INSTRUCTION MANUAL VHF AIR BAND TRANSCEIVER iA14 iA14S This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful inter-
ference. YIC-A14 YIC-A14S SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classi ed as Occupational Use Only, meaning it must be used only dur-
ing 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 un-
controlled environment. W ARNING This radio has been evaluated for compliance at the distance of 2.5 cm with the FCC RF exposure limits for Occupational Use Only. In addition, your Icom radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for ex-
posure to humans:
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Com-
pliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recom-
mended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electro-
magnetic Fields RF and Microwave. The following accessories are authorized for use with this product. Use of accessories other than those speci ed may result in RF exposure lev-
els exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip
(MB-94/96F) and Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack (BP-230N/232N/BP-
232H). To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic en-
ergy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
CAU TION i 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 antenna speci cally 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 ex-
posure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmit-
ting when appears on the function display. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT switch. ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt-clips which are listed on page 38 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the re-
cipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side. The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. 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 radiation such as hospitals and blasting sites. Occupational/Controlled Use The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposed as consequence of their employment provided those persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.

The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm
(2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is ver-
tical. 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. CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol to clean the transceiver, because they can dam-
age the transceivers surfaces. DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment containing a transmitter. DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. DO NOT using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below 10C (+14F) or above
+60C (+140F). KEEP the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and NEVER immerse it in the water. The transceiver construc-
tion is water resistant, not waterproof. CLEAN and wipe dry the battery terminals after using the transceiver in wet conditions. The terminals may rust if not dried. FCC caution: Changes or modi cations to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to op-

Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery performance. RDANGER! Use and charge only speci ed Icom battery packs with Icom radios or Icom charger. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use and charge with Icom radios or Icom charger. Using third-party or counterfeit bat-
tery packs or charger may cause smoke, re, or cause the battery to burst. D Battery caution RDANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the bat-
tery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface of the battery does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may rupture or catch re. RDANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas with temperatures above +60C. High temperature buildup in the battery, such as could occur near res or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to rup-
ture or catch re. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery performance or shorten battery life. RDANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, sea-
water, or any other liquids. Never charge or use a wet bat-
tery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. The battery is not waterproof. RDANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since in-
ternal battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may cause an explosion. RDANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals or NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the battery may rupture, emit smoke or catch re. RDANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other equipment, or for any purpose that is not speci ed in this in-
struction manual. RDANGER! If uid from inside the battery gets in your eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, with-
out rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately. RWARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distributor. RWARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the body that comes into contact with uid from inside the battery. 27 RWARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause a re, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture. CAUTION: Always use the battery within the speci ed tem-
perature range for the transceiver (10C to +60C; +14F to +140F) and the battery itself (20C to +60C; 4F to
+140F). Using the battery out of its speci ed temperature range will reduce the batterys performance and battery life. Please note that the speci ed temperature range of the bat-
tery may exceed that of the transceiver. In such cases, the transceiver may not work properly because it is out of its op-
erating temperature range. CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive tem-
perature environment (above +50C) for an extended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharging. You may use the battery until the remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature range as below:
20C to +50C; 4F to +122F (up to a month) 20C to +35C; 4F to +95F (up to three months) 20C to +20C; 4F to +68F (up to a year) BATTERY PACKS AND CASE 7 D Charging caution RDANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with extremely high temperatures, such as near res or stoves, in-
side a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such environ-
ments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the battery to stop charging. RWARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery in the bat-
tery charger beyond the speci ed time for charging. If the battery is not completely charged by the speci ed time, stop charging and remove the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the battery beyond the speci ed time limit may cause a re, overheating, or the battery may rup-
ture. RWARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery attached to the transceiver) into the charger if it is wet or soiled. This could corrode the battery charger terminals or damage the charger. The charger is not waterproof. CAUTION: NEVER charge the battery outside of the spec-
i ed temperature range: BC-179 (0C to +40C; +32F to
+104F). Icom recommends charging the battery at +20C
(+68F). The battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the speci ed temperature range. Additionally, battery perfor-
mance or battery life may be reduced. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 28 7 BATTERY PACKS AND CASE Charging the battery D Regular charging with the BC-179+BC-174 The BC-179 provides regular charging of battery packs.

(optional for some versions) D Precaution NEVER incinerate used battery cells since internal battery gas may cause them to rupture. NEVER expose a detached battery case to water. If the bat-
tery case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using it. NEVER short the terminals of the battery case. Also, cur-
rent may ow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace, etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc. When installing battery cells, make sure they are all the same brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old bat-
tery cells together. Install conventional alkaline cells only. Other type of batter-
ies, such as Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Li-Ion, are cannot be used. Uninstall the alkaline cells when leaving the battery case un-
used for long time. Keep battery contacts clean. Its a good idea to clean battery terminals once a week. Alkaline cells have a shorter operating time in comparison with Li-Ion battery cells. Also, operating time differs by brand, as well as the model type of the alkaline cell being used. Therefore, it is recommended that you use the Li-Ion battery pack, or take spare alkaline cells with you when intending to use the transceiver frequently, or for long periods. BATTERY PACKS AND CASE 7 D Alkaline cells installation Install 6 AA (LR6) size alkaline cells as described below. q Release the latch, and open the cover. w Install 6 AA (LR6) size alkaline cells. Install the conventional alkaline cells only. Be sure to observe the correct polarity. Latch CAUTION:
NEVER use your nger nail when releasing the latch. Because the latch is tightly locked you may injure your-
self. Instead, use something relatively at, like the edge of a coin or the tip of a screwdriver, to carefully release the latch. e Attach the cover, then close. And lock the latch until it makes a click sound. CAUTION:
When installing batteries, make sure they are all the same brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old batteries together. Keep battery contacts clean.
