[. . . ] INSTRUCTION MANUAL iGM1600 SURVIVAL CRAFT 2-WAY RADIO 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 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 folW ARN ING lowing 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.

The backlighting brightness can be adjusted in the SET mode. 12) Push any key except for [PTT] to turn the backlighting ON. ·" " appears and audio is emitted. The backlighting is automatically turned OFF after 5 sec. of inactivity. I Signal strength indicator The received signal strength level is indicated by number of bars as below. · Only the antenna mark appears when receiving no signal or a very weak signal when the signal strength indicator is set to ON in the SET mode (p. · This indicator can be hidden by using the SET mode (p. 14) if desired. I VOX function (FOR ON-BOARD USE ONLY) The VOX function (voice operated transmission) starts transmission without pushing [PTT] when you speak into the microphone; then automatically returns to receive when you stop speaking (hands-free operation becomes possible). NOTE: An optional headset and headset adapter (OPC1392) is required for the VOX operation. Push and hold [SQL·MONI], then push [Hi/Lo· ] to turn the VOX function ON/OFF while connecting the optional headset and headset adapter to the [MIC/SP] connector. · "VOX" appears on the LCD while the VOX function is ON. · The "VOX gain" and "VOX delay" can be set in the SET mode. 14 and 15) Indication Signal strength Strong Middle Weak No signal or Very weak 10 5 SET MODE I SET mode programming SET mode is used to change the condition of 11 transceiver functions: beep tone function, monitor switch action, backlighting function, LCD contrast selection, auto power save function, self check function, battery voltage indicator, signal strength indicator, squelch sensitivity function, VOX gain* and VOX delay*. *Available for on-board use only. D SET mode operation q Turn power OFF. w While pushing [SQL·MONI], turn power ON to enter the SET mode. · "bp" (Beep tone function setting) appears. e Push [SQL·MONI] or [SQL·MONI] and [Y]/[Z] to select the desired item, if necessary. r Push [Y]/[Z] to select the desired condition of the item. t Push [16] to exit the SET mode.
