INSTRUCTION MANUAL iV82 UHF TRANSCEIVER VHF TRANSCEIVER iU82 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. IC-V82 IC-U82 FOREWORD Thank you for purchasing this Icom product. The IC-V82/U82 VHF/UHF TRANSCEIVERS are designed and built with Icom's superior technology and craftsmanship. With proper care, this product should provide you with years of trouble-free operation. We want to take a couple of moments of your time to thank you for making your IC-V82/U82 your radio of choice, and hope you agree with Icom's philosophy of "technology first." Many hours of research and development went into the design of your IC-V82/U82. IMPORTANT READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL-- This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-V82/U82. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS DEFINITION Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock R WARNING! may occur. CAUTION NOTE Equipment damage may occur. Recommended for optimum use. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock. WORD D FEATURES 7 W*-- high transmit output power (*IC-V82, 5 W for IC-U82) CTCSS and DTCS encoder/decoder standard Optional digital modulator/demodulator Optional DTMF decoder Icom, Icom Inc. and the logo are registered trademarks of Icom Incorporated (Japan) in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Russia and/or other countries. i PRECAUTIONS RWARNING! 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 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical. Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children. DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. 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). The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty. Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the battery pack or installed rechargeable batteries (Ni-Cd: BP-222N, BP-209N, Ni-MH: BP-210N, Li-Ion: BP-211N) will become exhausted. For USA only: Caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations. RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will be protected by this fuse, but higher fuse values will not give any protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be ruined. NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be aware that external DC power connections will charge batteries inside the battery case. This will damage not only the battery case but also the transceiver. DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit. ii SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES Supplied Accessories q Antenna* . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 w Belt clip (with screws) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 e AC Adapter*. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 r Battery pack*/Battery case* . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 t Battery charger*. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 set *Not supplied with some versions. e q w for IC-V82 for IC-U82 t r iii SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION CAUTION To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits, always adhere to the following guidelines: · DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage 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 an 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"). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the "Tx indicator" appears. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the "PTT" switch. · ALWAYS use Icom authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. · ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting, and only use the Icom belt-clips which are listed in this manual when attaching the radio to your belt, etc. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the transceiver at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and turned slightly to one side. The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD .................................................................................... i IMPORTANT..................................................................................... i EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS.................................................................. i PRECAUTIONS............................................................................... ii SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES ........................................................... iii SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION.............................................. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS .............................................................. v­vi QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE ......................................................
