ABOUT APCO PROJECT 25FCC INFORMATION

•฀฀FOR฀CLASS฀B฀UNINTENTIONAL฀RADIATORS

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer- ence in a residential installation. This equipment gen- erates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

฀•฀Reorient฀or฀relocate฀the฀receiving฀antenna.

฀•฀฀Increase฀the฀separation฀between฀the฀equipment฀

and receiver.

฀•฀฀Connect฀the฀equipment฀into฀an฀outlet฀on฀a฀circuit฀

different from that to which the receiver is con- nected.

฀•฀฀Consult฀the฀dealer฀or฀an฀experienced฀radio/TV฀

technician for help.

An LCD filter has been added to European versions for Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency interference (RFI) compliance purpose. In some instances, the LCD may be a little difficult to see, but this is normal and does not indicate an LCD malfunction.

PRECAUTIONS

R WARNING! NEVER operate the receiver with

a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.

R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the re-

ceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage to the receiver.

R WARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other ob-

jects protrude into the receiver or into connectors on the rear panel. This may result in an electric shock.

R WARNING! Immediately turn the receiver power

OFF and remove the power cable if it emits an abnor- mal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor for advice.

CAUTION: NEVER put the transceiver in any un-

stable place (such as on a slanted surface or vibrated place). This may cause injury and/or damage to the transceiver.

CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings

of the receiver. This may reduce receiver performance and/or damage to the receiver.

The receiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized internal adjustment.

CAUTION: NEVER block any cooling vents on the

top, rear or bottom of the receiver.

CAUTION: NEVER expose the receiver to rain,

snow or any liquids.

DO NOT

hol when cleaning, as they can damage the receiver’s surfaces.

DO NOT

temperatures below 0°C (+32°F) or above +50°C (+122°F).

DO NOT

vironments or in direct sunlight.

DO NOT

anything on top of the receiver. This may overheat the receiver.

Always place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvert- ent use by children.

The LCD display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small dark or light spots. This is not a malfunction or defect, but a normal characteristic of LCD displays.

During maritime mobile operation, keep the receiver as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indications.

Turn [I/O] switch (on the rear panel) OFF and/or dis- connect the AC power cable from the AC outlet when you will not use the receiver for a long period of time.

For U.S.A. only

use harsh solvents such as benzine or alco-

use or place the receiver in areas with

place the receiver in excessively dusty en-

place the receiver against walls or putting

CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device,

not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this device under FCC regula- tions.

CAUTION: NEVER install the receiver in a place

without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be reduced, and the receiver may be damaged.

CAUTION: The line-voltage receptacle must be near

the receiver and must be easily accessible. Avoid ex- tension cords.

CAUTION: The receiver weighs approx. 20 kg

(44 lb). Always have two people available to carry, lift or turn over the receiver.

The preamp amplifies received signals in the front end circuit to improve S/N ratio and sensitivity. Select “P. AMP1” or “P. AMP2” when receiving weak signals.

AGC time constant can be set from 0.1 to 8.0 sec.

(depends on mode), or turned OFF. When AGC is

“OFF,” the S-meter does not function.

✔ What is the AGC?

The AGC controls receiver gain to produce a constant audio output level, even when the received signal strength varies dramatically. Select “FAST” for tuning and then select “MID” or “SLOW” depending on the receiving conditions.
