FCC 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
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.

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 connection
is made after cutting, the transceiver may 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 trans-
ceiver.
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.
KEEP the transceiver away from heavy rain, and never im-
merse it in the water.
When the supplied/optional microphone*, the front/rear
plate(s) and the speaker jack cover of the controller are at-
tached, the main unit and the controller meet IP54 require-
ments for dust-protection and splash resistance.
However, once these items have been dropped, dust-protec-
tion and splash resistance cannot be guaranteed because of
possible damage to these cases or the waterproof seal.
* 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 authority to
operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

your mouth, then speak into the microphone at a normal
voice level.
D Transmitting notes
• Transmit inhibit function
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:
- The channel is in mute condition (‘Inaudible’ condition;
“ ” does not appear.)
- The channel is busy.
- Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received.
(Depending on the pre-setting)
- Un-matched (or matched) NAC is received.*
(Depending on the pre-setting)
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.
*Digital mode operation only.
• Time-out timer
After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time
period, the time-out timer is activated, causing the transceiver
to stop transmitting.
• Penalty timer
Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further
inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer.

n Antenna
A key element in the performance of any communication sys-
tem is an antenna. Contact your dealer about antennas and
the best places to mount them.
n Fuse installation
Fuses should be installed in the fuse holder of the black and
red cables, respectively.
If a fuse blows or the transceiver stops functioning, track
down the source of the problem if possible, and replace the
damaged fuse with a new rated one.
❑ Fuse rating: 30 A
USE the 30 A fuse only.
30 A fuse
n Cleaning
If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a
soft, dry cloth.
AVOID the use of solvents such as benzene or al-
cohol, as they may damage the transceiver sur-
faces.

5SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
W AR N IN G
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic en-
ergy 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 Popula-
tion” in an uncontrolled environment.
• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure Re-
quirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with
the following two conditions:
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.
2. IC-F9511HT:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept
at a distance of 66.2 centimeters 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
66.2 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this dis-
tance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at
least 66.2 centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in
order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
3. Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the
recommended minimum distance of 148 centimeters away from
the properly installed antenna. This separation distance will en-
sure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed
externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure require-
ments in the applicable RF exposure compliance standards.
C AU TIO N
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromag-
netic energy is within the FCC allowable limits
for occupational use, always adhere to the fol-
lowing 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” 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
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.
