D Notes for marking the mounting hole
The transceiver can be mounted securely in the supplied
mounting bracket.
Remember to allow adequate space for installation of
cables and connectors.
When installing two or more transceivers in a stack, the
mounting bracket should be 1.3 mm
(0.05″) apart.
The mounting bracket has 0.6 mm
(0.024″) dimples in the
top, bottom, and both sides for proper spacing.
Mark and cut the mounting holes.
To support the mounting bracket, the rear mounting bosses
should be attached to the airframe.

D Transceiver installation
1. Remove the front panel from the transceiver’s main unit.
- Use a
3
⁄32″ allen driver.
- Carefully disconnect the cable from the front panel.
(Fig. 1)
2. Insert a
3
⁄32″ allen driver into the lock screw and rotate
the driver counterclockwise until the metal catch
touches the back of the lock chassis. (Fig. 2)
Main unit front view
3. Insert the main unit (transceiver) into the mounting
bracket. (Fig. 3)
4. Turn the lock screw clockwise until the main unit
(transceiver) is fixed to the bracket. (Fig. 4)
5. Connect the cable. (Fig. 5)
6. Attach the front panel and tighten the allen screws.
(Fig. 5)
CAUTION: Make sure that the cable between the
transceiver and front panel is securely connected. The
transceiver may not function properly when loose or when
a wrong connection is made.
Improper cable connection can cause damage and result
in a non-warranty repair.
D Transceiver removal
The transceiver can be easily removed from the mounting
bracket, if required.
1. Remove the front panel from the transceiver's main unit.
- Use a
3
⁄32″ allen driver.
- Carefully disconnect the cable from the front panel.
2. Insert a
3
⁄32″ allen driver into the lock screw and rotate
the driver counterclockwise until the metal catch
touches the back of the lock chassis.
3. Slowly pull the transceiver out from the mounting bracket.
4. Connect the cable to the front panel.
5. Attach the front panel and tighten the allen screws.

D Non-TSO function list
These functions operate per the system requirements for this transceiver and do not interfere with the TSO MOPS compliance.
Function Description
Weather Channels
Reception
The radio provides reception of the weather channels
which Icom America evaluated as part of the RTCA/
DO-160G and RTCA/DO-178C test/verication process
and additional system level tests were also performed.
Two Station Intercom
The radio provides a user interface to select two
station intercom as an option to the pilot. This function
was tested as part of the RTCA/DO-160G and the
RTCA/DO-178C test/verication process and additional
system level tests were also performed.
Check the following points after transceiver installation.
- Polarity of the power supply.
- NO interference caused to other equipment.
- NO noise or interference from other equipment.
- VSWR is less than 2.5:1.
- Communication capability on both the highest and lowest
communication frequencies, if possible.
