In this instruction manual, the following descriptions are used;

IC-F9511S/IC-F9521S/IC-F9523S : Simple type IC-F9511T/IC-F9521T/IC-F9523T : 10-key type FCC INFORMATION ABOUT IPR 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:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and re-

ceiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit differ-

ent from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-

cian for help. This device is made under license under one or more of the following U.S. Patents: #4,590,473; #4,636,791; #5,148,482;

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. RWARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable be-

tween the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connec-

tion is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged. RWARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury. CAUTION! NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver. CAUTION! NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. The transceiver may be damaged. USE the specified microphone only. Other microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver. DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-

peratures below 30C (22F) or above +60C (+140F), or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard. DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-

ronments. iii DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the ve-

hicles engine. The vehicles battery will quickly run out if the transceiver transmits while the vehicles engine OFF. DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. This will ob-

struct heat dissipation. DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating continuously for long periods. When the optional RMK-2 and the supplied/optional micro-

phone* are attached, the transceivers 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. For U.S.A. only 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.

This radio is designed for and classified as Occupational Use Only, meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by indi-

viduals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the General Population in an uncontrolled environment. W ARNING For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with the following two conditions:

1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi. 2. IC-F9511S/T:

The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at a distance of 48 cm or more between the transmitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located on the roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle in order to achieve 48 cm separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 48 cm away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders. IC-F9521S/T:

The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at a distance of 38.6 cm or more between the transmitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located on the roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle in order to achieve 38.6 cm separa-

tion distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 38.6 cm away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders. 3. IC-F9511S/T:

Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recom-

mended minimum distance of 100 cm away from the properly installed an-

tenna. This separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF ex-

posure requirements in the applicable RF exposure compliance standards. IC-F9521S/T:

Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recom-

mended minimum distance of 86.4 cm away from the properly installed an-

tenna. This separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF ex-

posure requirements in the applicable RF exposure compliance standards. To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupa-

tional use, always adhere to the following guide-

lines:

CAU TION DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF ex-

posure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manu-

facturer for use with this radio. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). 50% duty cycle is also applicable to PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) mode. Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the TX indicator lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT switch. Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can pos-

sibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such in-

terference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 18 A-6625H-1US-e Printed in Japan 20082009 Icom Inc.
