RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits RadioFrequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be observed whenoperating this device. If you have any questions regarding RF expo-sure and safety standards please refer to the Federal Communica-tions Commission Office of Engineering and Technology’s report onEvaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio fre-quency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC out-let. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving avehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less mayresult in an accident.NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than16 V DC. This will damage the transceiver.NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using reversepolarity. This will damage the transceiver.NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuseholder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceivermay be damaged.NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. Thetransceiver may be damaged.NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This mayresult in an electric shock or damage the transceiver.NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehi-cle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.NEVER let objects impede the operation of the cooling fan on therear panel.DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment contain-ing a transmitter.During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver with-out running the vehicle’s engine. When the transceiver’s power is ONand your vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s battery will soon be-come exhausted.AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or inareas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C(+140°F).BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operat-ing it continuously for long periods.AVOID setting the transceiver in a place without adequate venti-lation. Heat dissipation may be affected, and the transceiver may bedamaged.AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or alcoholwhen cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s surfaces.USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other manu-facturer’s microphones have different pin assignments and may dam-age the transceiver if attached.For U.S.A. onlyCAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device, not ex-pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority tooperate this device under FCC regulations.iiPRECAUTION

VIIQUICK REFERENCE GUIDE■Your first contactNow that you have your ID-800H installed in your car orshack, you are probably excited to get on the air. We wouldlike to take you through a few basic operation steps to makeyour first “On The Air” an enjoyable experience. 1. Turning ON the transceiverBefore powering up your ID-800H, you may want to makesure the audio volume and squelch level controls are set in9–10 o’clock positions.Although you have purchased a brand new transceiver, somesettings may be changed from the factory defaults becauseof the QC process. Resetting the CPU is necessary to startfrom factory default.➥While pushing both [SET•LOCK] and [S.MW•MW], push[PWR] for 1 sec. to reset the CPU.2. Selecting the operating frequency bandThe ID-800H has 2 m and 70 cm transmittable bands. ➥Push [BAND] to select the desired frequency band.Using the HM-133You can select the desired frequency band from the HM-133.PushPushPush [BAND] to select the desired frequency band.[BAND][PWR]While pushing [SET•LOCK] and [S.MW•MW], turn power ON.[SET•LOCK][S.MW•MW][VOL]Set [VOL] and [SQL] controls to 9–10 o’clock positions.[SQL]
VIIIQUICK REFERENCE GUIDE3. Tune the frequencyThe tuning dial will allow you to dial in the frequency you wantto operate. Pages 12 and 13 will instruct you on how to setthe tuning speed.Using the HM-133You can directly enter the frequency with the HM-133 keypadfor the main band. [EXAMPLE]: Setting frequency to 145.3625 MHz.PushPushPushPushRotate [DIAL] to tune the frequency.[DIAL]Quick reference guide
