FOREWORD

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completelybefore using the receiver.

SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL This in-struction manual contains important operating instructions forthe IC-R3.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONSThe explicit denitions below apply to this instruction manual.

CAUTIONS

R WARNING! NEVER operate the receiver with a head-set or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearingexperts advise against continuous high volume operation. Ifyou experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volumelevel or discontinue use.

AVOID using or placing the receiver in direct sunlight or inareas with temperatures below 10C (+14F) or above+60C (+140F).

Even when the receiver power is OFF, a slight current stillows in the circuits. Remove batteries from the receiver whennot using it for a long time, otherwise, the installed batterieswill become exhausted.

REMOVE any cables from the [DC 6V] jack after operation orcharging a battery pack.

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. Thisis normal and does not indicate LCD malfunction.

For U.S.A. only CAUTION: Changes or modications to this device, not ex-pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority tooperate this device under FCC regulations.

SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES

Accessories included with the receiver: Qty.q Antenna (FA-B03RE) ...................................................... 1w Belt clip ........................................................................... 1e Battery spacer ................................................................ 1r Battery pack* (BP-206) ................................................... 1t Wall charger* (BC-136A/D) ............................................ 1

*Not supplied with some versions.

OPERATING THEORY

Electromagnetic radiation which has frequencies of 20,000Hz (20 kHz*) and above is called radio frequency (RF) energybecause 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 turnactuates a loudspeaker to create sound waves. AF energy isin 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, resultingin no reception or only noise reception, on some frequencies.

The IC-R3 may receive interference from extremely strongsignals on different frequencies or when using an externalhigh-gain antenna.
