BASIC MANUAL

■

IN A BOWL OF FRESH WATER after 

exposure to saltwater, and dry it before 

operating. Otherwise, the receiver’s keys, 

switches, and controllers may become 

unusable, due to salt crystallization, and/or 

the charging terminals of the battery pack 

may corrode.

NOTE: If the receiver’s waterproof 

protection appears defective, carefully 

clean it with a soft, damp (fresh water) 

cloth, then dry it before operating.

The receiver may lose its waterproof 

protection if the case, jack cap, or 

connector cover is cracked or broken, or 

the receiver has been dropped.

Contact your Icom distributor or your 

dealer for advice.

■

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-R30 receives RF 

energy from 0.100 MHz* to 3304.99999 

MHz and converts 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 abbreviation of megahertz 

or 1,000,000 hertz, where hertz is a unit 

of frequency.

■

The IC-R30 may receive its own oscillated 

frequency, resulting in no reception or only 

noise reception, on some frequencies.

The IC-R30 may receive interference 

from extremely strong signals on different 

frequencies or when using an external 

high-gain antenna.
