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 instruc-
tion manual, may cause harmful interference to radio commu-
nications. 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 transceiver,
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your au-
thority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
ii
PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a
power source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity.
This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable be-
tween the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection
is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.
R WARNING! 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.
USE the specified microphone only. Other microphones
have different pin assignments and may damage the trans-
ceiver.
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 operate the transceiver without running the ve-
hicle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out when
the transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine is OFF.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. This will ob-
struct heat dissipation.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver sur-
faces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods of time.

WARNING
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-F5121D:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and
kept at a distance of 57 centimeters or more between the trans-
mitting 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 57 centimeters separation distance. In order to
ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must
be mounted at least 57 centimeters away from the nearest edge
of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
2. IC-F6121D:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and
kept at a distance of 41 centimeters or more between the trans-
mitting 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 41 centimeters separation distance. In order to
ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must
be mounted at least 41 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 136 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 117 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.

CAUTION
To 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/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.

AVERTISSEMENT
Votre radio Icom produit une énergie électro-
magnétique de radiofréquences (RF), en mode
de transmission. Cette radio est conçue pour
un «usage professionnel seulement» et clas-
sée 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’Industrie Canada
en matière d’exposition aux RF, il est nécessaire que l’antenne soit

MISE EN GARDE
Afin de vous assurer que votre exposition à
une énergie électromagnétique de RF se situe
dans les limites permises par la FCC pour une
utilisation grand public, veuillez en tout temps
respecter les directives suivantes:
• NE PAS faire fonctionner la radio sans qu’une antenne appro-
priée y soit fixée, car ceci risque d’endommager la radio et cau-
ser une exposition supérieure aux limites établies par la FCC.
L’antenne appropriée est celle qui est fournie avec cette radio
par le fabricant ou une antenne spécialement autorisée par le
fabricant pour être utilisée avec cette radio.
• NE PAS émettre pendant plus de 50 % du temps total d’utilisa-
tion de l’appareil («50 % du facteur d’utilisation»). Émettre pen-
dant plus de 50 % du temps total d’utilisation peut causer une
exposition 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 hôpitaux, les aéronefs et les sites de
dynamitage.
