1312345678910111213141516■ MDC 1200 system operationThe MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your trans-ceiv-er’s capabilities. It allows PTT ID*, Emergency signaling, and receiving Radio Check. Also, the dispatcher can stun and re-vive transceivers on the system.An additional feature  of MDC  1200 system  found in  Icom transceivers is called aliasing. Each transceiver on the system has a unique ID number. Aliasing allows the substitution of an alphanumeric name for this ID number. For transmit, you can use this alias to select a transceiver to call. For receive, the alias of the calling station is displayed instead of the ID.* When [PTT] is pushed and/or released, the transceiver transmits your own station ID.D Receiving an Emergency Callq When an emergency call is received;  • Beeps sound.  •  The calling station ID (or alias) and “EMG EMG” are displayed alternately.w  Turn power OFF, change the channel, push [PTT] for reply-ing the call, etc. to stop the beep and display indication.D Transmitting an Emergency Call The MDC 1200 system Emergency feature can be accessed using the [Emergency] key (p. 5). The transceiver will send an Emergency MDC 1200 system command once or repeat-edly for a programmed number of times until it receives the acknowledgement signal.The emergency call can be transmitted without a beep emis-sion, and the LCD indication change depends on how emer-gency is programmed. Ask your dealer for details.D Receiving a Stun and ReviveThe dispatcher can send MDC 1200 system signals that will stun or revive your transceiver. If a Stun command is re-ceived that matches your station ID, the transceiver will dis-play “SORRY” (default) and you can not receive or transmit. When a Revive command is received that matches your sta-tion ID, normal operation is restored.2BASIC 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 37 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 37 centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.  3. IC-F5121D:   Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum distance of 100 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.  3. IC-F6121D:   Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum distance of 82 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.1256789101112131415161734
184SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATIONC AU TIO NTo ensure that your exposure to RF electromag-netic 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 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 “transmit indicator” appears on the LCD. 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 hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
