CAUTIONS
RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be ob-
served when operating this device. If you have any questions re-
garding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the
Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and
Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guide-
lines for Human Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET
Bulletin 65)
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC
outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while dri-
ving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything
less may result in an accident.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more
than 16 V DC. This will ruin the transceiver.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using re-
verse polarity. This 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 may be damaged.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the
vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
NEVER let objects impede the operation of the cooling fan on
the rear panel.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-
mit.
DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment con-
taining a transmitter.
During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver
without running the vehicle’s engine. When the transceiver’s
power is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s bat-
tery will soon become exhausted.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when op-
erating it continuously for long periods.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14˚F) or above +60°C
(+140˚F).
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s surfaces.
USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other man-
ufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments and may
damage the transceiver if attached.

■Tone scan
By monitoring a signal that is being operated with pocket
beep or tone squelch function, you can determine the tone
frequency necessary to open a squelch.
qSet the channel to be checked for a tone frequency.
wPush [(TONE)T-SCAN] for 1 sec. to start the tone scan.
•To change the scanning direction, rotate the tuning dial.
eWhen the CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit DTCS code is
matched, the squelch opens and the tone frequency is
temporarily programmed into the selected mode such as
memory or call channel.
•The tone scan pauses when a CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit
DTCS code is detected.
•The decoded CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit DTCS code is
used for the tone encoder or tone encoder/decoder depending
on the tone squelch ON/OFF setting.
rPush [V/MHz(SCAN)] to stop the scan.
zSet the channel to be checked for a tone frequency.
xPush [F-2] for 1 sec. to start the tone scan.
cWhen the tone frequency is matched, the squelch opens
and the tone frequency is programmed into the selected
mode such as memory or call channel.
vPush [clr A(MW)] to stop the scan.
☞NOTE: The decoded tone frequency is programmed tem-
porarily when a memory or call channel is selected. How-
ever, this will be cleared when overwriting the memory/call
channel.
