contains important operating instructions for the transceiver.
INSTALLATION NOTES
• When transmitting with a portable radio, hold the radio in a vertical
position with its microphone 2.5 to 5 centimeters (1 to 2 in.) away
from your mouth. Keep the antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 in.)
from your head and body.
• If you wear a portable two-way radio on your body, ensure that the
antenna is at least 2.5 centimeters (1 in.) from your body when
transmitting.
IMPORTANT
RCAUTION! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is
very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the
face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if
the microphone is 2 to 4 in. (5 to 10 cm) away from the lips and the
transceiver is vertical.
RCAUTION! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or
other audio accessories at high volume levels.
RCAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas
with temperatures below +14°F (–10°C) or above +122°F (+50°C).
The basic operations, transmission and reception of the transceiver,
are guaranteed within the specified operating temperature range
(depending on version). However, the LCD display may not be op-
erate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of
operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.
DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.
KEEP the transceiver from the heavy rain, and Never immerse it in
the water. The transceiver construction is water resistant, not wa-
terproof.
The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver
performance and invalidate the warranty.

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 in-
tended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled
environment.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF expo-
sure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, your Icom radio
complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to
RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of
such levels for exposure to humans:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Stan-
dard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Rec-
ommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous
Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.
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
WARNING
CAUTION
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
iv
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 indicator” lights red. You can
cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.
•ALWAYS use Icom authorized accessories (antennas, batteries,
belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories can
cause the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be ex-
ceeded.
•ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 1 cm (0.4 inches) away from
the body when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compli-
ance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of
your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least
5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, and slightly off to one side.
The information listed above provides the user with the information
needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do
to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure lim-
its of this radio.
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.

‘‘Battery cautions
• CAUTION! NEVER short terminals (or charging terminals) of the
battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects
such as a necklace, so be careful when placing battery packs (or
the transceiver) in handbags, etc.
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a neck-
lace, etc. causes shorting. This will damage not only the battery
pack, but also the transceiver.
• NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may
cause an explosion.
• NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack be-
comes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the
transceiver.
• Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or miss contact.
• Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean battery ter-
minals once a week.
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being
charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON
overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the battery
pack still does not retain a charge (or only very little charge), a new
battery pack must be purchased. (p. 9)

‘‘DTMF PAGER/CODE SQUELCH
DDDTMF pager
This function uses DTMF tones for calling and can be used as a
“common pager” to inform you that one of your group has called
even if the operator is temporarily away from the transceiver.
• When the connection code is received, a beep sounds, then “ ”
flashes and shows the called station’s code number.
• The called station’s code number is memorized automatically, and
is easy to re-call with “ID-MR select function”.
DDCode squelch
This conveniently eliminates unwanted audio and is useful in group
activities or security related activities where unwanted output can
be a problem. The function is similar to a CTCSS tone squelch.
In order to use the above functions, cloning is necessary via a
PC using the optional CS-F30G
CLONING SOFTWARE
. Using this
software, the transceiver’s model, individual RX Code CH, TX
Code CH, Special Tone Link2 (must be ‘E’) in 5Tone screen,
5Tone Signaling Form in Memory-CH screen, Log, RX C-No,
Key&Display, Common Auto Reset Timer B, and other settings
related to operation can be set. Refer to the HELP file that comes
with the CS-F30G
CLONING SOFTWARE
for available settings.
‘‘Cloning
Cloning allows you to quickly and easily transfer the programmed
contents or data from PC to a transceiver using the optional CS-
F30G
CLONING SOFTWARE
.
