FCC INFORMATION
• FOR CLASS B UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radi-
ate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful inter-
ference to radio communications. However, there is no guar-
antee that interference will not occur in a particular instal-
lation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit differ-
ent from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-
cian for help.
OPERATING THEORY
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-R6 receives RF energy from 0.100 MHz* to 1309.995
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 abbrevi-
ation of megahertz or 1,000,000 hertz, where hertz is a unit of fre-
quency.
OPERATING NOTES
The IC-R6 may receive its own oscillated frequency, result-
ing in no reception or only noise reception, on some fre-
quencies.
The IC-R6 may receive interference from extremely strong
signals on different frequencies or when using an external
high-gain antenna.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device, not
expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority
to operate this device under FCC regulations.
