SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
WARNING
CAUTION
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 IC RF Exposure Re-
quirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall
comply with the following two conditions:
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed
0 dBi.
2. The antenna is required to be located outside of
a vehicle and kept at a distance of 80 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 80 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure
this distance is met, the installation of the antenna
must be mounted at least 80 centimeters 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
160 centimeters 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 operate 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 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 and IC RF exposure
compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio
is transmitting when the “TX” icon is displayed. 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.

INFORMATION EN MATIÈRE DE SÉCURITÉ
AVERTISSEMENT
MISE EN GARDE
Votre radio Icom produit une énergie
électromagnétique de radiofréquences (RF), en mode de transmission.
Cet t e r a dio es t c onçu e p our un
«usage professionnel seulement» et
classée comme tel, ce qui signifie qu’elle doit être
utilisée uniquement dans le cadre d’un travail par
des personnes conscientes des dangers et des
mesures visant à minimiser ces dangers. Elle
N’EST PAS conçue pour une «utilisation grand
public», dans un environnement non contrôlé.
• Afin de satisfaire aux exigences de la FCC et d’IC
en matière d’exposition aux RF, il est nécessaire
que l’antenne soit installée conformément aux trois
conditions suivantes:
1. Le gain de l’antenne du radio émetteur ne doit
pas dépasser 0 dBi.
2. Il faut que l’antenne émettrice de cet appareil
soit placée à l’extérieur d’un véhicule et tenue
éloignée d’au moins 80 centimètres de toute personne pendant le fonctionnement. Dans le pire
des cas, pour un petit véhicule, l’antenne doit être
placée sur le toit, n’importe où dans l’axe central
du véhicule, afin de respecter une distance de 80
cm du bord le plus rapproché du véhicule et ainsi
éviter que les personnes présentes soient exposées.
3. Émettre uniquement lorsque les personnes à
l’extérieur du véhicule se trouvent à au moins la
distance minimale recommandée de 160 cm de
l’antenne correctement installée. Cette distance
de sécurité assurera que les personnes soient
placées suffisamment loin d’une antenne correctement fixée à l’extérieur pour satisfaire aux exigences en matière d’exposition aux RF, en vertu des
normes de conformité applicables.
Afin de vous assurer que votre exposition à une énergie électromagnétique de RF se situe dans les limites
permises par la FCC et d’IC pour une
utilisation grand public, veuillez en
tout temps respecter les directives
suivantes:
• NE PAS faire fonctionner la radio sans qu’une
antenne appropriée y soit fixée, car ceci risque
d’endommager la radio et causer une exposition
supérieure aux limites établies par la FCC
L’antenne appropriée est celle qui est fournie avec
cette radio par le fabricant ou une antenne spécialement autorisée par le fabricant pour être utilisée
avec cette radio.
• NE PAS émettre pendant plus de 50 % du temps
total d’utilisation de l’appareil («50 % du facteur
d’utilisation»). Émettre pendant plus de 50 % du
temps total d’utilisation peut causer une exposition aux RF supérieure aux limites établies par la
FCC et d’IC. La radio est en train d’émettre lorsque le témoin du mode de transmission s’affiche
sur l’écran ACL. La radio émettra si vous appuyez
sur le bouton du microphone.
Interférence électromagnétique et compatibilité
En mode de transmission, votre radio Icom produit de
l’énergie de RF qui peut provoquer des interférences
avec d’autres appareils ou systèmes. Pour éviter de
telles interférences, mettez la radio hors tension dans
les secteurs où une signalisation l’exige. NE PAS faire
fonctionner l’émetteur dans des secteurs sensibles
au rayonnement électromagnétique tels que les hôpitaux, les aéronefs et les sites de dynamitage.

CONNECTION AND INSTALLATION
■ Ground connection
The transceiver and antenna tuner MUST have an
adequate RF ground connection. Otherwise, the
overall efficiency of the transceiver and antenna
tuner installation will be reduced. Electrolysis, electrical shocks and interference from other equipment
could also occur.
For best results, use a 50 or 75 mm (2 or 3 inches)
wide copper strap, and make the connection as short
as possible. Ground the transceiver and antenna
tuner to the same ground point, otherwise the voltage difference (at the RF level) between two ground
points may cause electrolysis.
RWARNING! When grounding to a metal hull
Use Zinc anodes to protect the hull from electroly-
sis.
Ask your dealer, technical installer or refer to a
technical book, and so on, for RF grounding details.

CONNECTION AND INSTALLATION
6
The transceiver requires regulated DC power of 13.8
V and at least 28 A. There are two ways to supply
power:
• Direct connection to a 12 V battery in your vehicle
through the supplied DC power cable.
• Use a DC power supply connected to an AC outlet.
■ Antenna
Most stations operate with a whip or long wire (insulated back stay) antenna. However, these antennas
cannot be connected directly to the transceiver since
their impedance may not match with the transceiver
antenna connector.
