PRECAUTIONS  
DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the ve-  
hicle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if the  
transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine OFF.  
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC  
outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.  
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a  
power source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity.  
This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.  
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. This will ob-  
struct heat dissipation.  
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol  
RWARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable be-  
tween the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection  
is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged.  
when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces.  
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when  
operating continuously for long periods.  
CAUTION: NEVER place the transceiver where normal  
operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could  
cause bodily injury.  
KEEP the transceiver away from heavy rain, and never im-  
merse it in the water.  
When the supplied/optional microphone*, the front/rear  
plate(s) and the speaker jack cover of the controller are at-  
tached, the main unit and the controller meet IP54 require-  
ments for dust-protection and splash resistance.  
However, once these items have been dropped, dust-protec-  
tion and splash resistance cannot be guaranteed because of  
possible damage to these cases or the waterproof seal.  
* The microphone is not dust-protection and splash resistance.  
CAUTION: NEVER allow children to touch the trans-  
ceiver.  
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain,  
snow or any liquids. The transceiver may be damaged.  
USE the specified microphone only. Other microphones have  
different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.  
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-  
peratures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or  
in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.  
For U.S.A. only  
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver,  
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your author-  
ity to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.  
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-  
ronments.

n Turning power ON  
n Channel selection  
When you use the transceiver for the first time, or after the  
transceiver has been left unused for a long time, make  
sure to check the date and time indication after turning the  
power ON. If the time and date are not correct, reset them.  
(p. 9)  
Several types of channel selections are available. Methods  
may differ according to your system set up.  
NON-ZONE TYPE:  
To select the desired operating channel:  
• Push [CH Up] or [CH Down].  
• Push one of [MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4].  
q Push [ ] to turn the power ON.  
w If the transceiver is programmed for a start up password,  
input the digit codes as directed by your dealer.  
• 10-keypad can be used for password input.  
ZONE TYPE:  
To select the desired zone:  
• The keys as below can be used for password input:  
The transceiver detects numbers in the same block as identical.  
Therefore “01234” and “56789” are the same.  
• Push [Zone], then push [CH Up] or [CH Down].  
AUTOMATIC SCAN TYPE:  
Channel setting is not necessary for this type. When turn-  
ing power ON, the transceiver automatically starts scanning.  
Scanning stops when receiving a call.

n Antenna  
A key element in the performance of any communication sys-  
tem is an antenna. Contact your dealer about antennas and  
the best places to mount them.  
n Cleaning  
If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a  
soft, dry cloth.  
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or  
alcohol, as they may damage the transceiver sur-  
faces.  
n Fuse installation  
Fuses should be installed in the fuse holder of the black and  
red cables, respectively.  
If a fuse blows or the transceiver stops functioning, track  
down the source of the problem, have it repaired, and replace  
the damaged fuse with a new rated one.  
Fuse rating: 30 A

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION  
5
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic en-  
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromag-  
ergy during transmit mode.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 Popula-  
tion” in an uncontrolled environment.  
netic energy is within the FCC allowable limits  
for occupational use, always adhere to the fol-  
lowing guidelines:  
CAUTION  
WARNING  
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” lights red.You can cause the  
radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.  
• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Exposure Re-  
quirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with  
the following two conditions:  
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.  
2. IC-F9511HT:  
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept  
at a distance of 66.2 centimeters 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 centre line along the vehicle in order to achieve  
66.2 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this dis-  
tance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at  
least 66.2 centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in  
order to protect against exposure to bystanders.  
3. Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the  
recommended minimum distance of 148 centimeters away from  
the properly installed antenna. This separation distance will en-  
sure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed  
externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure require-  
ments in the applicable RF exposure compliance standards.  
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.
