IMPORTANT
READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CAREFULLY before attempting to operate the
transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This
manual contains important safety and operating in-
structions for the IC-M802.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER at-
tach an antenna or internal antenna connector during
transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or
burn.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to
an AC outlet directly. This may pose a fire hazard or
result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER mount the transceiver
(main unit) overhead. The weight of the transceiver is
approximately 8 kg, but its apparent weight will in-
crease several fold due to wave shocks or vibration.
The transceiver must be mounted on a flat hard sur-
face only.
RNEVER connect a power source of more than
16 V DC, such as a 24 V battery. This connection
could cause a fire or ruin the transceiver.
RNEVER place the transceiver where normal oper-
ation of the ship or vehicle may be hindered or where it
could cause bodily injury.
RNEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any
internal part or connectors on the rear panel of the
transceiver. This may result in an electric shock.
RNEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or
any liquids.
DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the trans-
ceiver surface.
During maritime mobile operation, KEEP the trans-
ceiver and microphone as far away as possible (at
least 1 m; 3 ft) from the magnetic navigation compass
to prevent erroneous indications.
Use Icom microphones and/or headset only (supplied
or optional). Other manufacturer’s microphones and/or
headset have different pin assignments, and connec-
tion to the IC-M802 may damage the transceiver.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with
temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F).
AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty en-
vironments or in direct sunlight.
AVOID placing the transceiver against walls or putting
anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct
heat dissipation.
Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use
by children.
BE CAREFUL! The heatsink will become hot when op-
erating the transceiver continuously for long periods.

OPERATING RULES AND GUIDELINES
Before transmitting, monitor the channel you wish to
use so as to avoid interrupting transmissions al-
ready in progress.
• CALL PROCEDURE
Calls must be properly identified and the time limit
must be respected.
qGive your call sign each time you call another ves-
sel or coast guard station. If you have no call sign,
identify the station by giving your vessel name and
the name of the licensee.
wGive your call sign at the end of each transmission
that lasts more than 3 min.
eYou must break and give your call sign at least once
every 15 min. during long ship-to-shore calls.
rKeep your unanswered calls short, less than
30 sec. Do not repeat a call for 2 min.
tUnnecessary transmissions are not allowed.
• PRIORITIES
qRead all rules and regulations pertaining to priori-
ties and keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and
distress calls take priority over all others.
wFalse or fraudulent distress signals are prohibited
and punishable by law.
• PRIVACY
qInformation overheard but not intended for you, can-
not lawfully be used in any way.
wIndecent or profane language is prohibited.
• LOGS
qAll distress, emergency and safety calls must be
recorded in complete details. Log data activity is
usually recorded in 24 hour time. Universal Time
(UTC) is frequently used.
wAdjustments, repairs, channel frequency changes
and authorized modifications affecting electrical op-
eration of the equipment must be kept in the main-
tenance log; entries must be signed by the autho-
rized licensed technician performing or supervising
the work.
• RADIO LICENSES
(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE
You must have a current radio station license before
using the transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship
station which is not licensed.
Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate govern-
ment agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license appli-
cation. This government-issued license states the call
sign which is your craft’s identification for radio pur-
poses.
(2) OPERATOR'S LICENSE
A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the li-
cense most often held by small vessel radio operators
when a radio is not required for safety purposes.
The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must
be posted or kept with the operator. Only a licensed
radio operator may operate the transceiver.
However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a
transceiver if a licensed operator starts, supervises,
and ends the call and makes the necessary log en-
tries.
Keep a copy of the current government rules and reg-
ulation handy.

■Functions for transmit
DDTransmit frequency check
When “DUP” appears in the display such as for a
ship-to-ship channel, the transmit frequency differs
from the receive frequency.
In such cases, the transmit frequency should be mon-
itored before transmitting to prevent interference to
other stations.
➥Push and hold [TX
TXF
] to monitor the transmit fre-
quency. •The display shows the transmit frequency.
DDTransmit power selection
The transceiver has 3 selectable power output lev-
els.* High power allows linger distance communica-
tions and low power reduces power consumption.
*Only 2 selectable output power levels are available with
some versions. In this case, low stands for 60 W (the same
as middle).
qPush [F] first.
•“F” appears.

RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT
■Functions for receive
DDSquelch function
The squelch function detects signals with voice com-
ponents and squelches (mutes) unwanted signals
such as unmodulated beat signals. This provides
quiet stand-by.
When you need to receive weak signals, the squelch
should be turned OFF.
➥Push [F] then [2
SQL
] to switch the function ON
and OFF.
•“SQL” appears when the squelch function is turned ON.
DDNoise blanker
The noise blanker function reduces pulse type noise
such as that coming from engine ignitions, etc.
The noise blanker may distort reception of strong sig-
nals. In such cases, the noise blanker should be
turned OFF.
➥Push [F] then [1
NB
] to switch the function ON and
OFF.
•“NB” appears when the squelch function is turned ON.
DDAGC OFF function
The receive gain is automatically adjusted according
to received signal strength with the AGC (Automatic
Gain Control) function to prevent distortion from
strong signals and to obtain a constant output level.
When receiving weak signals with adjacent strong
signals or noise, the AGC function may reduce the
sensitivity. In this situation, the AGC function should
be deactivated.
➥Push [F] then [5
AGC
] to switch the function ON
and OFF. •“ ” appears when the squelch function is turned OFF.
AGC
DDRF gain setting
The receiver gain can be reduced with the RF gain
setting. This may help to remove undesired weak sig-
nals while monitoring strong signals.
Usually, the AGC function reduces the RF gain ac-
cording to the receive signal strength and these weak
signals are removed. However, during no signal re-
ception, these weak signals may not be heard.
In such cases, the RF gain may be useful for setting a
minimum level at which to hear signals.
qPush [F] then [6

•S-meter shows the minimum permitted level.
ePush [SET] to exit the RF gain set mode.
DDClarity control
Voice signals received from other stations may be dif-
ficult to receive. This may sometimes happen if a sta-
tion is transmitting slightly off frequency. In such
cases, you can compensate by using the clarity con-
trol.
When receiving weak signals with adjacent strong
signals or noise, the AGC function may reduce the
sensitivity. In this situation, the AGC function should
be deactivated.
qPush [F] then [RX
