IMPORTANT

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to anAC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electricshock.

CAUTION! NEVER touch the transceiver (especiallythe heat sink) when transmitting continuously for long peri-ods. It will become hot.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of morethan 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection will ruinthe transceiver.

NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug andfuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting,the transceiver might be damaged.

NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation ofthe vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodilyinjury.

NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver.

NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.

PRECAUTION

WORD DEFINITION

RWARNINGPersonal injury, fire hazard or electric shockmay occur.

CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.

NOTEIf disregarded, inconvenience only. No riskof personal injury, fire or electric shock.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com-pletely before using the transceiver.

USE the supplied microphone only. Other microphoneshave different pin assignments and may damage the trans-ceiver.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-peratures below –22°F (–30°C) or above +140°F (+66°C), orin areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.

AVOID operating the transceiver without running the vehi-cle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if thetransceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine OFF.

AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-ronments.

AVOID placing the transceiver against walls. This willobstruct heat dissipation.

AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or alco-hol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces.

For U.S.A. only

CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not ex-pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operatethis transceiver under FCC regulations.

6 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

Your Icom radio generates RF electromag-netic energy during transmit mode. Thisradio is designed for and classified as“Occupational Use Only”, meaning it mustbe used only during the course of employ-ment by individuals aware of the hazards,

and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio isNOT intended for use by the “General Population” in anuncontrolled environment.

• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RFExposure Requirements, the transmitter antenna installationshall comply with the following two conditions:1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.2. IC-F121:

The transmitter antenna is required to be located outsideof a vehicle and kept at a separation distance of 65 cen-timeters or more between the transmitter antenna of thisdevice and persons during operation.

3. IC-F221:The transmitter antenna is required to be located outsideof a vehicle and kept at a separation distance of 52 cen-timeters or more between the transmitter antenna of thisdevice and persons during operation.

To ensure that your exposure to RF elec-tromagnetic energy is within the FCCallowable limits for occupational use,always adhere to the following guidelines:

•DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antennaattached, as this may damage the radio and may also causeyou to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna isthe antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer oran antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer foruse with this radio.

•DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time(“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the timecan cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements tobe exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indica-tor” lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by press-ing the “PTT” switch.

Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityDuring transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energythat can possibly cause interference with other devices orsystems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio inareas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate thetransmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radi-ation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
