INSTRUCTION MANUAL VHF TRANSCEIVERS iF3011 iF3013 UHF TRANSCEIVERS iF4011 iF4013 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy 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 W ARN ING such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment.
•D O NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or 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”). “50% duty cycle” is also applicable to VOX/PTT mode.
FOREWORD READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL— This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-F3011/ IC-F3013 vhf transceivers and IC-F4011/IC-F4013 uhf transceivers. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS WORD RDANGER RWARNING CAUTION NOTE DEFINITION Personal death, serious injury or an explosion may occur. Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur. Equipment damage may occur.
PRECAUTIONS R CAUTION! 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 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 in.) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical. R CAUTION! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. R CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack.
