[. . . ] This radio has been evaluated for compliance at the distance of 2. 5 cm with the FCC RF exposure limits for "Occupational Use Only". In addition, your Icom radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans: · FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. · American National Standards Institute (C95. 1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. · American National Standards Institute (C95. 3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields­ RF and Microwave. [. . . ] To receive weaker signals, loosen the squelch w Push and hold [PTT] to transmit. ·" " indicator appears. e Speak into the microphone at a normal voice level. · DO NOT hold the transceiver too close to your mouth or speak too loudly. This may distort the signal. r Release [PTT] to return to receive. I ANL function The ANL (Automatic Noise Limiter) function reduces noise components such as that caused by engine ignition systems while receiving. · Push [ANL·SCAN] to turn the ANL function ON/OFF. " " appears on the display while the ANL function is ON. 9 BASIC OPERATION 3 I Low battery indicator Low battery indicator appears Low battery indicator when the battery power has decreased to a specified level. The attached battery pack requires recharging. D Deletes the stored recall channel q Push w Push or to select the deleting recall channel. to delete it. · (e. g. ) Deletes "r0" recall channel which is stored 120. 450 MHz, and "r1" recall channel stores 123. 450 MHz. 3 I Recall function The recall function stores the last 10 frequencies used. The function stores frequencies when the frequency is programmed and transmitted on (except memory, weather and emergency channels). D Replaces the stored recall channel q Push w Push or to select the replacing recall channel. , then push or to replace it. · Replaces the selected channel into the previous channel when push , then . · Replaces the selected channel into the behind channel when push , then . · (e. g. ) Replaces "r0" which is stored 121. 375 MHz into "r1". D Calling the stored frequencies Push Push to call the 1st stored frequency. to call the 10th stored frequency. Appears recall number. · Recall number rotation : Push : Push NOTE: Deletes in order of old recall channel automatically when stored frequencies exceeds 10 channels. e Push , then push [MR·MW] to transfer the memory channel's contents into the frequency mode. number disappears as frequency mode is automatically selected and the memory contents are transferred. Using [DIAL]: w Push [0·BANK], then rotate [DIAL] to select the desired memory BANK number, then push [0·BANK] (or [CLR·DEL]) to exit the BANK selection mode. · "BANK" appears. e Rotate [DIAL] to select the desired memory CH. is programmed in the selected BANK, no memory CH. selection is available. Using the Keypad: w Push [0·BANK], then push appropriate digit key ([0·BANK] to [9·TAG]) to select the desired memory BANK number, then push [0·BANK] (or [CLR·DEL]) to exit the BANK-selection mode. · "BANK" appears. e Push 2 appropriate digit key (00 to 19) to select the desired memory CH. is programmed in the selected BANK, no memory CH. Memory mode Frequency mode NOTE: Comments appear first when programmed, however, the transceiver can be programmed by your dealer to show the operating frequency first. Push [MR·MW] to display the comment in this case. 12 4 MEMORY OPERATION I Programming a memory channel The transceiver has 200 (20 CH. × 10 BANK) memory channels for storage of often-used frequencies. q Push [CLR·DEL] to select the frequency mode, if necessary. w Select the desired frequency. · Push , then push [ENT·WX] to select a weather channel. * · Set the desired frequency or weather channel* using [DIAL] or keypad. · EXAMPLE: Programming WX-05* into memory BANK 3/ memory channel 9. Push Push or Push Push e Push , then push [MR·MW] to program the contents into the selected memory channel. · Memory BANK and memory channel number appears. r Rotate [DIAL] to select the desired memory channel number. · Push , then push [0·BANK] to select the BANK number if desired. [. . . ] By cutting along the line and folding on the dotted line, it will become a card sized operating guide which can easily be carried in a card case or wallet, etc. iA24/A6 n VOR NAVIGATION (p. 22) Entering a desired course. q Push keypad or rotate [DIAL] to set the frequency for the desired VOR station. Push , then push [2 TO] or [3 FROM] to change the tofrom flag. w Push 32 <CUT HERE> n VOR NAVIGATION (p. 20) Flying to a VOR station OPERATION GUIDE q Select a VOR station on your aeronautical chart and push the keypad or rotate [DIAL] to set the station's frequency. VOR NAVIGATION Flying to a VOR station (Continued) r The course deviation needle appears when your aircraft is off course from the VOR station. t Push w Select the 'TO' flag when flying to , then push [1 DVOR] to exit the CDI mode. n SCAN (pgs.
