INSTRUCTION MANUAL VHF FM REPEATER iFR3000 UHF FM REPEATER iFR4000 Downloaded by? RadioAmateur.EU i IMPORTANT READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLYbefore attempting to operate the re- peater. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUALThis manual contains important safety and operating in- structions for the IC-FR3000/FR4000 series. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVERat- tach an antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn. RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVERinstall the antenna at any place that person touch the an- tenna easily during transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn. RNEVERapply AC to the BATTERY terminals on the repeater rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the repeater. RNEVERapply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 V battery, to the BATTERY terminals on the repeater rear panel. This could cause a fi re or damage the re- peater. RNEVERlet metal, wire or other objects touch any internal part or connectors on the rear panel of the re- peater. This may result in an electric shock. RNEVERexpose the repeater to rain, snow or any liquids. AVOID using or placing the repeater in areas with tem- peratures below 30C (22F) or above +60C (+140F). Be aware that temperatures on a vehicles dashboard can exceed 80C (+176F), resulting in per- manent damage to the repeater if left there for ex- tended periods. AVOID placing the repeater in excessively dusty envi- ronments or in direct sunlight. AVOID putting anything on top of the repeater. This will obstruct heat dissipation. Place the repeater in a secure place to avoid inadver- tent use by children. BE CAREFUL! The heatsink will become hot when op- erating the repeater continuously for long periods. BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplifier is connected, set the repeaters RF output power to less than the linear amplifi ers maximum input level, otherwise, the linear amplifi er will be damaged. Use Icom microphones only (optional). Other manu- facturers microphones have different pin assignments, and connection to the IC-FR3000/FR4000 series may damage the repeater. For U.S.A. only CAUTION: Changes or modifi cations to this repeater, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this repeater under FCC regula- tions. CAUTION: This repeater is intended for use as a fi xed base station with the antenna located outdoors on the rooftop or on antenna tower. PRECAUTION WORD R WARNING CAUTION NOTE DEFINITION Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur. Equipment damage may occur. If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock.

This equipment complies with the Federal Communi- cations Commission (FCC) rules and regulations gov- erning telephone equipment and the Technical Requirements for Connection to the Telephone Net- work published by the industrys Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). On the right side of this equipment is a label that contains, among other in- formation, a product identifier in the format US:ICMOT03BIC-FR4000. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company. The applicable certifi cation jack (connector) USOC-RJ- 11C is used for this equipment. This device can only be connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) using a tele- phone cord and modular plug that is compliant with the criteria adopted by the ACTA. This equipment is de- signed for connection to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. The Ringer Equivalence Number (or REN) is used to determine the number of devices that may be con- nected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a tele- phone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed fi ve (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The REN for this product is printed on the product identifi er label CAUTION: If this equipment is deemed potentially harmful to the telephone network, the telephone com- pany will attempt to notify you in advance of discontin- uing service. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as possi- ble. If service is disconnected, you will be advised of your right to fi le a complaint with the Federal Commu- nications Commission (FCC) should you believe it nec- essary. The telephone company may make changes in its fa- cilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of this equipment. Should this occur, advance notice you be provided in order for you to make necessary modifi cations to maintain uninter- rupted service. Should you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact: ICOM America, Technical Support at 425-454-7619 for repair or warranty information. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you discon- nect the equipment until the problem is resolved. There are no user serviceable parts for a telephone cir- cuit inside of this IC-FR3000 or IC-FR4000. NOTICE: Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment con- nected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this IC-FR3000 or IC-FR4000 does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone com- pany or a qualifi ed installer. For CANADA NOTICE: This equipment meets the applicable Indus- try Canada Terminal Equipment Technical Specifica- tions. This is confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifi cations were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment. NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal equipment is 0.3. The REN assigned to each terminal equipment provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be con- nected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed fi ve.
