SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This
instruction manual contains important operating instructions
for the IC-F1710, IC-F1810, IC-F2710 and IC-F2810 VHF/

See the operating guide for details of MDC 1200 system
operation. Consult your Icom dealer or system operator
for details concerning your transceivers programming.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
WORD DEFINITION
RWARNING Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.
CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
Icom, Icom Inc. and the Icom logo are registered trademarks of Icom Incor-
porated (Japan) in Japan, the United states, the United Kingdom, Germany,

PRECAUTIONS
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
RWARNING! 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.
RWARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable be-
tween the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection
is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.
RWARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where
normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it
could cause bodily injury.
CAUTION! NEVER allow children to touch the trans-
ceiver.
CAUTION! NEVER expose the transceiver to rain,
snow or any liquids.
USE the specified microphone only. Other microphones
have different pin assignments and may damage the trans-
ceiver.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –25°C or above +55°C, or in areas subject to
direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the ve-
hicle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if the
transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine OFF.
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.
Approved Icom optional equipment is designed for optimal
performance when used with an Icom transceiver.
Icom is not responsible for the destruction or damage to an
Icom transceiver in the event the Icom transceiver is used
with equipment that is not manufactured or approved by
Icom.

nCall procedure
When your system employs tone signaling (excluding CTCSS
and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary prior to voice
transmission. The tone signalling employed may be a selective
calling system which allows you to call specific station(s) only
and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you.
