VHF LAND MOBILE RADIO
iC-f2020
UHF LAND MOBILE RADIO
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the condition that this device does not
cause harmful interference.

i
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
NEVER connect 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.
DO NOT connect the transceiver to a power source using
reverse polarity. This connection will not only blow fuses but
also may damage the transceiver.
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
instruction manual contains important operating instructions
for the IC-F1020 and IC-F2020 LMR TRANSCEIVERS.

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.
AVOID operate the transceiver without running the vehicle’s
engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if the trans-
ceiver is in transmission while the vehicle’s engine 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 expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority
to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

•A power-up alert tone sounds for
about 1 sec. and an opening mes-
sage may appears.
wIf the transceiver is programmed
for start up passcode, input digit
codes as directed by your sys-
tem operator.
•The following keys can be used for
the password input:
•The transceiver detects the numbers in the same block as the
same number. Therefore the same effect for “1234”and “6789.”
eWhen the “PASSWORD”indication does not clear after 4-
digit input, the input code number may be incorrect. Turn
power off and start over in this case.
