MULTIBAND FM TRANSCEIVER

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

WARNING: MODIFICATION OF THIS DEVICE TO RECEIVE CEL-

LULAR RADIO TELEPHONE SERVICE SIGNALS IS PROHIBITED

UNDER FCC RULES AND FEDERAL LAW.

Thank you for purchasing this Icom product. The IC-E90

MULTI BAND TRANSCEIVER is designed and built with

Icom’s superior technology and craftsmanship. With proper

care, this product should provide you with years of trouble-

free operation.

The IC-E90 is a tri-band, 50 MHz, 144 MHz, 430 MHz FM

transceiver that offers a wide-band AM, FM and WFM scan-

ning receiver*. Not only you can hear your favorite TV pro-

grams with the pre-programmed TV memories*, but you can

also listen to short wave, AM and FM broadcast radio

stations, aircraft, various amateur bands and more.

New DMS(Dynamic Memory Scan) bank scanning provides

555 alphanumeric memory channels, including 50 band

edges, with a maximum of 18 banks or 100 channels per

bank. You can pick and choose any desired channel for

scanning from the 500 memories.

The supplied BP-217

LITHIUM

ION BATTERY PACK

provides full

5 W of output. Along with the energy conserving settings, the

BP-217 provides up to 5 to 6 hours of operating time. The

newly designed antenna also provides stable signal strength.

We want to thank you for making your IC-E90 your radio of

choice, and hope you agree with Icom’s philosophy of “tech-

nology ﬁrst.” Many hours of research and development went

into the design of your IC-E90.

RRWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits

Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be

observed when operating this device. If you have any ques-

tions regarding RF exposure and safety standards please

refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of

Engineering and Technology’s report on Evaluating

Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio

Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65)

RRWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the

antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the

body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The

transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 1 to 2 in (2

to 5 cm) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.

RRWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a

headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.

Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume oper-

ation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the vol-

ume level or discontinue use.

RRDAMAGE WILL BE OCCUR IF THESE LIMITS

ARE EXCEEDED, when charging the IC-E90 with the

BP-217 battery pack from the external DC power jack on the

radio, the DC input voltage must between 10.5 to 11.5 V,

except when using optional CP-19R Cigarette Lighter cable.

NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet . Such a

connection will damage the transceiver.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is

DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will

be protected by this fuse, but higher fuse values will not give

protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be

ruined.

DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical

blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or

in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above

+60°C (+140°F).

RF output power is automatically reduced to 0.5 W (Low) in

cold environments (below 0°C) while operating with the BP-217

Li-Ion battery pack, to protect the battery pack. Keep the bat-

tery pack warm, then select high power again. (p. 28)

The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair

transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.

Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still

ﬂows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from

the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise,

the battery pack or installed batteries will become exhausted.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

■Installing the battery pack

qOpen the latch. Then, attach the BP-217 Li-Ion battery

pack or optional BP-216 battery case.

•Be sure to observe the correct direction.

•Charge Li-Ion battery pack before use.

wLock the latch.

NOTE: The battery pack is provided uncharged. BE SURE to

charge the battery before using it with the transceiver.

DInstalling the alkaline batteries

sure to use this 50 MHz band adapter during the operation

below 50 MHz band. You can operate the whole band with

this adapter.

CAUTION!

TRANSMITTING WITHOUT AN ANTENNA MAY DAMAGE

THE TRANSCEIVER.

NEVER HOLD the anten-

na when carrying the trans-

ceiver.

KEEP the jack covers at-

tached when the jack is not

in use, to avoid bad con-

tacts from dust and mois-

ture.

NOTE:

Commercially available antennas may increase transceiver

performance. An optional AD-92SMA ANTENNA CONNECTOR

ADAPTER is available to connect an external antenna with a

BNC connector.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

■Charging the Li-Ion battery pack

DCharging with the wall charger

qPush and hold [PWR] to turn the transceiver power OFF.

wInsert the charger plug into the DC power jack of the trans-

ceiver.

ePlug the charger into an AC wall outlet.

rCharging starts and the battery indicator “ ” on the dis-

play blinks.

tIt takes approximately 15 hours to charge an empty BP-

217 Li-Ion battery pack.

yUnplug the charger from the AC wall outlet when charging

is completed.

DCharging with the CP-19R Cigarette Lighter

cable (option)

qInsert the cigarette lighter adapter cable into the DC power

jack of the transceiver.

wConnect the CP-19R cigarette lighter adapter cable to the

cigarette lighter socket.

eCharging starts and the battery indicator on the display

blinks.

NOTE:

•The BP-217 can be charged while you operating the transceiver.

(p. 5).

•Charging will be suspended during transmitting of the transceiver.

•“CHG_F” appears when the charging is completed with the power

turned OFF.

•NEVER connect the cigarette lighter socket or external regulated

DC power supply directly to the transceiver. Such a connection will

damage the transceiver.

•Remove CP-19R from the transceiver when not using it. Otherwise,

the vehicle battery will become exhausted.

■Rapid charging

The optional BC-139 provides rapid charging of the battery

pack.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn the

transceiver OFF while charging.

•Charging period: 2.5 hours (w/BP-217)

■External power operation

An optional CP-19R cigarette lighter cable can be used for

external power operation from cigarette lighter socket.

•External power supply range is between 5.5–11.0 V DC.

NEVER connect over 11.5 V DC directly into the DC

power jack of the transceiver. DAMAGE WILL OCCUR

IF THESE LIMITS ARE EXCEEDED.

•BE SURE to use the CP-19R when connecting a regu-

lated 12 V DC power supply.

•The maximum output power is 5.0 W regardless of the

power supply voltage.
