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 such
hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the
"General Population" in an uncontrolled environment.
• For compliance with FCC and IC RF Exposure
Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall
comply with the following three conditions:
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.
2. IC-F7510:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a
vehicle and kept at a distance of 57 centimeters (23
inches) or more between the transmitting antenna
of this device and any persons during operation. For
small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be
located on the roof top at any place on the center line
along the vehicle in order to achieve 57 centimeters
(23 inches) separation distance. In order to ensure
this distance is met, the installation of the antenna
must be mounted at least 57 centimeters (23 inches)
away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to
protect against exposure to bystanders.
2. IC-F7520:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a
vehicle and kept at a distance of 42 centimeters
(17 inches) or more between the transmitting antenna
of this device and any persons during operation. For
small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be
located on the roof top at any place on the center line
along the vehicle in order to achieve 42 centimeters
(17 inches) separation distance. In order to ensure
this distance is met, the installation of the antenna
must be mounted at least 42 centimeters (17 inches)
away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to
protect against exposure to bystanders.
3. IC-F7510:
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle
are at least the recommended minimum distance
of 136 centimeters (54 inches) away from the
properly installed antenna. This separation distance
will ensure that there is sufficient distance from
a properly installed externally-mounted antenna
to satisfy the RF exposure requirements in the
applicable RF exposure compliance standards.
3. IC-F7520:
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle
are at least the recommended minimum distance
of 119 centimeters (47 inches) away from the
properly installed antenna. This separation distance
will ensure that there is sufficient distance from
a properly installed externally-mounted antenna
to satisfy the RF exposure requirements in the
applicable RF exposure compliance standards
IMPORTANT
This instruction sheet includes some functions that are
usable only when they are preset by your dealer. The
transceiver may have other functions and operations that
are not described in this instruction sheet. Ask your dealer
for preset function details.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
WORD DEFINITION
R DANGER! Personal death, serious injury or an
explosion may occur.
R WARNING! Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
CAUTION
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No
NOTE
risk of personal injury, fire or electric
shock.
ANTENNA
A key element in the performance of any communication
systems is the antenna. Contact your dealer for
information regarding antennas and how to install them.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
Fuses are installed in the supplied DC power cable. If a
fuse blows, track down the source of the problem, repair it,
and then replace the damaged fuse with a new rated one.
L Fuse rating: 20A
NOTE: Use only 20 A fuses.
To ensure that your exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy is within the
FCC and IC allowable limits for
occupational use, 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 and IC 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 and IC RF exposure
compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is
transmitting when the status indicator lights red. You
can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the "PTT"
switch.
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.
PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC
outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a
lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause
a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the
power souce and antenna before a storm.
R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power
source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This
could damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable between
the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is
made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.
R WARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where normal
operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could
cause bodily injury.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow
or any liquids.
CAUTION: Confirm that all connectors and jacks are dry
and clean before attachment. Exposing them to dust or
water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.
CAUTION: The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.
DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in areas with
temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above 60°C
(140°F), or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the
dashboard.
DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas outside of the specified temperature range:
–30°C (–22°F) ~ 60°C (140°F)
DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the
vehicle's engine. The vehicle's battery will quickly run out
when the transceiver transmits while the vehicle's engine
is OFF.
DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in excessively
dusty environments.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. Otherwise
heat dissipation will be obstructed.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver's surfaces.
DO NOT block the air vent when installing the transceiver.
This transceiver has an air vent on the bottom panel of the
transceiver to meet the IP55 requirements.
Use the specified microphone only. Other microphones
have different pin assignments and may damage the radio.
Place the radio in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use
by unauthorized persons.
CLEANING
If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with
a soft, dry cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents
such as Benzine or alcohol, as they may
damage the transceiver's surfaces.

harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the condition that this device does
not cause harmful interference.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver,
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void
your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC
regulations.
