VHF AIR BAND TRANSCEIVERS BASIC MANUAL This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference. iA120 iA120E IMPORTANT READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-A120 and IC-A120E. The explicit definitions below apply to this instruction manual. WORDDEFINITION RWARNING! 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. i EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS About E-marking: Detailed installation notes for Icom mobile transceivers to be fitted into vehicles are available. Please contact your Icom dealer or distributor. CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations. SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES * Used for optional unit installation. Ask the technical dealer for details. Microphone Microphone hangerMicrophone hanger cable DC power cable Mounting bracketSponges* Flat washersBracket boltsSelf-tapping screws (5×16) Spring washersMounting screws (5×12) Nuts Fuses (10 A) Self-tapping screws (3×16, for Microphone hangar) BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating continuously for long periods. USE the specified microphone only. Other microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver. Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children. KEEP the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and never immerse it in the water. The transceiver meets IP54* requirements for dust-protection and splash resistance. However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dust protection and splash resistance cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, and so on. *Only when the supplied microphone is attached.

The Bluetooth word mark and logos are registered trademarks owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Icom inc. is under license. All other products or brands are registered trademarks or trademarks of their respective holders. ii PRECAUTIONS R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock. R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 31.5 V DC. This could damage the transceiver. 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 might be damaged. R WARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury. CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. DO NOT operate or place the transceiver in areas with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard. DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the vehicle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out when the transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine is OFF. DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty environments. DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. Otherwise heat dissipation will be obstructed. DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces. CAUTION: In Canada, use of 8.33 kHz Channel Spacing of this radio is strictly prohibited and shall not be used. iii NE PAS placer l'émetteur-récepteur dans un environnement excessivement poussiereux ou en plein soleil. NE PAS placer l'émetteur-récepteur contre un mur pour ne pas gêner la dispersion de la chaleur. NE PAS utiliser de solvants agressifs tels que l'essence ou l'alcool pour nettoyer le l’émetteur-récepteur, en raison des risques d'endommager la surface du l’émetteur-récepteur. ATTENTION! L’émetteur-récepteur chauffe en cas d’utilisation continue sur une longue durée. Utiliser exclusivement un microphone Icom (fourni d’origine ou en option). La repartition des broches des microphones des autres fabricants est différente et leur connexion à l’IC-A120/IC-A120E peut endommager l’émetteur-récepteur. Placer l’émetteur-récepteur hors de portée des enfants pour éviter toute utilisation inopinée. PLACEZ l'émetteur-récepteur loin d'une forte pluie et ne jamais l'immerger dans l'eau. Cet émetteur-récepteur répond aux exigences de la norme IP54* en matière de protection contre la poussière et de résistance aux éclaboussures. Toutefois, si l'émetteur-récepteur tombe par terre, la protection contre la poussière et la résistance aux éclaboussures ne peuvent être garanties, car l'appareil peut être fissuré ou le joint d'étanchéité peut être endommagé, etc. *Seulement lorsque le microphone fourni est fixé. PRÉCAUTIONS R AVERTISSEMENT! NE JAMAIS connecter l'émetteur-récepteur a une alimentation CA au risque de provoquer un incendie ou un choc electrique. R AVERTISSEMENT! NE JAMAIS brancher l’émetteur-récepteur sur une source d’alimentation de plus de 31.5 V CC. NE JAMAIS émettre lorsque le coupleur est activé (ON), alors qu'aucune antenne n'est raccordée, au risque d'endommager gravement l'émetteur-récepteur. R AVERTISSEMENT! NE JAMAIS couper le câble d’alimentation CC entre la prise CC à l’arrière de l’émetteur- récepteur et le porte fusible. L’émetteur-récepteur peut être endommagé par la suite en cas de connexion inappropriée. MISE EN GARDE: NE JAMAIS placer l’émetteur- récepteur à un emplacement où il pourrait gêner le fonctionnement normal du navire ou provoquer des blessures corporel…

This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only,” meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment. • For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with the following two conditions: 1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi. 2. The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at a distance of 53 centimeters or more between the transmitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For a small vehicle, the antenna as worst case, the antenna shall be located on the roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle in order to achieve 53 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 53 centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders. To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines: • DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio. • DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT switch. Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites. …
