ject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. WARNING: MODIFICATION OF THIS DEVICE TO RECEIVE CEL-
LULAR RADIO TELEPHONE SERVICE SIGNALS IS PROHIBITED UNDER FCC RULES AND FEDERAL LAW. IC-T90A_IM.qxd 02.5.28 01:12 PM Page b (1,1) FOREWORD Thank you for purchasing this Icom product. The IC-T90A MULTIBAND TRANSCEIVER is designed and built with Icoms superior technology and craftsmanship. With proper care, this product should provide you with years of trouble-
free operation. The IC-T90A is a tri-band, 6 m, 2 m (140 MHz), 440 MHz FM transceiver that offers a wide-band AM, FM and WFM scan-
ning receiver. Not only you can hear your favorite TV pro-
grams with the pre-programmed TV memories, but also you can listen to short wave, AM and FM broadcast radio stations, police, re, military, aircraft, various amateur bands and more. New DMS(Dynamic Memory Scan) bank scanning provides 555 alphanumeric memory channels, including 50 band edges, with a maximum of 18 banks or 100 channels per bank, you can pick and choose any desired channel for scan-
ning from the 500 memories. The supplied BP-217 LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PACK provides full 5 W outputs. Along with the energy conserving settings the BP-217 provides up to 5 to 6 hours of operating time. The supplied MB-83 swivel type belt clip performs quick draw action for attach/detach the transceiver from the belt clip. And newly designed antenna also provides a stable signal strength. i We want to thank you for making your IC-T90A your radio of choice, and hope you agree with Icoms philosophy of technology rst.

This device emits Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be observed when operating this device. If you have any ques-
tions regarding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technologys report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65) WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 1 to 2 in (2 to 5 cm) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical. WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume oper-
ation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the vol-
ume level or discontinue use. NEVER CONNECT a power supply more than 11.5 V DC to the DC jack. The supply voltage must be between 5.5 V and 11.5 V to prevent damaging the trans-
ceiver. NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet . Such a connection will damage the transceiver. iii NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will be protected by this fuse, but higher fuse values will not give proper protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be ruined. DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below +14F (10C) or above
+140F (+60C). The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty. Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still ows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the battery pack or installed batteries will become exhausted. For U.S.A. only CAUTION: Changes or modications to this device, not ex-
pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this device under FCC regulations.

50 MHz Approx. 6 hr. 144 MHz Approx. 5 hr. 440 MHz Approx. 5 hr. at high power, Tx : Rx : Standby = 1:1:8 13 I Battery cautions NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion. NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver. NEVER short terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may ow into nearby metal objects so be careful when placing bat-
tery packs in handbags, etc. If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or very little), a new battery pack must be purchased. Use Icom battery packs, chargers and cables only. The use of non-Icom products may impair transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty. Even when the transceiver power OFF, a slight current still ows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the battery pack or installed batteries will become exhausted.

Please keep the battery case or pack warm in this case. D Battery replacement When the batteries become exhausted, the function display may ash or have a lower contrast. In these cases, replace all batteries with new, same brand, alkaline batteries. BATTERY CHARGING 3 I External power operation An optional cable CP-19 (for 12 V cigarette lighter socket) can be used for external power operation. Power supply range is between 5.511.0 V DC. NEVER CONNECT OVER 11.5 V DC direct into the DC power jack of the transceiver. BE SURE to use CP-19 when connecting regulated 12 V DC power supply. If a battery pack is attached, the voltage of the external power must be within 11.516 V DC, otherwise, the bat-
tery power may be used for operation. The maximum output power is 5.0 W regardless of the power supply voltage. Remove the cables from the transceiver when not using it. Otherwise, the vehicle battery will become exhausted. CP-19
