iiRWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Caution should be observed when operating this device. If you have any questions regard-ing RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65)RWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is verti-cal.RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with an earphone, headphones or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less may result in an accident.NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC. This will ruin the transceiver.NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using reverse polarity. This will ruin the transceiver.DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.DO NOT push the PTT unless you actually intend to trans-mit.BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when op-erating it continuously for long periods.DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4˚F) or above +60°C (+140˚F).Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children.DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzene or alcohol to clean the transceiver, because they can damage the trans-ceiver’s surfaces.PRECAUTIONS
iiiFCC INFORMATION• 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 instal-lation. 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 inter-ference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip-ment 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 inter-ference by one or more of the following measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the separation between the equipment and re-ceiver.• 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.For U.S.A. onlyCAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this device under FCC regulations.PRECAUTIONSKEEP away from heavy rain, and never immerse the IC-80AD in the water. The transceiver meets IPX4* require-ments for splash resistance. However, once the transceiver has been dropped, splash resistance cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceiver’s case or wa-terproof seal. *Only when the supplied battery pack (or optional battery case), antenna and jack cover are attached.NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or may damage the trans-ceiver.Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or batteries from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Other-wise, the installed battery pack or batteries will become ex-hausted, and will need to be recharged or replaced.•Important notes when using GPS receiverPlease do not use the HM-189GPS close to the transceiver’ s antenna. The transmit signal may cause GPS receiver mal-function.

34DV MODE PROGRAMMING6N About the D-STAR systemIn the D-STAR (Digital Smart Technologies for Amateur Radio) system, repeater linking via a 10 GHz backbone and/or internet gateway provides you with much wider coverage range during digital voice mode operation.• D-STAR system outlineStation AStation C Station DRepeater ARepeater D440 MHz440 MHzRepeater C10 GHzZoneZoneAreaStation BRepeater B10 GHz440 MHz440 MHzInternetIn traditional repeater operation, stations that are communi-cating must both be in the repeater's operating area. However, D-STAR repeaters can be linked via a 10 GHz backbone, as shown in the illustration at left. Using D-STAR, stations A and B can communicate even though they are in widely separated repeater operating areas.Furthermore, D-STAR repeaters can be linkled through an internet gateway, which can extend the communication range dramatically. For example, when station B uses the internet gateway connection, it can communicate with station C even though they are thousands of miles apart! By using the gate-way connection, long distance communication is possible using 144 or 440 MHz digital voice!In the D-STAR system, an independent repeater’s operating area is called an Area and a group that of linked repeaters via a 10 GHz backbone is called a Zone.About time-out timer functionThe IC-80AD has a time-out timer function for digital re-peater operation. The timer limits a continuous transmis-sion to approx. 10 min. Warning beeps will sound approx. 30 sec. before time-out and then again immediately before time-out.
