RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC
outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a
power source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery.
This connection will ruin the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable be-
tween the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connec-
tion is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.
RWARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where
normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it
could cause bodily injury.
CAUTION! NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver.
CAUTION! NEVER expose the transceiver to rain,
snow or any liquids. The transceiver may be damaged.
USE the specified microphone only. Other microphones have
different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or
in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the ve-
hicle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if the
transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine OFF.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. This will ob-
struct heat dissipation.
DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.
When the optional RMK-2 and the supplied/optional micro-
phone* are attached, the transceiver’s front panel meets
IP54 requirements for dust-protection and splash resistance.
However, once the front panel with the RMK-2 have been
dropped, dust-protection and splash resistance cannot be
guaranteed because of possible damage to these cases or
the waterproof seal.
* The main body of the microphone is not dust-protection and splash
resistance.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver,
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your author-
ity to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

W AR N IN G
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic 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 indi-
viduals 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. IC-F9511S/T:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at
a distance of 48 cm or more between the transmitting antenna of this
device and any persons during operation. For small vehicle 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 48 cm separation
distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the
antenna must be mounted at least 48 cm away from the nearest edge
of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
IC-F9521S/T:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept
at a distance of 38.6 cm or more between the transmitting antenna
of this device and any persons during operation. For small vehicle 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 38.6 cm separa-
tion distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of
the antenna must be mounted at least 38.6 cm away from the nearest
edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
3. IC-F9511S/T:
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recom-
mended minimum distance of 100 cm away from the properly installed an-
tenna. This separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance
from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF ex-
posure requirements in the applicable RF exposure compliance standards.
IC-F9521S/T:
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recom-
mended minimum distance of 86.4 cm away from the properly installed an-
tenna. This separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance
from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF ex-
posure requirements in the applicable RF exposure compliance standards.
C AU T IO N
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic
energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupa-
tional use, always adhere to the following guide-
lines:
• 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 ex-
posure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio
by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manu-
facturer for use with this radio.
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty
cycle”). “50% duty cycle” is also applicable to PSTN (Public Switched
Telephone Network) mode. 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 red. 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 pos-
sibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such in-
terference, 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.
