When the transceiver’s power is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s battery will soon become exhausted.Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before starting the vehicle engine. This will avoid possible damage to the transceiver by ignition voltage spikes.During maritime  mobile  operation, keep  the trans-ceiver and microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indi-cations.Turn OFF the transceiver’s power and/or disconnect the DC power  cable  when  you will not use the  transceiver for long period of time.KEEP the  transceiver  away from the heavy rain, and Never immerse  it  in  the water. The transceiver meets IP54* requirements for dust-protection and splash resis-tance.However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dust-protection and splash resistance cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, and so on.*  Only when the supplied microphone is attached.12345678
iii2001 NEW 2001 NEWSAFETY TRAINING INFORMATIONWARNINGYour Icom radio generates RF electromag-netic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “Oc-cupational 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 Population” in an uncontrolled en-vironment.•  For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure Requirements, the transmitter antenna in-stallation shall comply with the following two condi-tions:  1.  The  transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.  2.  The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at a distance of 80 centime-ters 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 80 cen-timeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 80 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 160 centimeters away from the properly installed antenna. This separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF expo-sure requirements in the applicable RF exposure compliance standards.CAUTIONTo  ensure  that your  exposure  to  RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use,  always  adhere to  the following 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 autho-rized 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 com-pliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the TX/RX indicator lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityDuring 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 hospi-tals, aircraft, and blasting sites.FCC INFORMATION• FOR CLASS A UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.CAUTION:  Changes  or  modifications  to  this  trans-ceiver,  not  expressly approved  by Icom  Inc.,  could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
2001 NEWivINFORMATION EN MATIÈRE DE SÉCURITÉAVERTISSEMENTVotre radio Icom produit une énergie électromagnétique de radiofréquen-ces (RF), en mode de transmission. Cette radio est conçue pour un «usage professionnel seulement» et classée comme tel, ce qui signifie qu’elle doit être utilisée uniquement dans le cadre d’un travail par des personnes conscientes des dangers et des mesures visant à minimiser ces dangers. Elle N’EST PAS conçue pour une «utilisation grand public», dans un environnement non contrôlé.•  Afin de satisfaire aux exigences de la FCC et d’In-dustrie Canada en matière d’exposition aux RF, il est nécessaire que l’antenne soit installée confor-mément aux trois conditions suivantes:  1.  Le gain de l’antenne du radio émetteur ne doit pas dépasser 0dBi.  2.  Il faut que l’antenne émettrice de cet appareil soit placée à l’extérieur d’un véhicule et tenue éloignée d’au moins 80 centimètres de toute per-sonne pendant le fonctionnement. Dans le pire des cas, pour un petit véhicule, l’antenne doit être placée sur le toit, n’importe où dans l’axe central du véhicule, afin de respecter une distance de 80 cm du bord le plus rapproché du véhicule et ainsi éviter que les personnes présentes soient expo-sées.  3.  Émettre uniquement lorsque les personnes à l’extérieur du véhicule se trouvent à au moins la distance minimale recommandée de 160 cm de l’antenne correctement installée. Cette distance de sécurité assurera que les personnes soient placées suffisamment loin d’une antenne correcte-ment fixée à l’extérieur pour satisfaire aux exigen-ces en matière d’exposition aux RF, en vertu des normes de conformité applicables.MISE EN GARDE Afin de vous assurer que votre expo-sition à une énergie électromagnéti-que de RF se situe dans les limites permises par la FCC pour une utili-sation grand public, veuillez en tout temps respecter les directives sui-vantes:  •  NE PAS faire fonctionner la radio sans qu’une antenne appropriée y soit fixée, car ceci risque d’endommager la radio et causer une exposition supérieure aux limites établies par la FCC. L’an-tenne appropriée est celle qui est fournie avec cette radio par le fabricant ou une antenne spécia-lement autorisée par le fabricant pour être utilisée avec cette radio.  •  NE PAS émettre pendant plus de 50 % du temps total d’utilisation de l’appareil («50 % du facteur d’utilisation»). Émettre pendant plus de 50 % du temps total d’utilisation peut causer une exposi-tion aux RF supérieure aux limites établies par la FCC. La radio est en train d’émettre lorsque le témoin du mode de transmission s’affiche sur l’écran ACL. La radio émettra si vous appuyez sur le bouton du microphone.Interférence électromagnétique et compatibilité En mode de transmission, votre radio Icom produit de l’énergie de RF qui peut provoquer des interférences avec d’autres appareils ou systèmes. Pour éviter de telles interférences, mettez la radio hors tension dans les secteurs où une signalisation l’exige. NE PAS faire fonctionner l’émetteur dans des secteurs sensibles au rayonnement électromagnétique tels que les hôpi-taux, les aéronefs et les sites de dynamitage.

516CONNECTION AND INSTALLATION2001 NEW 2001 NEW■ Ground connectionThe transceiver and antenna tuner MUST have an adequate RF ground connection. Otherwise, the overall efficiency of the transceiver and antenna tuner installation will be reduced. Electrolysis, electri-cal shocks and interference from other equipment could also occur.For best results, use a 50 or 75 mm (2 or 3 inches) wide copper strap and make the connection as short as possible. Ground the transceiver and antenna tuner to the same ground point, otherwise the volt-age difference (at the RF level) between 2 ground points may cause electrolysis. RWARNING! When grounding to a metal hull  Use Zinc anodes to protect the hull from electroly-sis.  Ask your dealer, technical installer or refer to a technical book, and so on, for RF grounding de-tails.Ground system exampleBest ground points• External ground plate• Copper screen• Copper foilUnusable ground points( These connections may cause an explosion or electrical shock)• Gas or electrical pipe• Fuel tank or oil-catch panCopper pipe Metal object Copper screen■ Power sourceThe transceiver requires regulated DC power of 13.8 V and at least 28 A.
