IMPORTANT
CAUTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com-
pletely before using the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL—This in-
struction manual contains important operating instructions for
the IC-F1610 VHF TRANSCEIVER or IC-F2610 UHF
TRANSCEIVER.
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.
NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and

CAUTION
NOTE
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily
injury.
Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children.
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
USE supplied microphones only. Other microphones have
different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.
Versions of the transceiver which display the “CE” on the se-

SmarTrunk II™ is a trademark of SmarTrunk Systems, Inc.
DO NOT connect the transceiver to a power source using
reverse polarity. This connection will not only blow fuses but
also may damage the transceiver.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –20°C or above +55°C or, in 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 the
transceiver is in transmission while the vehicle’s engine is off.
AVOID placing the transceiver is excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
AVOID placing the transceiver against walls. This will ob-
struct heat dissipation.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s
surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.
