Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock
may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.

CAUTIONS
RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be ob-
served when operating this device. If you have any questions re-
garding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the
Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and
Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guide-
lines for Human Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET
Bulletin 65)
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC
outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while dri-
ving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything
less may result in an accident.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more
than 16 V DC. This will ruin the transceiver.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using re-
verse polarity. This 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 may be damaged.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the
vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
NEVER let objects impede the operation of the cooling fan on
the rear panel.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-
mit.
DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment con-
taining a transmitter.
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 bat-
tery will soon become exhausted.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when op-
erating it continuously for long periods.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14˚F) or above +60°C
(+140˚F).
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s surfaces.
USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other man-
ufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments and may
damage the transceiver if attached.

■Location
Select a location which can support the weight of the trans-
ceiver and does not interfere with driving in any way. We rec-
ommend the locations shown in the diagram below.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the
vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
NEVER place the transceiver where air bag deployment may
be obstructed.
DO NOT place the transceiver where hot or cold air blows di-
rectly onto it.
AVOID placing the transceiver in direct sunlight.
■Using the mounting bracket
➀Drill 4 holes where the mounting bracket is to be installed.
•Approx. 5.5–6 mm (3⁄16″) when using nuts; approx. 2–3 mm (1⁄16″)
when using self-tapping screws.
➁Insert the supplied screws, nuts and washers through the
mounting bracket and tighten.
➂Adjust the angle for the clearest view of the function dis-
play.

■Battery connection
☞NEVER connect the transceiver directly to a 24 V battery.
☞DO NOT use the cigarette lighter socket for power con-
nections.
Attach a rubber grommet when passing the DC power cable
through a metal plate to prevent short circuits.
•CONNECTING TO A DC POWER SOURCE
•See p. 00 for fuse replacement.
■DC power supply connection
Use a 13.8 V DC power supply with more than 12 A capacity.
Make sure the ground terminal of the DC power supply is
grounded.

■Antenna installation
DAntenna location
To obtain maximum performance from the transceiver, select
a high-quality antenna and mount it in a good location. A non-
radial antenna should be used when using a magnetic mount.
DAntenna connector
The antenna uses a PL-259 connector.
•PL-259 CONNECTOR
qSlide the coupling ring

The transceiver has 2 basic operating modes: VFO mode and
memory mode.
➥Push [V/MHz(SCAN)] to
select VFO mode.
➥Push [VFO/LOCK] to select VFO mode.
■Using the tuning dial
qRotate the tuning dial to set the frequency.
•If VFO mode is not selected,
push [V/MHz(SCAN)] to select
VFO mode.
•The frequency changes ac-
cording to the selected tuning
steps. (p. 00)
wTo change the frequency in 1 MHz (10 MHz for some ver-
sions) steps, push [V/MHz(SCAN)], then rotate the tuning
dial.
•Pushing [V/MHz(SCAM)] for
1 sec. starts scan function. If
scan starts, push
[V/MHz(SCAN)] again to can-
cel it.
The display shows that the
1 MHz tuning step is selected.

■Using the keypad
The frequency can be directly set via numeral keys on the mi-
crophone.
zPush [VFO/LOCK] to VFO mode, if necessary.
xPush [

cPush 6 keys to input a frequency.
•When a digit is mistakenly input, push [ ENT C] to clear
the input, then repeat input from the 1st digit.
•Pushing [ CLR A] clears input digits and retrieves the
frequency.
■Using the [Y]/[Z] keys
➥Push [Y] or [Z] to select the desired frequency.
•Pushing [Y] or [Z] for more than 0.5 sec. activates a
scan. If scan starts, push [Y] or [Z] again to cancel it.

function access, use the lock function. The transceiver has 2
different lock functions.
DFrequency lock
This function locks the tuning dial and switches electronically
and can be used together with the microphone lock function.
➥Push [SET(LOCK)] for
1 sec. to turn the lock func-
tion ON and OFF.
•[PTT], [MONI(ANM)], [VOL]
and [SQL] can be used while
the channel lock function is in
use. Also, TONE-1, TONE-2,
DTMF tones or DTMF mem-
ory contents can be transmit-
ted from the microphone.
➥Push [VFO/LOCK] for 1 sec. to switch the
lock function ON and OFF.
