els. Continuous high volume operation may cause a ringing in your ears. If you experience ringing, reduce the volume level or discontinue use. 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. 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 operate the transceiver near unshielded electric 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 inadver-

tent use by children. DO NOT push the PTT when not actually intending to transmit. DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below 20C (4F) or above

+55C (+131F). DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-

ronments. DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol to clean the transceiver, as they will damage the transceivers surfaces. If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating continuously for long periods. 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 PRCAUTIONS R NE JAMAIS utiliser lmetteur-rcepteur avec un casque ou dautres accessoires audio ayant un volume trop lev.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION Your Icom radio generates RF electromag-

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 General Popu-

lation 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 ve-

hicle and kept at a distance of 40 centimeters or more between the transmitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For a small vehicle, the an-

tenna 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 40 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 40 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:

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 pressing 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 ar-

eas 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. iv INFORMATION EN MATIRE DE SCURIT AVERTISSEMENT Votre radio Icom produit une nergie lectro-

magntique de radiofrquences (RF), en mode de transmission. Cette radio est conue pour un usage professionnel seulement et classe comme tel, ce qui signifie qu'elle doit tre utili-

se uniquement dans le cadre d'un travail par des personnes conscientes des dangers et des mesures 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 confor-

mment aux deux conditions suivantes:

1. Le gain de l'antenne du radio metteur ne doit pas dpasser 0 dBi. 2. Il faut que l'antenne mettrice de cet appareil soit place l'extrieur d'un vhicule et tenue loigne d'au moins 40 cen-

timtres de toute personne pendant le fonctionnement. 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 40 cm du bord le plus rapproch du vhicule et ainsi viter que les personnes prsentes soient exposes. 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 approprie y soit fixe, car ceci risque d'endommager la radio et causer une exposition suprieure aux limites tablies par la FCC. L'antenne ap-

proprie 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'utilisation de l'appareil (50% du facteur d'utilisation). mettre pendant plus de 50% du temps total d'utilisation peut causer 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. Interfrence lectromagntique et compatibilit En mode de transmission, votre radio Icom produit de l'nergie 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 signalisation 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. v TABLE OF CONTENTS IMPORTANT .......................................................................... i EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS ....................................................... i FCC INFORMATION ............................................................. i PRECAUTIONS .................................................................... ii PRCAUTIONS ................................................................... iii SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION ................................... iv INFORMATION EN MATIRE DE SCURIT ..................... v TABLE OF CONTENTS ....................................................... vi 1 PANEL DESCRIPTION ................................................1 Front panel ...................................................................1 Rear panel ...................................................................2 Function display ...........................................................3 2 BASIC OPERATION ....................................................4 General description ......................................................4 Receiving and transmitting ...........................................5 Directly setting the frequency .......................................6 Squelch settings ...........................................................6 3 MEMORY OPERATION ...............................................7 General description ......................................................7 Basic operation ............................................................8 Editing Regular memory/Group memory channels ......8 Selecting a weather memory channel .........................12 History memory channel ............................................12 Selecting a GPS memory channel .............................13 Editing GPS memory .................................................13 Protecting memory .....................................................13 4 OTHER FUNCTIONS .................................................14 Dualwatch operation ..................................................14 Priority watch .............................................................14 Using the lock function ...............................................15 Accessing the 121.5 MHz emergency frequency .......15 Enabling the intercom ................................................16 Opening the squelch for test ......................................16 Setting the frequency step .........................................16 Using the remote control ............................................16 Scanning the weather memory channels ...................17 5 MENU MODE .............................................................18 Using the menu mode ................................................18 Settings menu items ..................................................20 Configuration menu items ..........................................22 6 OPTIONS ...................................................................26 7 SPECIFICATIONS .....................................................27 8 COUNTRY CODE LIST .............................................29 INDEX ............................................................................30 vi 1 PANEL DESCRIPTION Front panel q w e tr y u i DUAL EC VOL OFF PUSH TEST RX MEMORY 118.00 121.525 CH09 SAMPLE RCL MEM o COMM q DUAL SWITCH [DUAL]
