SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL— This in- struction manual contains important operating instructions forthe IC-R20. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS WORD DEFINITION R WARNING! CAUTION NOTE Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shockmay occur.Equipment damage may occur.Recommended for optimum use. No risk ofpersonal injury, fire or electric shock. Icom, Icom Inc. and the logo are registered trademarks of Icom Incorporated (Japan) in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ger-many, France, Spain, Russia and/or other countries. R WARNING! NEVER operate the receiver with a ear- phone, headphones or other audio accessories at high vol-ume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous highvolume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, re-duce the volume level or discontinue use. R WARNING! NEVER connect the receiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electricshock. R WARNING! NEVER operate the receiver while dri- ving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—any-thing less may result in an accident. R WARNING! NEVER throw a battery cell or battery pack into a fire since as internal battery gas can cause explo-sion. R WARNING! NEVER disassemble the battery pack. If the battery cell’s internal material (electrolyte liquid) getsinto your eyes, wash your eyes with water and obtain treat-ment from an eye doctor immediately. NEVER connect the receiver to a power source of more than 6 V DC directly. This will damage the receiver. NEVER connect the receiver to a power source using re- verse polarity. This will damage the receiver. NEVER expose the receiver to rain, snow or any liquids. The receiver may be damaged. NEVER operate or touch the receiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage the receiver. NEVER solder the battery cell. This may damage the bat- tery. AVOID using or placing the receiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14 ̊F) or above+60°C (+140 ̊F). AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al- cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the receiver’s sur-faces.Even when the receiver power is OFF, a slight current stillflows in the circuits. Remove batteries from the receiver whennot using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed batterieswill become exhausted, and will need to be recharged. RESPECT other peaple’s privacy. Information overheard but not intended for you cannot lawfully be used in any way.For U.S.A. onlyCAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device, not ex- pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority tooperate this device under FCC regulations. ii PRECAUTION iii SUPPLIED ACCESSORIESq Antenna (FA-B04RE) .............................................1 w Belt clip (MB-98) ................................................1 set e Battery spacer ......................................................1 r Hand strap .........................................................1 t Battery pack* (BP-206) ..........................................1 y AC adaptor*(BC-149A/D) .......................................1 (The shape of the BC-149A and BC-149D are different.) *Not supplied with some versions. OPERATING THEORYElectromagnetic radiation which has frequencies of20,000 Hz (20 kHz*) and above is called radio frequency (RF)energy because it is useful in radio transmissions. The IC-R20 receives RF energy from 0.150 MHz* to 3304.999 MHzand converts it into audio frequency (AF) energy which in turnactuates a loudspeaker to create sound waves. AF energy isin the range of 20 to 20,000 Hz.*kHz is an abbreviation of kilohertz or 1000 hertz, MHz is abbreviation of megahertz or 1,000,000 hertz, where hertz is a unit of frequency. OPERATING NOTESThe IC-R20 may receive its own oscillated frequency, result-ing in no reception or only noise reception, on some frequen-cies.The IC-R20 may receive interference from extremely strongsignals on different frequencies or when using an externalhigh-gain antenna. qwe y r t iv TABLE OF CONTENTS 123456789101112131415 FOREWORD .................................................. iIMPORTANT .................................................. iEXPLICIT DEFINITIONS ................................ iPRECAUTION ............................................... iiSUPPLIED ACCESSORIES ......................... iiiOPERATING THEORY ................................. iiiOPERATING NOTES ................................... iiiTABLE OF CONTENTS ................................ ivQUICK REFERENCE GUIDE ..................
