BASIC MANUAL FM TRANSCEIVER |V3500 Thank you for choosing this Icom product. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using this product. I Important SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS- This instruction manual contains basic operating instructions for the IC-V3500. For advanced operating instructions, see the ADVANCED MANUAL on the Icom website. The Advanced manual can be downloaded from the following internet address: https://www.icomjapan.com/support/ 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 details. I 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. CAUTION Equipment damage may occur. NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock. Icom is not responsible for the destruction, damage to, or performance of any Icom or non-Icom equipment, if the malfunction is because of: • Force majeure, including, but not limited to, fires, earthquakes, storms, floods, lightning, other natural disasters, disturbances, riots, war, or radioactive contamination. • The use of Icom transceivers with any equipment that is not manufactured or approved by Icom. I Supplied accessories NOTE: Some accessories may not be supplied, or the shape may differ, depending on the transceiver version. Microphone DC Power Cable (3 m) Spare Fuse (125 V 15 A) Microphone hanger Mobile mounting bracket Mounting screws, nuts, and washers I Precautions R DANGER HIGH RF VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an antenna or antenna connector while transmitting. This could cause an electrical shock or burn. R DANGER! NEVER operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. This could cause an explosion and death. R DANGER! NEVER place the transceiver where airbag deployment may be obstructed during mobile operations. R WARNING RF EXPOSURE! This transceiver emits Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be observed when operating this transceiver. If you have any questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards, please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology's report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65). R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard and/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 source and antenna before a storm. 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 may be damaged. 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 operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This could cause an electric shock or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where the vehicle's normal operation may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury. R WARNING! NEVER let metal, wire, or other objects contact the transceiver inside or make incorrect contact with connectors on the rear panel. This could cause an electric shock or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER operate the equipment if you notice an abnormal odor, sound, or smoke. Immediately turn OFF the power and the DC power cable. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor for advice. CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention-anything less may result in an accident. CAUTION DO NOT reverse the DC power cable polarity. This could damage the transceiver. CAUTION: DO NOT expose the transceiver to rain, snow, or any liquids. They could damage the transceiver. CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the vehicle's engine. The vehicle's battery will quickly run out when the transceiver is used while the vehicle's engine is OFF. CAUTION: DO NOT install or place the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation or block any cooling vents on the top, rear, sides, or bottom of the transceiver. Heat dissipation may be reduced and damage the transceiver.
