a signal is received on the active
frequency, the radio switches to the active frequency and
stays on it until the signal disappears, irrespective of the
standby frequency status.
qPush [DUAL] to enter DualWatch operation.
• “DUAL” appears on the active frequency indicator.
• The active or standby frequency’s “RX” blinks when receiving a
signal or opening the squelch.
wPush [DUAL] again to exit DualWatch operation.
• “DUAL” disappears.

■Programming notes
ïBlank channel
A memory or group channel with no frequency content is
called as a blank channel. When a blank channel is selected
while memory programming, “–––––” appears instead of a
frequency.
ïMemory protect function
IC-A210 has a memory protect function. The function pre-
vents accidental changes or deletion.
The function can be set in the MENU mode (p. 24).
■Entering memory mode
• Push [RCL] to enter the memory mode.
• Push [RCL] to set the selected memory channel frequency
to the standby frequency, then exit the memory mode.
• Push and hold [RCL] for 2 sec. to exit the memory mode
without changing the previously set standby frequency.

• The channel number appears.
• The memory channel name also appears if it has been entered.
w Rotate [O-DIAL] to select the history memory channel.
• “HISTORY” appears.
e Rotate [DIAL] to select a desired channel.
• Push [↔]to exchange the history memory channel frequency
to the active frequency if necessary.
rPush [RCL] to exit the memory mode.
■ Clearing the memory contents
(Regular and group memory
channels only)
Unwanted memory channels can be cleared.
