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 air bag 

deployment may be obstructed during mobile operations.

 

R

WARNING! NEVER

 connect the transceiver to an AC 

outlet.Thismayposeafirehazardorresultinanelectric

shock.

 

R

WARNING! NEVER

 operate the transceiver during a 

lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause 

afireordamagethetransceiver.Alwaysdisconnectthe

power source and antenna before a storm.

 

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

or any liquids. They could damage the transceiver and 

microphone.

CAUTION: DO NOT

usethenon-specifiedmicrophone.

Other microphones have different pin assignments and 

may damage the transceiver.

CAUTION: DO NOT

 use 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.

CAUTION: DO NOT

 place or leave the transceiver in 

excessively dusty environments. This could damage the 

transceiver.

CAUTION: DO NOT

useharshsolventssuchasBenzine

or alcohol when cleaning. This could damage the 

equipment surfaces. If the surface becomes dusty or dirty, 

wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.

CAUTION: DO NOT

 reverse the DC power cable polarity. 

This could damage the transceiver.

NEVER

 place the transceiver in an insecure place to avoid 

inadvertentusebyunauthorizedpersons.

NEVER

 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.

BE CAREFUL!

 The transceiver may become hot after 

continuously transmitting for long periods of time.

ABOUT GPS/GLONASS RECEIVER

DO NOT

 install the GPS antenna near the transceiver or 

the antenna.

A GPS or GLONASS receiver may not work if the 

transceiver transmits or receives in the frequency ranges 

as shown below.

ABOUT CE AND DOC

Hereby, Icom Inc. declares that the versions 

of IC-F5330D and IC-F6330D which have 

the “CE” symbol on the product, comply with 

the essential requirements of the Radio 

Equipment Directive, 2014/53/EU, and the 

restrictionoftheuseofcertainhazardoussubstancesin

electrical and electronic equipment Directive, 2011/65/EU. 

The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available 

at the following Internet address:

DISPOSAL

The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your 

product, literature, or packaging reminds you 

that in the European Union, all electrical and 

electronic products, batteries, and 

accumulators (rechargeable batteries) must 

be taken to designated collection locations at 

the end of their working life. Do not dispose 

of these products as unsorted municipal waste. Dispose of 

them according to the laws in your area.

About E-marking:

 Detailed installation notes for 

Icommobiletransceiverstobefittedintovehiclesare

available. Please contact your Icom dealer or distributor.

To ensure that your exposure to RF 

electromagnetic energy is within the FCC 

and IC 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 and IC RF exposure limits. 

A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this 

radiobythemanufactureroranantennaspecifically

authorizedbythemanufacturerforusewiththisradio.

 

 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 and IC RF exposure 

compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is 

transmitting when the status indicator lights red. 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.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

Your Icom radio generates RF 

electromagnetic energy during transmit 

mode. This radio is designed for and 

classifiedas“OccupationalUseOnly,”

meaning it must be used only during the 

course of employment by individuals 

awareofthehazards,andthewaysto

minimizesuchhazards.Thisradiois

NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an 

uncontrolled environment.

 For compliance with FCC and IC RF Exposure 

Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall 

comply with the following three conditions:

1.  The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.

2.   IC-F5330D:

 The antenna is required to be located outside of a 

vehicle and kept at a distance of 57 centimeters 

 (23 inches) or more between the transmitting antenna 

of this device and any persons during operation. For 

small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be 

located on the roof top at any place on the center line 

along the vehicle in order to achieve 57 centimeters 

(23 inches) separation distance. In order to ensure this 

distance is met, the installation of the antenna must 

be mounted at least 57 centimeters (23 inches) away 

from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect 

against exposure to bystanders.

2. IC-F6330D: 

 The antenna is required to be located outside of a 

vehicle and kept at a distance of 41 centimeters 

(17 inches) or more between the transmitting antenna 

of this device and any persons during operation. For 

small vehicle as worst case, the antenna shall be 

located on the roof top at any place on the center line 

along the vehicle in order to achieve 41 centimeters 

(17 inches) separation distance. In order to ensure this 

distance is met, the installation of the antenna must 

be mounted at least 41 centimeters (17 inches) away 

from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect 

against exposure to bystanders.

3.   IC-F5330D: 

 Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are 

at least the recommended minimum distance of 

136 centimeters (54 inches) away from the properly 

installed antenna. This separation distance will 

ensurethatthereissufficientdistancefromaproperly

installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF 

exposure requirements in the applicable RF exposure 

compliance standards.

3.   IC-F6330D: 

 Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are 

at least the recommended minimum distance of 

117 centimeters (47 inches) away from the properly 

installed antenna. This separation distance will 

ensurethatthereissufficientdistancefromaproperly

installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF 

exposure requirements in the applicable RF exposure 

compliance standards.

FCC INFORMATION
