TABLE OF CONTENTS
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –30°C or above +60°C or, in areas subject
to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
AVOID operate 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 OFF.
AVOID placing the transceiver in 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 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.

INSTALLATION NOTES
The installation of this equipment should be made in such a manner
as to respect the EC recommended electromagnetic field exposure
limits (1999/519/EC).
The maximum RF power available from this device is 25 watts. The
antenna should be installed as high as possible for maximum efficiency and that this installation height should be at least 5 meters
above ground (or accessible) level. In the case where an antenna
cannot be installed at a reasonable height, then the transmitter should
neither be continuously operated for long periods if any person is
within 5 meters of the antenna, nor operated at all if any person is
touching the antenna.
In all cases any possible risk depends on the transmitter being activated for long periods. (actual recommendation limits are specified
as an average of 6 minutes) Normally the transmitter is not active for
long periods of time. Some radio licenses will require that a timer circuit automatically cuts the transmitter after 1–2 minutes etc.
Similarly some types of transmitter, SSB, CW, AM, etc. have a lower
‘average’ output power and the perceived risk is even lower.

INSTALLATION NOTES
The installation of this equipment should be made in such a manner
as to respect the EC recommended electromagnetic field exposure
limits (1999/519/EC).
The maximum RF power available from this device is 25 watts. For
vehicle installations it is recommended that the antenna be positioned
on the roof, centrally if possible. The roof will permit the antenna to
operate more efficiently as well as screen the occupants from excessive electromagnetic fields. Boot mount or on-glass antenna are best
avoided. The transmitter should neither be continuously operated for
long periods if any person is within a distance of 2 metres of the antenna, nor operated at all if any person is touching the antenna.
In all cases any possible risk depends on the transmitter being activated for long periods. (actual recommendation limits are specified
as an average of 6 minutes) Normally the transmitter is not active for
long periods of time. Some radio licenses will require that a timer circuit automatically cuts the transmitter after 1–2 minutes etc.
