FCC INFORMATION
• FOR CLASS B UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in ac-
cordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio communications. However, there is no guaran-
tee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to cor-
rect the interference by one or more of the following meas-
ures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and re-
ceiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit differ-
ent from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-
cian for help.

PRECAUTIONS
RCAUTION! 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. The
transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 2 to 4 in. (5
to 10 cm) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
RCAUTION! NEVER operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
RCAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the bat-
tery pack.
RCAUTION! NEVER use non-Icom battery packs/
chargers to prevent the loss of the transceiver’s good per-
formance and warranty.
DO NOT push [PTT] when not actually desiring to transmit.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below +22°F (–30°C) or above
+140°F (+60°C).
The basic operations, transmission and reception of the
transceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating
temperature range. However, the LCD display may not be
operated correctly, or show an indication in the case of long
hours of operation, or after being placed in extremely cold
areas.
DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.
KEEP the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and
Never immerse it in the water. The transceiver construction
is water resistant, not waterproof.
Icom optional equipment is designed for optimal perform-
ance when used with this transceiver. We are not respon-
sible for the transceiver being damaged or any accident
caused when using non-Icom optional equipment.
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.

Several types of channel selections are available. Methods
may differ according to your system set up.
NON-ZONE TYPE:
Push [CH Up] or [CH Down], or rotate [ROTARY SELEC-
TOR]* to select the desired operating channel, in sequence;
or, push one of [MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4] keys to select a

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

cording to your System Operator’s instructions.
• This may not be necessary depending on programming.
• Refer to (pages 14 or 15) for selection.

DTransmitting notes
• Transmit inhibit function
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:
- The channel is in mute condition (‘Inaudible’ condition;
“ ” does not appear.)
- The channel is busy.
- Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received.
(Depending on the pre-setting.)
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.
• Time-out timer
After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time
period, the time-out timer is activated, causing the trans-
ceiver to stop transmitting.
• Penalty timer
Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further
inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer.
