SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the IC-7600. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS WORD DEFINITION Personal death, serious injury or an RDANGER explosion may occur. Personal injury, fire hazard or electric RWARNING shock may occur. CAUTION Equipment damage may occur. NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock. Spurious signals may be received near the following frequencies. These are made in the internal circuit and does not indicate a transceiver malfunction. 10.4923MHz, 24.576MHz 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.

FCC INFORMATION

• FOR CLASS B UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:

Th±s equ±pment has been tested and found to comply

w±th the l±m±ts for a Class B d±g±tal dev±ce, pursuant to

part 15 of the FCC Rules. These l±m±ts are des±gned

to prov±de reasonable protect±on aga±nst harmful

±nterference ±n a res±dent±al ±nstallat±on. Th±s equ±p-

ment generates, uses and can rad±ate rad±o frequency

energy and, ±f not ±nstalled and used ±n accordance

w±th the ±nstruct±ons, may cause harmful ±nterference

to rad±o commun±cat±ons. However, there ±s no guar-

antee that ±nterference w±ll not occur ±n a part±cular

±nstallat±on. If th±s equ±pment does cause harmful

±nterference to rad±o or telev±s±on recept±on, wh±ch can

be determ±ned by turn±ng the equ±pment off and on,

the user ±s encouraged to try to correct the ±nterfer-

ence by one or more of the follow±ng measures:

• Reor±ent or relocate the rece±v±ng antenna.

• Increase the separat±on between the equ±pment

and rece±ver.

• Connect the equ±pment ±nto an outlet on a

c±rcu±t d±fferent from that to wh±ch the rece±ver ±s

connected.

• Consult the dealer or an exper±enced rad±o/TV

techn±c±an for help.
