VHF AIR BAND TRANSCEIVER
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
condition that this device does not cause
harmful interference.
CAUTIONS
i
R 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.
FOREWORD
READ 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.

The explicit definitions below apply to this instruction man-
ual.
WORD DEFINITION
RWARNING!
CAUTION
NOTE
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock
may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
Icom, Icom Inc. and the Icom logo are registered trademarks of Icom Incor-
porated (Japan) in Japan, the United states, the United Kingdom, Germany,

DO NOT push [PTT] when not actually desiring to trans-
mit.
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).
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 to
clean the transceiver, as they can damage the trans ceiver’s
surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when op-
erating continuously for long periods of time.

CONNECTION AND INSTALLATION
12
■ Rear panel and connections
q Connects to an antenna
Ask your dealer about antenna selection and best installa-
tion location. (Standard 50 Ω antenna with an SWR <3.0)
w MICROPHONE HANGER
Connect the supplied microphone hanger to the vehicle’s
ground to use the hanger scan function when hanging or
removing the microphone.
e DC POWER RECEPTACLE
Connects to a 12 or 24 V DC battery. Pay attention to
polarities. NEVER connect to a over 27.5 V battery. This
could damage the transceiver.
r EXTERNAL SPEAKER JACK
Connect an 8 Ω, 30 W (Min.) external speaker, if desired.
CAUTION: DO NOT use an external speaker whose
power input rating is less than 30 W or whose impedance
is less than 8 Ω. Using a speaker of less than 30 W power
rating, or less than 8 Ω impedance, could cause damage
to the external speaker or to the transceiver itself.

CLONING
D Data cloning
Cloning allows you to quickly and easily
transfer the programmed contents from one transceiver to
another transceiver or data from a PC to a transceiver using
the optional CS-A110/EURO cloning software.
D Transceiver to transceiver cloning
q Connect the OPC-591 CLONING CABLE with adapter plugs to
the [MIC] jack of the master and sub-transceivers.
• The master transceiver is used to send data to the sub-trans-
ceiver.
w While holding down [Y] + [Z] + [V/M], push [POWER] to
enter cloning mode (master transceiver only —power ON
only for sub-transceiver).
• “CLONE” appears and the
transceivers enter the clone
standby mode.
e Push [POWER] on the mas-
ter transceiver.
• “CL-OUT” appears in the
master transceiver’s dis-
play.
• “CL-IN” appears automati-
cally in the sub-transceiver’s
display.
e When cloning is finished, turn
power OFF, then ON again
to exit the cloning mode.
D Cloning using PC
Data can be cloned to and from a PC using the optional
CS-A110/EURO CLONING SOFTWARE and the optional OPC-478
CLONING CABLE+ OPC-592 CLONING CABLE ADAPTER. Consult the CS-
A110/EURO CLONING SOFTWARE HELP message for details.
D Cloning error
When the display to the right
appears, a cloning error has oc-
curred.
In this case, both transceivers automatically return to the
clone standby mode and cloning must be repeated.

■ OPC-871 Headset adapter
When using a headset (supplied from 3rd party) with an
adapter, the transceiver outputs your transmitted voice to the
headset for monitoring. (pp. 5, 10)
D Installation
The optional OPC-871 HEADSET ADAPTER is installed as
follows.
q Turn OFF the power, then disconnect the DC power
cable.
w Unscrew the 4 screws, then remove the bottom cover. (Fig. 1)
e Insert the connector as shown below. (Fig. 2)
r Mount the phone plug attachment together with the mobile
mounting bracket with 2 supplied screws. (Fig. 3)

10 FOR CLASS B UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS
This 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.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
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 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/Compatibility
During 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. DO NOT operate the
transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic ra-
diation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
