RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more
than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection will ruin

ABOUT APCO PROJECT 25
AVOID operating the transceiver without running the vehi-
cle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if the
transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine OFF.
AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
AVOID placing the transceiver against walls. This will
obstruct heat dissipation.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or
alcohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate
this transceiver under FCC regulations.

BASIC OPERATION
■ Turning power ON
q Push [ ] to turn the power ON.
w If the transceiver is programmed for a start up password,
input the digit codes as directed by your dealer.
• 10-keypad* can be used for password input.
*IC-F1821/D or IC-F2821/D only:
• The keys as below can be used for password input:
The transceiver detects numbers in the same block as identical.
Therefore “01234” and “56789” are the same.
e When the “PASSWORD” indication does not clear after
inputting 6 digits, the input code number may be incorrect.
Turn the power off and start over in this case.
■ Channel selection
Several types of channel selections are available. Methods
may differ according to your system set up.
NON-ZONE TYPE:
Push [CH Up] or [CH Down], or rotate [CH Up/Down] to select
the desired operating channel, in sequence; or, push one of
[MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4] keys to select a channel directly.
ZONE TYPE:
Push [Zone] then push [CH Up] or [CH Down], or rotate [Zone
Up/Down] to select the desired zone.

■ Call procedure
When your system employs tone signaling (excluding CTCSS
and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary prior to voice
transmission. The tone signalling employed may be a selective calling system which allows you to call specific station(s)
only and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you.
q Select the desired TX code channel, 2/5-tone code,
Individual ID code* or Talkgroup ID code* according to
your System Operator’s instructions.
• This may not be necessary depending on programming.
• Refer to pgs. 10–12 for selection.
*Digital mode operation only.
w Push the call key (assigned to one of the dealer program-
mable keys; except for the Digital mode operation) or [PTT].

D Transmitting notes
• Transmit inhibit function
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:
- The channel is in mute condition (‘Inaudible’ condition;
“”does not appear.)
- The channel is busy.
- Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received.
- Un-matched (or matched) NAC is received.*
- Un-matched (or matched) Individual ID or Talkgroup ID is
received.*
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.
*Digital mode operation only.
• Time-out timer
After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time
period, the time-out timer is activated, causing the transceiver to stop transmitting.
• Penalty timer
Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further
inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer.
D TX code channel selection

■ Position data transmission
When the optional cable and a GPS receiver is connected to
the transceiver, the position (longitude and latitude) data can
be transmitted automatically.
Ask your dealer or system operator for connection details.
The position data is transmitted when;
• Status 24 message is received
*When the status 24 message, GPS request, is received.
• Fully automatic
When automatic position transmission is enabled, send
the position data according to ‘Time Marker’ and ‘Interval
Timer’ settings.
• PTT is released
When ‘Send with Logoff’ is enabled.
-Set the ‘Log-In/Off’ item as ‘L-OFF.’
• After sending a status message
When ‘Send with Status’ is enabled.
• After sending an SDM
When ‘Send with SDM’ is enabled.
• After sending status 22 (Emergency)
When ‘Send with Emergency’ is enabled.
■ Printer connection
When the optional cable is connected to the transceiver, a
printer can be connected to print out the received SDM content and the ID of the station who sent the message.
Ask your dealer or system operator for connection details.
■ Digital ANI
The own ID can be transmitted each time the PTT is pushed
(log-in) or released (log-off) during individual or group call
communications.
By receiving the ANI, the communication log can be recorded
when using a PC dispatch application.
In addition, when using the ANI with log-in, the PTT side tone
function can be used to inform you that the ID is sent and
voice communication can be performed.
■ Auto emergency transmission
When [Emergency Single (Silent)] or [Emergency Repeat
(Silent)] is pushed, an emergency signal is automatically
transmitted for the specified time period.
The status 22 (Emergency) is sent to the selected ID station,
and the position data is transmitted after the emergency signal when a GPS receiver is connected to the transceiver.
The emergency transmission is performed on the emergency
channel, however, when no emergency channel is specified,
the signal is transmitted on the previously selected channel.
There is no change in the function display or beep emission
during automatic emergency transmission.

WARNING
CAUTION
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
30
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic
energy during transmit mode. This radio is
designed for and classified as “Occupational 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
Population” in an uncontrolled environment.
• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure
Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with
the following two conditions:
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.
2. IC-F1721/IC-F1721D/IC-F1821/IC-F1821D:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and
kept at a distance of 1 meter 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 centre line along the vehicle in order
to achieve 1 meter separation distance. In order to ensure this
distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted
at least 1 meter away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in
order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
3. IC-F2721/IC-F2721D/IC-F2821/IC-F2821D:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and
kept at a distance of 79 centimeters 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 centre line along the vehicle in
order to achieve 79 centimeters separation distance. In order to
ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must
be mounted at least 79 centimeters away from the nearest edge
of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits
for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
•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 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 indicator” lights red. 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.
