UHF TRANSCEIVER

FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE

WARNING For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure

Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with the

following two conditions:

1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi

The transmitter antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept

at a separation distance of 85 centimeters or more between the transmitter

antenna of this device and persons during operation.

IMPORTANT

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 com-

pletely before using the transceiver.

AVOID operate 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.

message may appear.

wIf the transceiver is programmed for a start up passcode,

input digit codes as directed by your System operator.

• The keys in the diagram 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

inputting 4 digits, the input code number may be incorrect.

Turn power off and start over in this case.

■Channel selection

DTransmitting notes

• Transmit inhibit function

The transceiver has several lockout/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

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 IC-F510/F610: 15 A, IC-F520/F620: 20 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.
