RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
NEVERconnect the transceiver to a power source of more
than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection 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 might be damaged.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of
the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily
injury.
NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver.
NEVERexpose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
USE supplied microphone only. Other microphones have
different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.
CAUTIONSIMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com-
pletely before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL— This

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –30°C or above +60°C or, in areas subject
to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
AVOID operating the transceiver without running the vehi-
cle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if the
transceiver is in transmission while the vehicle’s engine is
OFF.
AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
AVOID placing the transceiver against walls. This will ob-
struct heat dissipation.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver sur-
faces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not ex-
pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate
this transceiver under FCC regulations.

■Turning power ON
qPush [K
I] to turn the power ON.
wIf the transceiver is programmed for a start up passcode,
input digit codes as directed by your System operator.

•The transceiver detects numbers in the same block as identical.
Therefore “1234” and “6789” are the same.
eWhen all channel indicator LEDs still blink after inputting 4
digits, the input code number may be incorrect. Turn
power off and start over in this case.

■Antenna
A key element in the performance of any communication sys-
tem is an antenna. Ask your dealer about antennas and the
best places to mount them.
■Fuse replacement
Two fuses are installed in the supplied DC power cable. If a
fuse blows or the transceiver stops functioning, track down
the source of the problem, if possible, and replace the dam-
aged fuse with a new, rated one.
