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
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—any-
thing less may result in an accident.
RWARNING! NEVER transmit without an operational
antenna for 1.2 GHz operation. Transmission into a shorted or
non resonant antenna may damage the transceiver.
RWARNING for data mode operation! The
saved file(s) in the shared folder may be modified or deleted,
or unknown file(s) may be copied into the shared folder from
the connected station when the transmission inhibit is re-
leased.
Icom Inc. assume no responsibility whatsoever for any dam-
ages or lost profits resulting from opportunities for signal com-
munications being lost because of the failure, malfunction,
poor condition, damage, or data loss of this unit or because of
such external causes as power failure. Icom also dismisses
all responsibility for demands made by a third party.
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 connect the transceiver to a power source of more
than 16 V DC. This will damage the transceiver.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using re-
verse polarity. This will damage the transceiver.
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
The transceiver may be damaged.
NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This
may result in an electric shock or damage to the transceiver.
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.

PRECAUTION
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
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.
DO NOT use the supplied CD for any other devices.
The CD is for the ID-1 only.
If a connection cable is disconnected or has a loose connec-
tion during operation, an error may occur. Connect the con-
nectors correctly, and DO NOT touch the connectors during
operation.
For the operation of PC and peripheral devices, follow the in-
structions provided in the manuals which come with the PC
and peripheral devices.
This device may cause signal interference when used in a do-
mestic setting. When interference occurs, move this unit as
far as possible away from the affected device.
All copyrights associated with this manual and all intellectual
property rights associated with the hardware and software of
the ID-1 are held by Icom Inc.
Unauthorized reproduction or transmission of this manual, or
any part hereof, is prohibited.
The content of this manual, the hardware and software asso-
ciated with the ID-1, and the appearance of the ID-1 are all
subject to change without notice.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device, not ex-
pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to
operate this device under FCC regulations.

■Unpacking
After unpacking, immediately report any damage to the deliv-
ering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping cartons.
For a description and a diagram of accessory equipment in-
cluded with the ID-1, see ‘Supplied Accessories’on p. iv of
this manual.
■Selecting a location
Select a location for the transceiver that allows adequate air
circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or vibrations, and
away from TV sets, TV antenna elements, radios and other
electromagnetic sources.
■Antenna connection
For radio communications, the antenna is of critical impor-
tance, along with output power and sensitivity. Select an-
tenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 Ωantenna, and feedline.
1.5:1 or better of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is
recommended for your desired band. Of course, the trans-
mission line should be a coaxial cable.
CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from lightning by using
a lightning arrestor.
NOTE: There are many publications covering proper an-
tennas and their installation. Check with your local dealer
for more information and recommendations.
•Antenna location for mobile operation
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.
