FCC INFORMATION
• FOR CLASS B UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications to this device, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this device under FCC regulations.

RADIO OPERATOR WARNING
Icom requires the radio operator to meet the
FCC Requirements for Radio Frequency
Exposure. An omnidirectional antenna with
W ARNING
gain not greater than 9 dBi must be mounted a minimum of 5 meters (measured from the lowest point of the antenna) vertically above the main deck and all possible personnel. This is the minimum safe separation distance estimated to meet all RF exposure compliance requirements. This 5 meter distance is based on the FCC Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure
(MPE) distance of 3 meters added to the height of an adult
(2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels.
For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna must be mounted so as to maintain a minimum of 1 meter vertically between the antenna, (measured from the lowest point of the antenna), to the heads of all persons AND all persons must stay outside of the 3 meter MPE radius.
Do not transmit with radio and antenna when persons are within the MPE radius of the antenna, unless such persons
(such as driver or radio operator) are shielded from antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance from the antenna axis that person should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by FCC.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW
THOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF
RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC
MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADIO OPERATOR
TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE
EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES
D U R I N G R A D I O T R A N S M I S S I O N . T H E R A D I O

PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Determining MPE Radius
THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE)
RADIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS OF
ABOUT 3M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC.
THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXIMUM
POWER OF THE RADIO AND ANTENNAS WITH A
MAXIMUM GAIN OF 9dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP
MOUNTED SYSTEM.

PRECAUTIONS
RWARNING! NEVER
connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER
connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity.
This will could cause a fire the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER
cut the DC power cable between the DC plug at the back of the transceiver and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged.
CAUTION: NEVER
place the transceiver where normal operation of the vessel may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
KEEP
the transceiver and microphone at least 1 meter (3.3 feet) away from your vessel’s magnetic navigation compass.
DO NOT
use or place the transceiver in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol to clean the transceiver, as they will damage the transceiver’s surfaces. If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver rear panel will become hot when operating continuously for long periods of time.
Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver meets IPX7* requirements for waterproof protection. However, once the transceiver has been dropped, waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceiver’s case or the waterproof seal.
* Except for the DC power and other cables.
vii
D PRIORITIES
• Read all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities and keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and Distress calls take priority over all others.
• You must monitor Channel 16 when you are not operating on another channel.
• False or fraudulent distress signals are prohibited and punishable by law.
D PRIVACY
• Information overheard but not intended for you cannot lawfully be used in any way.
• Indecent or profane language is prohibited.
D 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 government agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license application. This government-issued license states the call sign which is your craft’s identification for radio purposes.
OPERATING RULES
1
(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE
A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license 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 a transceiver.
However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a transceiver if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends the call and makes the necessary log entries.
Keep a copy of the current government rules and regulations handy.
Radio license for boaters (U.S.A. only)
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 permits recreational boaters to have and use a VHF marine radio, EPIRB, and marine radar without having an FCC ship station license.
Boaters traveling on international voyages, having an
HF single sideband radiotelephone or marine satellite terminal, or required to carry a marine radio under any other regulation must still carry an FCC ship station license. For further information, see the FCC Ship Radio
Stations Fact Sheet.

Scan types
Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over a wide frequency range. The transceiver has Priority scan and
Normal scan.
When the Weather Alert function is turned ON, the previously selected (last used) weather channel is also checked while scanning. (p. 45)
PRIORITY SCAN
CH 01 CH 02
Set the TAG channels (scanned channel) before scanning.
Clear any TAG channels which inconveniently stop scanning, such as those for digital communication use. (Refer to the next page for details.)

NORMAL SCAN
CH 01 CH 02
WX* CH 03
WX* CH 16 CH 03
CH 05 CH 04
*When the weather alert function is activated.
Priority scan searches through all TAG channels in sequence, while monitoring Channel 16. When a signal is detected on Channel 16, the scan pauses until the signal disappears. When a signal is detected on a channel other than Channel 16, scan becomes Dualwatch until the signal disappears.
CH 05 CH 04
*When the weather alert function is activated.
Normal scan, like Priority scan, searches through all TAG channels in sequence. However, unlike Priority scan,
Channel 16 is not checked unless Channel 16 is set as a
TAG channel.

The transceiver does not turn ON.
No sound or weak sound comes from speaker.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Bad connection to the power supply.
• Squelch level is too high.
• Volume level is too low.
• Speaker has been exposed to water.
Transmitting is impossible, or high power can not be selected.
• Some channels are for low power or receive only.
• The output power is set to low.
SOLUTION REF.
• Check the connection between the power supply and the transceiver.
• Set [SQL] to the threshold point.
• Set
