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. Icom, Icom Inc. and the Icom logo are registered trademarks of Icom Incor-

porated (Japan) in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Russia and/or other countries.

This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock. RWARNING! 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 trans-

ceiver. CAUTION! NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. 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 operate the transceiver without running the ve-

hicles engine. The vehicles battery will quickly run out when the transceiver transmits while the vehicles engine is OFF. 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 use chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces. BE CAREFUL!

ceiver power is turned ON. Off hook. The Priority A channel is selected when the microphone is took off from its hanger. BASIC OPERATION 2 MDC 1200 system operation The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your trans-

ceivers capabilities. It allows PTT ID*, Emergency signaling, and receiving Radio Check. Also, the dispatcher can stun and revive transceivers on the system. An additional feature of MDC 1200 system found in Icom transceivers is called aliasing. Each transceiver on the system has a unique ID number. Aliasing allows the substitution of an alphanumeric name for this ID number. For transmit, you can use this alias to select a transceiver to call. For receive, the alias of the calling station is displayed instead of the ID.

* When [PTT] is pushed and/or released, the transceiver transmits your own station ID. D Receiving an Emergency Call q When an emergency call is received;

Beeps sound. The calling station ID (or alias) and EMG EMG are displayed alternately. D Transmitting an Emergency Call The MDC 1200 system Emergency feature can be accessed using the [Emergency] key (p. 5). The transceiver will send an Emergency MDC 1200 system command once or repeat-

edly for a programmed number of times until it receives the acknowledgement signal. The emergency call can be transmitted without a beep emis-

sion, and the LCD indication change depends on how emer-

gency is programmed. Ask your dealer for details. D Receiving a Stun and Revive The dispatcher can send MDC 1200 system signals that will stun or revive your transceiver. If a Stun command is received that matches your station ID, the transceiver will display SORRY (default) and you can not receive or trans-

mit. When a Revive command is received that matches your station ID, normal operation is restored. w Turn power OFF, change the channel, push [PTT] for re-

plying the call, etc. to stop the beep and display indication. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 13 3 CONNECTION AND MAINTENANCE Rear panel connection Antenna q ANTENNA CONNECTOR Connects to an antenna. Contact your dealer about antenna selec-

The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at a distance of 38 centimeters or more between the trans-

mitting 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 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 38 centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 17 4 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION To ensure that your exposure to RF electromag-

netic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the fol-

lowing guidelines:

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 exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically au-

thorized 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 transmit indicator appears on the LCD. 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 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. 18 MEMO 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 A-6730D-1EX-q Printed in Japan 2009 Icom Inc.
