SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

WARNING

Your 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 IC 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. 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 ex-

posure requirements in the applicable RF exposure

compliance standards.

CAUTION

To 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 and IC RF exposure

limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with

this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna speciﬁ-

cally 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 and IC RF exposure

compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio

is transmitting when the “TX” icon is displayed. 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 hospi-

tals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

INFORMATION EN MATIÈRE DE SÉCURITÉ

AVERTISSEMENT

Votre 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’IC

en matière d’exposition aux RF, il est nécessaire

que l’antenne soit installée conformément 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

et d’IC

L’antenne 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 et d’IC. La radio est en train d’émettre lors-

que 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.

2001 NEW 2001 NEW

PRECAUTIONS

R DANGER HIGH RF VOLTAGE! NEVER attach

an antenna or internal antenna connector during trans-

mission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn.

R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a

headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.

Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume

operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce

the volume or discontinue use.

R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the trans-

ceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric

shock or damage to the transceiver.

R WARNING! NEVER apply AC power to the

[DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver rear panel. This

could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.

WARNING! NEVER apply more than 16 V DC to the

[DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver rear panel, or use reverse

polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.

R WARNING!

NEVER let metal, wire or other objects

protrude into the transceiver or into connectors on the

rear panel. This may result in an electric shock.

R WARNING! ALWAYS use the supplied Black and

red cables with fuse holders. After connecting the fuse

holders,

NEVER

cut the DC power cable between the

DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is

made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.

R WARNING! Immediately turn OFF the transceiver

power and remove the power cable if it emits an abnor-

mal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or

distributor for advice.

CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings of the

transceiver. This may reduce transceiver performance

and/or damage to the transceiver.

In particular, incorrect settings for transmitter circuits,

such as output power, idling current, and so on, might

damage the expensive final devices.

The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems

caused by unauthorized internal adjustment.

CAUTION:

NEVER install the transceiver in a place

without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be

reduced, and the transceiver may be damaged.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight

or in areas with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or

above +60°C (+140°F).

The basic operations, transmission and reception of the

transceiver are guaranteed within the specified operat-

ing temperature range. However, the LCD display may

not be operate correctly, or show an indication in the

case of long hours of operation, or after being placed in

extremely cold areas.

DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alco-

hol when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver

surfaces.

DO NOT push the PTT switch when you don’t actually

desire to transmit.

DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting

anything on top of the transceiver. This may overheat

the transceiver.

Always place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent

use by children.

BE CAREFUL! If you use a linear amplifier, set the

transceiver’s RF output power to less than the linear

amplifier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear

amplifier will be damaged.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when

operating the transceiver continuously for long periods

of time.

USE only the specified microphone. Other manufactur-

ers’ microphones have different pin assignments, and

connection to the IC-F8101 may damage the transceiver

or microphone.

During mobile operation, NEVER place the transceiver

where air bag deployment may be obstructed.

During mobile operation, DO NOT place the transceiver

where hot or cold air blows directly onto it.

During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the trans-

ceiver without running the vehicle’s engine. 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.

6CONNECTION AND INSTALLATION

2001 NEW 2001 NEW

■ Ground connection

The 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 two 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 example

Best ground points

• External ground plate

• Copper screen

• Copper foil

Unusable ground points

( These connections may cause an explosion or electrical

shock)

■ Power source

The transceiver requires regulated DC power of 13.8

V and at least 28 A. There are two ways to supply

power:

• Direct connection to a 12 V battery in your vehicle

through the supplied DC power cable.

• Use a DC power supply connected to an AC outlet.

■ Antenna

Most stations operate with a whip or long wire (insu-

lated back stay) antenna. However, these antennas

cannot be connected directly to the transceiver since

their impedance may not match with the transceiver

antenna connector.

RDANGER HIGH VOLTAGE!

NEVER touch the antenna element/wire while tun-

ing or transmitting.

q Attach the Cooling fan to the transceiver’s heat-

sink, and tighten the 4 supplied M3 × 8 mm screws.
