A fixed mount VHF airband first, the IC-A210 has an organic light
emitting diode (OLED) display. The all man-made lighting emits its
own light and the display offers many advantages in brightness,
vividness, high contrast, wide viewing angle and response time
compared to a conventional display. In addition, the auto dimmer
function can adjust the display for optimum brightness, during day or
night.
❍ Easy channel selection
It’s fast and easy to select any of the memory channels in the
IC-A210. The “flip-flop” arrow button switches between active and
standby channels. The DualWatch function allows you to monitor
two channels simultaneously. In addition, the history memory channel stores the last 10 channels used and allows you to recall those
channels easily.
❍ GPS memory function
When connected to an external GPS receiver* equipped with an airport frequency database, the IC-A210 will instantly tune in the local
airport frequency as you fly into its airspace.
*Ask your dealer for available GPS receiver details.
❍ 13.8 V/27.5 V DC power source
The built-in DC-DC converter accepts a 13.8 or 27.5 V DC power
source. The IC-A210 is easily installed in most airplanes or vehicles.
❍ Intercom function
The IC-A210 has a built-in voice activated intercom function allowing
the pilot to talk with a co-pilot, or other person, via headsets. The ICA210 has adjustable audio level and squelch control functions.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
our Icom radio generates RF electromagY
netic 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 Industry Canada RF Exposure Requirements, 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 36 centimeters or more
between the transmitting antenna of this device and
any persons during operation. For a small vehicle, the
antenna 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 36 centimeters separation
distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the
installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 36
centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle
in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
32
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC
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 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 RF exposure compliance requirements to
be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator” appears. 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
otre radio Icom produit une énergie élecV
tromagnétique de radiofréquences (RF),
en mode de transmission. Cette radio est
conçue pour un «usage professionnel seuAVERTISSEMENT lement» 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 vous assurer que votre exposition à
une énergie électromagnétique de RF se situe
dans les limites permises par la FCC pour
une utilisation grand public, veuillez en tout
MISE EN GARDE
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.
04
• Afin de satisfaire aux exigences de la FCC et d'Industrie
Canada en matière d'exposition aux RF, il est nécessaire
que l'antenne soit installée conformément aux deux conditions suivantes:
08
1. Le gain de l'antenne du radio émetteur ne doit pas dépasser 0 dBi.
• 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. 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.
2. Il faut que l'antenne émettrice de cet appareil soit placée
à l'extérieur d'un véhicule et tenue éloignée d'au moins
36 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 36 cm du bord le plus rapproché du véhicule et ainsi
éviter que les personnes présentes soient exposées.
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.

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 interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, 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 connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
