EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more
than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection will ruin
the transceiver.
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.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of
the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily
injury.
NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver.
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
USE supplied microphone only. Other microphones have
different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
CAUTIONS
WORD DEFINITION
RWARNING Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock
may occur.
CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and complete-
ly before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This
instruction manual contains important operating instructions for
the IC-F510/IC-F520 VHF TRANSCEIVER and
IC-F610/IC-F620 UHF TRANSCEIVER.
IMPORTANT
RRWARNING
For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure
Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall com-
ply with the following two conditions:
1.The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi
2.The transmitter antenna is required to be located outside
of a vehicle and kept at a separation distance of 85 cen-
timeters or more between the transmitter antenna of this
device and persons during operation

peratures below –22°F (–30°C) or above +140°F (+60°C) or,
in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
AVOID operating the transceiver without running the vehi-
cle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if the
transceiver is in transmission while the vehicle’s engine OFF.
AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
AVOID placing the transceiver against walls. This will
obstruct heat dissipation.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or
alcohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver sur-
faces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not
expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to
operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

message may appear.
wIf the transceiver is programmed for a start up passcode,
input digit codes as directed by your Dealer.
• The keys in the table below can be used for password input:
• The transceiver detects numbers in the same block as identical.
Therefore “01234” and “56789” are the same.
eWhen the “PASSWORD” indication does not clear after

speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.
DTransmitting notes
• Transmit inhibit function
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:
- The channel is in mute condition (‘Inaudible’ condition; “ ”
does not appear).
- Channel is busy.
- No matched (or matched) CTCSS is received.
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.
• Time-out timer
After continuous transmission for a pre-programmed period,
the time-out timer is activated causing the transceiver to stop
transmitting and automatically select receive.
• Penalty timer
Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further
inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer.

CONNECTION AND MAINTENANCE
■Antenna
A key element in the performance of any communication sys-
tem is an antenna. Ask your Dealer about antennas and the
best places to mount them.
■Fuse replacement
Two fuses are installed in the supplied DC power cable. If a
fuse blows or the transceiver stops functioning, track down
the source of the problem, if possible, and replace the dam-
aged fuse with a new rated one.
❑Fuse rating : 15 A,
■Cleaning
If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a
dry, soft cloth.
AVOID the use of solvents such as benzene or alco-
hol, as they may damage transceiver surfaces.
