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:
•Reorientorrelocatethereceivingantenna.
•Increasetheseparationbetweentheequipmentandre-
ceiver.
•Connecttheequipmentintoanoutletonacircuitdiffer-
ent from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consultthedealeroranexperiencedradio/TVtechni-
cian for help.
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.

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC out-
let. 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 DC. This could
cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER reverse the DC power cable polar-
ity when connecting to a power source. This could damage
the transceiver.
RWARNING! 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.
CAUTION: NEVER place the transceiver where normal
operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could
cause bodily injury.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow
or any liquids. The transceiver may be damaged.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or
in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty environ-
ments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting any-
thing on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissi-
pation.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol to
clean the transceiver, as they will damage the transceiver’s
surfaces. If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it
clean with a soft, dry cloth.
During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver
without running the vehicle’s engine. When the transceiver’s
power is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s
battery will soon become exhausted.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when op-
erating continuously for long periods of time.
Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent
use by children.
When the optional RMK-2 and the supplied/optional micro-
phone* are attached, the transceiver’s front panel meets
IP54 requirements for dust-protection and splash resistance.
However, once the front panel with the RMK-2 have been
dropped, dust-protection and splash resistance cannot be
guaranteed because of possible damage to these cases or
the waterproof seal.
* The main body of the microphone is not dust-protection and splash
resistance.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other
manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments,
and may damage the transceiver.

nTurning power ON
When you use the transceiver for the first time, or after the
transceiver has sat unused for a long time, make sure to
check the date and time indication after turning the power
ON. If the time and date are not correct, reset them.
(p.10)
qPush [ ] to turn the power ON.

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)
-Un-matched (or matched) NAC is received.*
(Depending on the pre-setting)
-The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.
*Digital mode operation only.
• 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.

nFuse replacement
A fuse is installed in the supplied DC power cable. If a fuse
blows, or the transceiver stops functioning, track down the
source of the problem, have it repaired, and replace the
damaged fuse with a new rated one.

nCleaning
If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a
soft, dry cloth.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzene or
alcohol, as they damage the transceiver surfaces.
