DO NOT use or place the receiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below â10°C (+14ËF) or above +60°C (+140ËF). DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol to clean the transceiver, because they can damage the transceiverâs surfaces. Even when the receiver power is OFF, a slight current still flows in the circuits. Remove batteries from the receiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed batteries will become exhausted, and will need to be recharged. than 6 V DC directly. This will damage the receiver. NEVER connect the receiver to a power source using reverse polarity. This will damage the receiver. ii 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 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. CAUTION: Changes or modiďŹcations to this device, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this device under FCC regulations. iii OPERATING THEORY Electromagnetic radiation, which has frequencies of 20,000 Hz (20 kHz*) and above, is called radio frequency (RF) energy because, it is useful in radio transmissions. The IC-R6 receives RF energy from 0.150 MHz* to 1309.995 MHz and converts it into audio frequency (AF) energy which in turn actuates a loudspeaker to create sound waves. AF energy is in the range of 20 to 20,000 Hz. *kHz is an abbreviation of kilohertz or 1000 hertz, MHz is abbreviation of megahertz or 1,000,000 hertz, where hertz is a unit of frequency. OPERATING NOTES The IC-R6 may receive its own oscillated frequency, resulting in no reception or only noise reception, on some frequencies. The IC-R6 may receive interference from extremely strong signals on different frequencies or when using an external high-gain antenna.

NEVER short the battery terminals (or charging terminals). Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful when placing batteries (or the receiver) in handbags, etc. Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a necklace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not only the batteries, but also the receiver. ⢠R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used batteries. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion. ⢠R DANGER! NEVER immerse the batteries in water. If the batteries become wet, be sure to wipe them dry BEFORE installing them to the receiver. ⢠When installing batteries, make sure they are all the same brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old batteries together. ⢠Never use batteries whose insulated covering is damaged. ⢠Keep battery terminals clean to avoid rust or misscontact. Itâs a good idea to clean battery terminals once a week. q Remove the battery cover from the receiver. Latch w Install 2 R6 (AA) size Ni-MH batteries. ⢠Be sure to observe the correct polarity. D Caution for the Ni-MH batteries ⢠CAUTION: Always use the batteries within the speciďŹed temperature range, â5ËC to +60ËC (+23ËF to +140ËF). Using the batteries out of their speciďŹed temperature range will reduce the batteryâs performance and battery life. BATTERY CHARGING ⢠CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the batteries are left completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above +55ËC; +131ËF) for an extended period of time. If the batteries must be left unused for a long time, they must be detached from the receiver after charging. Keep them safely in a cool dry place at the following temperature range: â20ËC to +45ËC (â4ËF to +113ËF) (up to a month) â20ËC to +35ËC (â4ËF to +95ËF) (up to six months) â20ËC to +25ËC (â4ËF to +77ËF) (up to a year*) * We recommend charging the batteries every 6 months. ⢠If your Ni-MH batteries seem to have no capacity, even after being charged, completely discharge them by leaving the power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the batteries again. If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or only very little charge), a new batteries must be purchased. Prior to using the receiver for the first time, the batteries must be fully charged for optimum life and operation. ⢠The supplied batteries are rechargeable batteries. Charge the batteries before ďŹrst operating the receiver, or when the batteries become exhausted. If you want to prolong the battery life, the following points should be observed: - Avoid over charging. - Use the batteries until it becomes almost completely exhausted, under normal conditions. D Charging caution ⢠R WARNING! NEVER charge alkaline batteries. The receiver can charge only the Ni-MH batteries (1.2 V, 1400 mAH typ.). Other types of rechargeable battery, such as Ni-Cd or Li-Ion cannot be charged. ⢠AVOID over chargingâ The installed rechargeable batteries can be charged during operation when the AC adapter or the cigarette lighter cable is connected. To prevent over charging, the IC-R6 has charging timer that automatically disconnecting* the charging line electronically after 15 hours from charging. However, the charging timer will reset and start charging again when disconnect then reconnecting the AC adapter or CP-18A/E more than 1 minute interval. * When the âCHARGEâ setting in the Set mode is set to âCHG2,â the receiver continues to trickle charge after 15 hours have past. ⢠Recommended temperature range for charging: between 0°C (+32ËF) and +40°C (+140ËF) by the receiver. ⢠Use the BC-196S/BC-153SC AC adapter or CP-18A/E cigarette liter cable only. NEVER use other manufacturersâ chargers. ⢠The external DC power supply voltage must be between 12â16 V to charge the batteries and for operation when using an optional CP-18A/E. ⢠If the battery icons (â â and â â) disappear only 1 minute after connecting to the DC power supply, the batteries may have problem. In this case, contact your Icom dealer/distributor, or purchase a new batteries. 2 BATTERY CHARGING N Battery charging D Charging description D Charging connections AC adapter to an AC outlet The shape may differ depending on the version. to the [DC4.5V] jack IC-R6 CP-18A/E Cigarette lighter cable with DC-DC converter to a cigarette lighter socket ⢠Charging periods: Approx. 15 hours RWARNING!: NEVER attempt to charge the alkaline batteries.
