Microsoft and Windows are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the U.S.A. and other countries. i Large, bright OLED display A fixed mount VHF airband first! The IC-A210 has an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. All man-made lighting emits its own light and display offers many advantages in brightness, not bright-
ness, vividness, high contrast, wide viewing angle and response time compared to a conventional display. In addition, the auto dimmer function adjusts the display for optimum brightness at day or night. Easy channel selection Its fast and easy to select any of memory channels in the IC-A210. The flip-flop arrow button switches between active and standby channels. The dualwatch function allows you to monitor two channels simultaneously. In addition, the history memory channel stores the last 10 channels used and allows you to recall those channels easily. GPS memory function When connected to an external GPS receiver* equipped with an air-
port frequency database, the IC-A210 will instantly tune in the local airport frequency as you y into its airspace.
*Ask your dealer for available GPS receiver details. 13.8 V/27.5 V DC power source The built-in DC-DC converter accepts a 13.8/27.5 V DC power source. The IC-A210 is easily installed in most airplanes or vehicles. Intercom function The IC-A210 has a built-in voice activated intercom function allowing the pilot to talk with a co-pilot via headset. The IC-A210 has ad-
justable audio level and squelch control functions. IC-A210.qxd 2007.07.24 8:12 AM Page c PRECAUTIONS R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op-
eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use. NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a power source of more than 28 V DC. Such a connection will damage the transceiver. 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, higher fuse values will not give any 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. 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. DO NOT place unit in a non-secure place to avoid inad-
vertent use by children. DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-
mit. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below 20C (4F) or above
+55C (+131F). 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. FCC caution: Changes or modications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations. ii IC-A210.qxd 2007.07.24 8:12 AM Page d TABLE OF CONTENTS IMPORTANT .............................................................................................i EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS...........................................................................i FEATURES ...............................................................................................i PRECAUTIONS........................................................................................ii TABLE OF CONTENTS...........................................................................iii 1 PANEL DESCRIPTION.....................................................................14 I Front panel .....................................................................................1 I Rear panel ......................................................................................3 I Main unit .........................................................................................3 I Function display..............................................................................4 2 BASIC OPERATION.........................................................................58 I Frequency selection .......................................................................5 I Standby frequency selection (Step 1-2) .........................................5 I Frequency exchanging/not exchanging (Step 2-2).........................6 I Receiving........................................................................................6 I Transmitting....................................................................................6 I Frequency set example ..................................................................7 I Direct frequency setting mode operation........................................8 I Dualwatch operation.......................................................................8 3 MEMORY OPERATION ..................................................................918 I Programming notes ........................................................................9 I Entering memory mode ..................................................................9 I Memory channel type .....................................................................9 I Channel selection.........................................................................10 I Programming a memory channel .................................................10 I Programming example..................................................................11 I Transferring memory contents......................................................12 I Memory mode menu

Your Icom radio generates RF electromag-
netic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classied as Oc-
cupational Use Only, meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals 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. For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Expo-
sure Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with the following two conditions:
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi. 2. The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at a distance of 36 centimeters or more between the transmitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For a small vehicle, the antenna 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 36 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the an-
tenna must be mounted at least 36 centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders. To ensure that your exposure to RF elec-
tromagnetic energy is within the FCC al-
lowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
+ )7 6 1
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna at-
tached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time
(50% duty cycle). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the TX indica-
tor appears. You can cause the radio to transmit by press-
ing the PTT switch. Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, 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 ra-
diation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites. 10 35 IC-A210.qxd 2007.07.24 8:13 AM Page 36 A-6602H-1EX Printed in Japan 2007 Icom Inc. Printed on recycled paper with soy ink. 1-1-32 Kamiminami, Hirano-ku, Osaka 547-0003, Japan

ciable. FEATURES Large, bright OLED display A fixed mount VHF airband first, the IC-A210 has an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. The all man-made lighting emits its own light and the display offers many advantages in brightness, vividness, high contrast, wide viewing angle and response time compared to a conventional display. In addition, the auto dimmer function can adjust the display for optimum brightness, during day or night. Easy channel selection Its fast and easy to select any of the memory channels in the IC-A210. The flip-flop arrow button switches between active and standby channels. The DualWatch function allows you to monitor two channels simultaneously. In addition, the history memory chan-
nel stores the last 10 channels used and allows you to recall those channels easily. GPS memory function When connected to an external GPS receiver* equipped with an air-
port frequency database, the IC-A210 will instantly tune in the local airport frequency as you fly into its airspace.
*Ask your dealer for available GPS receiver details. 13.8 V/27.5 V DC power source The built-in DC-DC converter accepts a 13.8 or 27.5 V DC power source. The IC-A210 is easily installed in most airplanes or vehicles. Intercom function The IC-A210 has a built-in voice activated intercom function allowing the pilot to talk with a co-pilot, or other person, via headsets. The IC-
A210 has adjustable audio level and squelch control functions. i PRECAUTIONS R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op-
eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use. DO NOT place unit in a non-secure place to avoid inad-
vertent use by children. DO NOT push the PTT when not actually intending to transmit. R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a power source of more than 28 V DC. Such a connection will damage the transceiver. DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below 20C (4F) or above
+55C (+131F). CAUTION: NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is DC fused at more than 10 A. Accidental reverse connection will be protected by this fuse, higher fuse values will not give any protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be damaged. DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments. DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. This will ob-
struct heat dissipation. DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-
cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces. 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. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating continuously for long periods. FCC caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS IMPORTANT i EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS i FEATURES i PRECAUTIONS ii TABLE OF CONTENTS iii 1 PANEL DESCRIPTION 1 Front panel 1 Rear panel 3 Main unit 3 Function display 4 2 BASIC OPERATION 5 Frequency selection 5 Standby frequency selection (Step 1-2) 5 Frequency exchanging (Step 2-2) 6 Receiving6 Transmitting 6 Frequency setting example 7 Direct frequency setting mode operation 8 DualWatch operation 8 3 MEMORY OPERATION 9 Programming notes 9 Entering memory mode 9 Memory channel type 9 Channel selection 10 Programming a memory channel 10 Programming example 11 Transferring memory contents 12 Memory mode menu

ing frequency in the standby frequency indicator. Then ex-
change the active frequency for the standby frequency. NOTE: Operate from Standby frequency selection(Step 1-2) to Frequency exchanging (Step 2-2) as pages 5, 6. Direct frequency selection A desired frequency direct selection is available. Refer to Direct frequency selection mode operation. TIP: For quick frequency setting, often used frequen-
cies can be programmed into memory channels. Refer to MEMORY OPERATION (pages 918). When a memory channel is recalled, the previous standby frequency is erased. CAUTION: DO NOT turn the power ON until the air-
craft engines have been started. It is very important for protection of the power supply circuit. q Rotate [VOL] clockwise to turn power ON. Previously used frequencies appear in the active and standby frequency indicators. w Rotate [DIAL] and [O-DIAL] to select a desired frequency to the standby frequency.

netic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as Oc-
cupational Use Only, meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the Gen-
eral Population in an uncontrolled environ-
ment. For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Expo-
sure Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with the following two conditions:
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi. 2. The antenna is required to be located outside of a ve-
hicle and kept at a distance of 36 centimeters or more between the transmitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For a small vehicle, the antenna 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 36 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 36 centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders. To ensure that your exposure to RF elec-
tromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, al-
ways adhere to the following guidelines:
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna at-
tached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time
(50% duty cycle). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the TX indica-
tor appears. You can cause the radio to transmit by press-
ing the PTT switch. Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, 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 ra-
diation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites. 32 AVERTISSEMENT Votre radio Icom produit une nergie lec-
tromagntique de radiofrquences (RF), en mode de transmission. Cette radio est conue pour un usage professionnel seu-
lement et classe comme tel, ce qui si-
gnifie qu'elle doit tre utilise uniquement dans le cadre d'un travail par des person-
nes conscientes des dangers et des me-
sures visant minimiser ces dangers. Elle N'EST PAS conue pour une utilisation grand public, dans un environnement non contrl. Afin de satisfaire aux exigences de la FCC et d'Industrie Canada en matire d'exposition aux RF, il est ncessaire que l'antenne soit installe conformment aux deux condi-
tions suivantes:

passer 0 dBi. INFORMATION EN MATIRE DE SCURIT 9 Afin de vous assurer que votre exposition une nergie lectromagntique de RF se situe dans les limites permises par la FCC pour une utilisation grand public, veuillez en tout temps respecter les directives suivantes:
MISE EN GARDE NE PAS faire fonctionner la radio sans qu'une antenne ap-
proprie y soit fixe, car ceci risque d'endommager la radio et causer une exposition suprieure aux limites tablies par la FCC. L'antenne approprie est celle qui est fournie avec cette radio par le fabricant ou une antenne spcialement autorise par le fabricant pour tre utilise avec cette radio. NE PAS mettre pendant plus de 50 % du temps total d'utili-
sation de l'appareil (50% du facteur d'utilisation). mettre pendant plus de 50% du temps total d'utilisation peut cau-
ser une exposition aux RF suprieure aux limites tablies par la FCC. La radio est en train dmettre lorsque le tmoin du mode de transmission s'affiche sur l'cran ACL. La radio mettra si vous appuyez sur le bouton du microphone. 2. Il faut que l'antenne mettrice de cet appareil soit place l'extrieur d'un vhicule et tenue loigne d'au moins 36 centimtres de toute personne pendant le fonction-
nement. Dans le pire des cas, pour un petit vhicule, l'antenne doit tre place sur le toit, n'importe o dans l'axe central du vhicule, afin de respecter une distance de 36 cm du bord le plus rapproch du vhicule et ainsi viter que les personnes prsentes soient exposes. Interfrence lectromagntique et compatibilit En mode de transmission, votre radio Icom produit de l'ner-
gie de RF qui peut provoquer des interfrences avec d'autres appareils ou systmes. Pour viter de telles interfrences, mettez la radio hors tension dans les secteurs o une signa-
lisation lexige. NE PAS faire fonctionner l'metteur dans des secteurs sensibles au rayonnement lectromagntique tels que les hpitaux, les aronefs et les sites de dynamitage. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 33 10 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. 34 A Accessing 121.5 MHz emergency frequency 19 AM squelch level 23 Automatic noise limiter 24 B Basic operation 5 Beep tone level 27 Blank channel 9 C Channel selection 10 Channel tag list 16 Clearing the memory contents 14 Cloning 28 D Data cloning 28 Dimmer brightness (High)25 Dimmer brightness (Low) 25 Dimmer brightness (Manually) 26 Dimmer mode 25 Dimmer response 26 Direct frequency selection 5 Direct frequency setting mode operation 8 Displayed message 28 DualWatch interval 24 DualWatch operation 8 E Emergency frequency 19 Entering memory mode 9 External input 26 External input level 26 F FM squelch level 23 Frequency display 26 Frequency exchanging 6 Frequency selection5 Frequency setting example 7 Frequency step setting 20 Front panel1 Function display 4 G General frequency selection 5 GPS memory 17 GPS memory channel 9 GPS memory edit 18 Group memory channel 9, 13 Group memory channel display 24 H Headphone level 23 History memory channel 9, 14 I Intercom function 20 Intercom usable setting 27 Intercom1 Microphone audio input level 23 Intercom1 squelch level 23 Intercom2 Microphone audio input level 23 Intercom2 squelch level 23 Interlock 27 L Lock function 19 Lock mode 24 M Memory channel type 9 Memory clear 27 Memory mode menu 12 Memory operation 9 Memory protect function 9 Memory protection 18, 24 Menu mode items 23 Menu mode programming 22 Microphone1 gain 24 INDEX Microphone2 gain 25 O Operating menu mode 22 Other functions 19 P Panel descriptions 1 Priority watch interval 24 Programming channel names 15 Programming channel tag 16 Programming example 11 Programming group names 15 Programming notes 9 Programming a memory channel 10 Regular memory channel 9, 13 R S Safety training information 32 Sidetone level 25 Squelch test function 20 Standby frequency selection 5 T Time-Out-Timer 27 Transferring memory contents 12 Transmitting 6 Transmitting microphone selection 25 U USER-1 setting 26 USER-2 setting 26 W Weather memory channel 9, 17 Weather memory channel scan 21 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 35 A-6602H-1EX-y Printed in Japan 20072011 Icom Inc.
