Extreme caution should be ob- served when operating this device. If you have any questions re- garding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guide- lines for Human Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65) RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock. RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while dri- ving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less may result in an accident. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC. This will ruin the transceiver. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using re- verse polarity. This will ruin the transceiver. 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. NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury. NEVER let objects impede the operation of the cooling fan on the rear panel. DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans- mit. DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment con- taining a transmitter. During mobile operation, DO NOToperate the transceiver without running the vehicle’s engine. When the transceiver’s power is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s bat- tery will soon become exhausted. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when op- erating it continuously for long periods. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14 ̊F) or above +60°C (+140 ̊F). AVOIDthe use of chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s surfaces. USEIcom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other man- ufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver if attached.

The preliminary test was carried out to investigate the frequency of the emission that has the highest amplitude relative to the limits within normal operating modes, cable positions, and a typical system configuration. In order to find out to the maximum emission, the preliminary test and a final test were performed in accordance with the following steps. Step 1: One operation mode of the test system was setting. Step 2: Using a test receiver and a test antenna probe, the significant frequency of the emission's circumstance from the test system were investigated. These data were recorded every one of 22 divided bands in the specified frequency band (30 MHz - 1000 MHz). Step 3: Using a test receiver and a linearly polarized broadband antenna, the emission's circumstance from the test system was measured in according with ANSI C63.4-1992 Sec.8.3.1.2 (Final Radiated Emissions Tests) at each frequency which was found the higher emission referred to level vs. frequency on the list and which was measured by the resonant tuned dipole antenna. The maximum emission was found by changing the cable positions or cable manipulation under a typical system configuration. Step 4: Return to step 1, if the other operation mode was possible to be setting. Step 5: The worst result was reported arranging data of which was obtained and performed by one or plural operation modes as the final test. At the worst point that has the highest amplitude relative to the limit the repeatability of the level was reconfirmed. The photographs of the tests system setup on the worst point were taken and recorded. z-3m {-10m EUT1-4 mTest Receiver 0.8 m Ground Plane Turntable30 MHz - 300 MHz : Biconical Antenna 300 MHz - 1000 MHz : Log periodic Antenna JQA Application No. : KL80010450Regulation : CFR 47 FCC Rules Part 15 Model No.: IC-V8000Issue Date : December 19, 2001 FCC ID: AFJ IC-V8000 Page 19 of 28 Antenna-Conducted Power 30 MHz - 1000 MHz: The test was performed according to the description of ANSI C63.4-1992 Sec.12.1.5 (Antenna-Conducted Power Measurements).

The setting frequency modulation was adjusted to an 1 kHz tone at 8 kHz deviation. 3) The EUT is capable of receiving 136.000 MHz - 174.000 MHz. For each frequency in step 2), the band of the EUT was scanned all over the range by stepping up every 1 kHz. Then the squelch of the EUT was adjusted to a minimum threshold level. Whenever the scanning stopped, the detected frequency was noted. 4) The EUT was tuning to the detected frequency under signal generator was setting to the same condition as step 3). At first, The volume position of the EUT was adjusted as the audio nominal power is set to 50mW at 8 .Ω The level of the signal generator (12dB SINAD level at the injected frequency) was adjusted as the distortion meter is set to produce a 12dB SINAD measurement (audio nominal power 50mW at 8 ,Ω and 25% of distortion). 5) The EUT was tuning to the detected frequency under signal generator was setting to the same detected frequency.
