FCC INFORMATION
• FOR CLASS A UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference
in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
PRECAUTIONS
For radar unit:
R
WARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other
objects touch any internal part or terminals of the radar
unit. This may result in an electric shock.
R
WARNING! NEVER apply AC voltage to the
DC input terminals of the radar unit. This may pose a
fire hazard, result in an electric shock or damage the
radar unit.
R
WARNING! NEVER apply more than 32 V DC
to the DC input terminal of the radar unit. This may
pose a fire hazard or damage the radar unit.
R
WARNING! NEVER touch the radar unit with
wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage the radar unit.
R
WARNING! NEVER open the bottom cover of
the radar unit. There are no user adjustment points.
This may result in an electric shock and incorrect reassembly may cause a fire hazard.
CAUTION: NEVER connect the radar unit to a DC
power source using reverse polarity. This will damage
the radar unit.
CAUTION: NEVER remove the fuse holder from
the DC power cable. This will damage the radar unit.
DO NOT place the radar unit in excessively dusty
environments.
DO NOT place the radar unit near heating equip-
ment or in direct sunlight or where hot or cold air blows
directly onto it.
DO NOT use or place the radar unit in areas with tem-
perature below –20˚C (–4˚F) or above +60˚C (+140˚F).
DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine or
alcohol when cleaning the radar unit, as they can
damage the radar unit’s surfaces.
DO NOT place the radar unit in areas that will block
air passage or put anything around the radar unit. This
will obstruct heat dissipation.
KEEP the radar unit out of the reach of children.
KEEP the radar unit away from heavy rain, and never
immerse it in the water.
The radar unit meets IPX4 requirements for splash resistance when the supplied connection cable, scanner
unit are connected.
However, if it is dropped, splash resistance cannot be
guaranteed because of possible damage to the case
or the waterproof seals.
For Scanner unit:
R
DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER open
the scanner unit. The scanner unit contains high voltage that could be fatal. And there are no user adjustment points. All repairs and adjustments MUST be
made by a qualified electronics technician at your
Marine Navigation Dealer.
For qualified electronics technician only:
R
DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE! High volt-
ages of up to 3,500 volts are used in the scanner
unit. Although prudent measures for safety have
been adopted, sufficient care must be taken in
the operation, maintenance and adjustment of the
scanner unit.
Electric shock of 1,000 volts or more may cause
electrocution and death; even an electric shock of
only 100 volts may be fatal.
R DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE! To prevent an
electric shock, turn the radar’s power is OFF*1 and
do not reach inside the scanner unit until you have:
• discharged the capacitors by disconnecting the system
cable from the radar unit for 5 min.
• checked that no electric charges remain inside the device.
Also, it is safest to wear dry insulated rubber gloves.
NEVER use both hands simultaneously; keep one
hand in your pocket.
R
WARNING: RADIATION HAZARD!
Radiation emitted from the scanner unit can be
harmful, particularly to the eyes. To avoid harmful radiation, turn
beginning work on the scanner unit.
the radar’s power is OFF*1 before
DO NOT use or place the scanner unit in areas with
temperature below –25˚C (–13˚F) or above +70˚C
(+158˚F).
NEVER immerse the scanner unit in the water.
The scanner units meet IPX6
pressure water jet resistance.
However, if these items are dropped, high-pressure
water jet resistance cannot be guaranteed because
of possible damage to the cases or the waterproof
seals.

RADAR OPERATOR WARNING
WARNING
Icom requires the radar operator to meet
the F C C Requirements f o r R a d i o
Frequency Exposure. A slotted waveguide array antenna with gain not greater
than 27 dBi must be mounted a minimum
of 5.5 meters (measured from the lowest point of the
antenna) vertically above the main deck and all possible personnel. This is the minimum safe separation
distance estimated to meet all RF exposure compliance requirements. This 5.5 meter distance is based
on the FCC Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure
(MPE) distance of 3.5 meters added to the height of
an adult (2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels.
For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna
must be mounted so as to maintain a minimum of
1 meter vertically between the antenna, (measured
from the lowest point of the antenna), to the heads of
all persons AND all persons must stay outside of the
3.5 meter MPE radius.
Do not transmit with radar and antenna when persons
are within the MPE radius of the antenna, unless
such persons (such as driver or radar operator) are
shielded from antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance
from the antenna axis that person should maintain in
order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable
MPE level set by FCC.
