SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This in- struction manual contains important operating instructions forthe IC-A210. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONSThe explicit definitions below apply to this instruction manual. WORD DEFINITION R WARNING Personal injur y, Þre hazard or electr ic shock may occur. CAUTION Equipment damage may occur. NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No r isk of personal injur y, Þre or electr ic shock.

FEATURES❍ Large, bright OLED display A fixed mount VHF airband first! The IC-A210 has an organic lightemitting diode (OLED) display. All man-made lighting emits its ownlight and display offers many advantages in brightness, not bright-ness, vividness, high contrast, wide viewing angle and response timecompared to a conventional display. In addition, the auto dimmerfunction adjusts the display for optimum brightness at day or night.❍ Easy channel selection It’s fast and easy to select any of memory channels in the IC-A210.The “flip-flop” arrow button switches between active and standbychannels. The dualwatch function allows you to monitor two channelssimultaneously. In addition, the history memory channel stores thelast 10 channels used and allows you to recall those channels easily.❍ GPS memory function When connected to an external GPS receiver* equipped with an air-port frequency database, the IC-A210 will instantly tune in the localairport frequency as you fly into its airspace.*Ask your dealer for available GPS receiver details.❍ 13.8 V/27.5 V DC power source The built-in DC-DC converter accepts a 13.8/27.5 V DC powersource. The IC-A210 is easily installed in most airplanes or vehicles.❍ Intercom function The IC-A210 has a built-in voice activated intercom function allowingthe pilot to talk with a co-pilot via headset. The IC-A210 has ad-justable audio level and squelch control functions. IC-A210.qxd 2007.07.24 8:12 AM Page b DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans- mit. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above+55°C (+131°F).AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi- ronments.AVOID placing the transceiver against walls. This will ob- struct heat dissipation. AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al- cohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver sur-faces. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating continuously for long periods. PRECAUTIONS ii R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op-eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce thevolume level or discontinue use. NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a power source of more than 28 V DC. Such a connection willdamage the transceiver. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection willbe protected by this fuse, higher fuse values will not give anyprotection against such accidents and the transceiver will beruined. DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. DO NOT connect the transceiver to a power source using reverse polarity. This connection will not only blow fuses butalso may damage the transceiver. DO NOT place unit in a non-secure place to avoid inad- vertent use by children. FCC caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority tooperate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 July 5, 2007 RE: FCC ID: AFJ297400_ATCB005134 Attention: Tri Luu I have a few comments on this Application. Please note that further comments may arise in response to answers provided to the questions below. 1. Please note that while the notification letter has been sent to the FAA, 87.147(4)(2) also shows that the FAA must return an acceptable determination before certification is granted. Please provide a copy of the determination from the FAA. 2. Please note that the rated output power reported to the FAA and the rated output power in the report and reported to the FCC (page 6 or the report) are not the same. The rated power reported to the FAA is 8W. The rated power reported to the FCC is 10W. The measured power supports the FCC rated numbers. Please explain and please correct all appropriate documentation. Please report rated power in the same units and type for all documentation. Dennis Ward mailto:[email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information may result in application termination. Correspondence should be considered part of the permanent submission and may be viewed from the Internet after a Grant of Equipment Authorization is issued.

In order for your response to be processed expeditiously, you must submit your documents through the AmericanTCB.com website. Also, please note that partial responses increase processing time and should not be submitted. Any questions about the content of this correspondence should be directed to the sender.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 August 8, 2007 TO: FCC FROM: American TCB RE: FCC ID: AFJ297400 Request for supercede of RF Exposure document and users manual Please replace IC-A210_RFExposure.pdf and IC-A210_UserMan.pdf with the new revised documents IC- A210_Userman_rev.pdf and IC-A210_RFExposure_rev.pdf. Per the applicant “..the RF safety distance specified in the user’s manual was revised from 38cm to 36 cm.” Everything else remains the same, and the compliance is not affected.
