COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER

FOREWORD

CAUTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely

before using the receiver.

R WARNING! NEVER operate the receiver with a head-

set or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing

experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If

you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level

or discontinue use.

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).

SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This in-

struction manual contains important operating instructions for

the IC-R3.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

Even when the receiver power is OFF, a slight current still

ﬂows in the circuits. Remove batteries from the receiver when

not using it for a long time, otherwise, the installed batteries

will become exhausted.

The explicit deﬁnitions below apply to this instruction manual.

WORD

DEFINITION

Personal injury, fire hazard or electric

shock may occur.

R WARNING

REMOVE any cables from the [DC 6V] jack after operation or

charging a battery pack.

CAUTION

Equipment damage may occur.

LCDs are produced using high-density manufacturing tech-

nology resulting in 99.98% active dots, however, up to 0.02%

of the dots may be non-active and/or continuously active. This

is normal and does not indicate LCD malfunction.

NOTE

If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk

of personal injury, fire or electric shock.

Versions of the IC-R3 which display the “CE” symbol on the serial

number seal, comply with the essential requirements of the Euro-

pean Radio and Telecommunication Terminal Directive 1999/5/EC.

For U.S.A. only

CAUTION: Changes or modiﬁcations to this device, not ex-

pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to

operate this device under FCC regulations.

* Not supplied with some versions.

Electromagnetic radiation which has frequencies of 20,000

Hz (20 kHz*) and above is called radio frequency (RF) energy

because it is useful in radio transmissions. The IC-R3 re-

ceives RF energy from 0.495 MHz* to 2450.00 MHz and con-

verts it into audio frequency (AF) energy which in turn

actuates a loudspeaker to create sound waves. AF energy is

in the range of 20 to 20,000 Hz.

* kHz is an abbreviation of kilohertz or 1000 hertz, MHz is abbrevia-

tion of megahertz or 1,000,000 hertz, where hertz is a unit of fre-

quency.

OPERATING NOTES

The IC-R3 may receive its own oscillated frequency, resulting

in no reception or only noise reception, on some frequencies.

The IC-R3 may receive interference from extremely strong

signals on different frequencies or when using an external

high-gain antenna.

ACCESSORY ATTACHMENT

◊ Antenna

Insert the supplied antenna into the an-

tenna connector and screw down the an-

tenna as shown at right.

Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean bat-

tery terminals once a week.

◊ Belt clip

Conveniently attaches to

your belt.

Keep the jack cover attached when jack

is not in use to avoid bad contacts from

dust and moisture.

Slide the belt clip into the

plastic loop on the back

of the receiver.

Commercially available antennas (BNC)

may increase receiver performance.

◊ Battery installation

q Remove the battery

cover from the receiver.

w For alkaline battery use,

attach the supplied bat-

tery spacer.

e Install 3 R6 (AA) size al-

kaline batteries or Li-Ion

battery pack (BP-206; p.

46).

• Be sure to observe the cor-

rect polarity.

• Charge Li-Ion battery pack

before use.

◊ Handstrap (not supplied from Icom)

Slide a commercially available handstrap through the loop on

the side of the receiver or belt clip as illustrated below. Facili-

tates carrying.
