iA110VHF AIR BAND TRANSCEIVERINSTRUCTION MANUALThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
CAUTIONSiR WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op-eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a power source of more than 27.5 V DC. Such a connection will damage the transceiver.NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will be protected by this fuse, higher fuse values will not give any protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be ruined.DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.DO NOT connect the transceiver to a power source using reverse polarity. This connection will not only blow fuses but also may damage the transceiver.DO NOT place unit in a non-secure place to avoid inadvert-ent use by children.FOREWORDREAD ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver.SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This in-struction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-A110.EXPLICIT DEFINITIONSThe explicit definitions below apply to this instruction man-ual.WORD DEFINITIONRWARNING!CAUTIONNOTEPersonal injury, fire hazard or electric shockmay occur.Equipment damage may occur.If disregarded, inconvenience only.

1910 FOR CLASS B UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORSThis 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 reason-able 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 ac-cordance with the Instructions, may cause harmful interfer-ence to radio communications. However, there is no guaran-tee 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 re-ceiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit differ-ent from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
2011SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATIONYour 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 Popu-lation” in an uncontrolled environment.• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Expo-sure Requirements, 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 38 centimeters or more between the transmitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For small vehicle as worst case, the an-tenna shall be located on the roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle in order to achieve 38 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 38 centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.To ensure that your exposure to RF elec-tromagnetic energy is within the FCC al-lowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna at-tached, 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 “TX indica-tor” appears. You can cause the radio to transmit by press-ing the “PTT” switch.Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityDuring transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF en-ergy 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.
