When your system employs tone signalling (excluding CTCSS and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary prior to voice transmission. The tone signalling employed may be a selective calling system which allows you to call specific station(s) only and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you. q Select the desired DTMF encode channel according to your System Operator’s instructions. • The keys in the table below can be used for password input: • The transceiver detects numbers in the same block as identical. Therefore “01234” and “56789” are the same. UP KEY NUMBER e When the “PASSWORD” indication does not clear after inputting 4 digits, the input code number may be incorrect. Turn the power off and start over in this case. • This may not be necessary depending on programming. • Refer to pgs. 11, 14, 16 for selection. w Push the [PTT]. e After transmitting a DTMF code, the remainder of your communication can be carried out in the normal fashion.

CAUTION! NEVER CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn the power OFF while charging. • Recommended temperature range for charging: +10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F) • Use the specified chargers (BC-119N and BC-121N). NEVER use another manufacture’s charger. • Use the specified AC adapter. NEVER use another manufacture’s adapter. insert battery pack/transceiver (with the battery pack attached) in a wet or soiled condition into the charger. This may result in corrosion of the charger terminals or damage to the charger. The charger is not waterproof and water can easily get into it. NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion. NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver. NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace, etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc. If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little), new battery pack must be purchased. 20 !IC-F43TR.qxd 04.1.14 7:03 PM Page 21 (1,1) BATTERY CHARGING ■ Optional battery chargers ï AD-106 installation ï Rapid charging with the BC-119N+AD-106 q Install the AD-106 desktop charger adapter into the holder space of the BC-119N/121N. w Connect the plugs of the BC-119N/121N to the AD-106 desktop charger adapter with the connector, then install the adapter into the charger with the supplied screws.

This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only”, meaning it must be used only during the W ARN ING 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. This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only”. In addition, your Icom radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans: • FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. • American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. • American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave. • The following accessories are authorized for use with this product. Use of accessories other than those specified may result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip (MB-94), Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack (BP-232) and Speakermicrophone (HM-131L). 26 To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines: C AU TIO N • DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or 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 RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “ ” (TX indicator) lights. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch. • ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting and only use the Icom beltclips listed on page 25 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side. The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. !IC-F43TR.qxd 04.1.14 7:03 PM Page 27 (1,1) SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION 11 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. Occupational/Controlled Use The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposed as consequence of their employment provided those persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. 27 !IC-F43TR.qxd 04.1.14 7:03 PM A-6344H-1EX Printed in Japan © 2004 Icom Inc.
