For the transceiver
WARNING! NEVER operate the
transceiver during a lightning storm. It may
damage the transceiver. Always disconnect
the power source and antenna before a
storm.
WARNING! NEVER place the
transceiver where normal operation of the
vehicle may be hindered or where it could
cause bodily injury.
WARNING! Immediately disconnect
the AC adapter if the transceiver emits an
abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact
your Icom dealer or distributor for advice.
CAUTION: NEVER connect the transceiver
to a power source of more than 33 V DC.
This could damage the transceiver.
CAUTION: NEVER cut the DC power cable
between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an
incorrect connection is made after cutting,
the transceiver might be damaged.
CAUTION:
jacks are dry and clean before attachment.
Exposing them to dust or water will result in
serious damage to the transceiver.
CAUTION: The Antenna unit will become
hot when operating continuously for long
periods.
DO NOT place or leave the transceiver
in areas with temperatures below –30°C
(–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or in
areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the
dashboard.
DO NOT operate the transceiver without
running the vehicle’s engine. The vehicle’s
battery will quickly run out when the
transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s
engine is OFF.
DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in
excessively dusty environments.
DO NOT
place the transceiver against walls.
Otherwise heat dissipation will be obstructed.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as
damage the transceiver’s surfaces.
Keep the transceiver away from the heavy
rain, and never immerse it in the water.
The transceiver meets IP54(main unit)* /
IP55 (microphone) / IP67 (antenna unit)
requirements for dust-protection and splash
resistance. However, once the transceiver
has been dropped, dust protection and
splash resistance cannot be guaranteed
due to the fact that the transceiver may be
cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged,
and so on.
*Only when the microphone is attached.
Other microphones have different pin
assignments and may damage the
transceiver.
Place the transceiver in a secure place
persons.
In some countries, using a satellite
communication device may be prohibited,
or a license is required. Make sure you
comply with all applicable laws and
regulations in your area.
Precautions
3
For the optional AC adapter
WARNING! NEVER use other than the
transceiver. This may result in an electrical
adapter.
WARNING! Connect the adapter into
an outlet between 100 V and 240 V AC.
Otherwise, this may result in an electrical
adapter.
WARNING! NEVER install the AC
adapter to wet place where is outside or
AC adapter.
WARNING! NEVER put something
heavy on the AC adapter cable. This may
damage the AC adapter.
WARNING! NEVER modify, bend by
force, twist, pull or heat the AC adapter’s
cable. This may result in an electrical shock,
WARNING! NEVER
touch the AC adapter
with wet hands. This may result in an
electrical shock or damage the AC adapter.
WARNING! NEVER
use the AC adapter
when it can not closely insert into the AC
outlet. This may result in an electrical shock,
WARNING! Use and place the AC
adapter and connection cable to avoid
inadvertent use by children. This may result
in an electrical shock or cause injury.
About the GPS receiver

will block the satellite signals.
• GPS signals cannot pass through metal
objects. When using the transceiver inside
a vehicle, you may not receive GPS signals.
We recommend you use it near a window.
• The GPS receiver may not work if used in
the following locations:
1. Tunnels or high-rise buildings
2. Underground parking lots
3. Under a bridge or viaduct
4. In remote forested areas
5. Under bad weather conditions
(rainy or cloudy day)

FCC information
This device complies with part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
condition that this device does not cause
harmful interference.
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
reasonable 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 accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee 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 correct the
interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.

Safety training information
Your Icom radio generates
RF electromagnetic energy
during transmit mode. This
radio is designed for and
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
environment.
• For compliance with FCC and IC RF
Exposure Requirements, the transmitter
antenna installation shall comply with the
following three conditions:
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not
exceed 3 dBi.
2. The antenna is required to be located
outside of a vehicle and kept at a
distance of 20 centimeters (7.9 inches)
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 center line along the vehicle in
order to achieve 20 centimeters (7.9
inches) separation distance. In order
to ensure this distance is met, the
installation of the antenna must be
mounted at least 20 centimeters (7.9
inches) away from the nearest edge of
the vehicle in order to protect against
exposure to bystanders.
3. Transmit only when people
outside the vehicle are at least the
recommended minimum distance
of 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) away
from the properly installed antenna.
This separation distance will ensure
that there is sufficient distance from a
properly installed externally-mounted
antenna to satisfy the RF exposure
requirements in the applicable RF
exposure compliance standards.
To ensure that your
exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy
is within the FCC and
IC allowable limits for
occupational use, always adhere to the
following guidelines:
•DO NOT operat e the radio without a proper
antenna attached, as this may damage the
radio and may also cause you to exceed
FCC and IC RF exposure limits. A proper
antenna is the antenna supplied with this
radio by the manufacturer or an antenna
for use with this radio.
•DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of
Transmitting more than 50% of the time can
cause FCC and IC RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded. The radio is
transmitting when the status indicator lights
red. You can cause the radio to transmit by
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.
