iEXPLICIT DEFINITIONSRWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to anAC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electricshock.NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of morethan 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection will ruinthe transceiver.NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug andfuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting,the transceiver might be damaged.NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation ofthe vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodilyinjury.NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver.NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.USE the specified microphone only. Other microphoneshave different pin assignments and may damage the trans-ceiver.DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-peratures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), orin areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.PRECAUTIONSWORD DEFINITIONRWARNING Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shockmay occur.CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No riskof personal injury, fire or electric shock.READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com-pletely before using the transceiver.SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL— Thisinstruction manual contains important operating instructionsfor the IC-F5061, IC-F5063, IC-F6061 and IC-F6063VHF/UHF MOBILE TRANSCEIVERS.IMPORTANTIcom, Icom Inc. and the logo are registered trademarks of IcomIncorporated (Japan) in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany,France, Spain, Russia and/or other countries.LTR is a registered trademark of the E.F.Johnson Company.All other products or brands are registered trademarks or trademarks of theirrespective holders.See the operating guide for details of BIIS, MDC and LTR®system operations.

iiAVOID operating the transceiver without running the vehi-cle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if thetransceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine OFF.AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-ronments.AVOID placing the transceiver against walls. Otherwiseheat dissipation will be obstructed.AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine oralcohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver sur-faces.BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot whenoperating continuously for long periods.For U.S.A. onlyCAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not ex-pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operatethis transceiver under FCC regulations.TABLE OF CONTENTSIMPORTANT .................................................................................... iEXPLICIT DEFINITIONS ................................................................. iPRECAUTIONS ............................................................................... iTABLE OF CONTENTS .................................................................. ii1 PANEL DESCRIPTION ........................................................... 1–7■Front panel ............................................................................... 1■Function display ....................................................................... 2■Programmable function keys ................................................... 32 BASIC OPERATION ............................................................. 8–14■Turning power ON .................................................................... 8■Channel selection .................................................................... 8■Call procedure .......................................................................... 9■Receiving and transmitting ....................................................... 9DTransmitting notes ............................................................... 10DTX code channel selection .................................................. 10DTX code number edit............................................................ 11DTalkgroup ID code selection ................................................ 12DTX Status message selection .............................................. 12DDTMF transmission ............................................................. 13■Scrambler function ................................................................. 13■User set mode ........................................................................ 143 CONNECTION AND MAINTENANCE ................................ 15–17■Rear panel connection ........................................................... 15■Supplied Accessories ............................................................. 16■Mounting the transceiver......................................................... 16■Antenna................................................................................... 17■Fuse replacement .................................................................. 17■Cleaning ................................................................................. 17■Options ................................................................................... 174 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION ........................................ 18

184SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION12345678910111213141516Your Icom radio generates RF electromagneticenergy during transmit mode. This radio isdesigned for and classified as “Occupational UseOnly”, meaning it must be used only during thecourse of employment by individuals aware of thehazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards.This radio is NOT intended for use by the “GeneralPopulation” in an uncontrolled environment.• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF ExposureRequirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply withthe following two conditions:1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.2. IC-F5061:The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle andkept at a distance of 48 centimeters or more between the trans-mitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation.For small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located onthe roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle inorder to achieve 48 centimeters separation distance. In order toensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna mustbe mounted at least 48 centimeters away from the nearest edgeof the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.2. IC-F6061:The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle andkept at a distance of 38 centimeters or more between the trans-mitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation.For small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be located onthe roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle inorder to achieve 38 centimeters separation distance. In order toensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna mustbe mounted at least 38 centimeters away from the nearest edgeof the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.To ensure that your exposure to RF electromag-netic energy is within the FCC allowable limitsfor occupational use, always adhere to the fol-lowing guidelines:•DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, asthis may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCCRF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied withthis radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorizedby 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 FCCRF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radiois transmitting when the “TX indicator” lights red. You can cause theradio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityDuring transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that canpossibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoidsuch interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are postedto do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitiveto electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blastingsites.WARNINGCAUTION
