receive GPS signal. We recommend to use it window side.
Please avoid the areas shown in the following:
1. DO NOT use where it will block the driver’s view.
2. DO NOT use where the air bags could deploy.
3. DO NOT use it when becoming the obstacle of driving. q w e

• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated

by the U.S. Department of Defence. The Department is
responsible for accuracy and maintenance of the system.
Any changes by the Department may affect the accuracy
and function of the GPS system. r
• When the GPS receiver is activated, please do not cover
the HM-175GPS with any object. t
• The GPS receiver may not work if used in the following lo-
cations:
1. Tunnels or high-rise buildings
2. Underground parking lot
3. Under a bridge or viaduct
4. In remote forested areas
5. Under bad weather condition (rainy or cloudy day)

NOTICES 1
D Using the optional HM-175GPS 2
Noise signals from the HM-175GPS may interfere with the 3
IC-E92D’s AM radio or HF band reception. 4
In this case, set the HM-175GPS’s microphone cable as
distant to the antenna as far as possible, or turn off the HM- 5
175GPS. 6
D Data output from HM-175GPS 7
The optional HM-175GPS outputs GPS data (position data,
8
etc.) to the IC-E92D at intervals while receiving only. 9
Therefore, the transceiver is not updated GPS data while
transmitting. 10
The transceiver transmits GPS data that was received just
prior to the last transmission in the DV mode . 11

• IMPORTANT: KEEP the transceiver’s [DATA/SP/MIC] con-
nector cap attached when the speaker-microphone is not
in use. If the cover is not attached, water will get into the
transceiver. More over, the terminals (pins) will become

DO NOT operate the transceiver in a situation that will obstruct heat dissipation, especially if the transceiver is operated with
an external power supply. Heat dissipation may be affected, and it may cause a burn, warp the casing or damage the trans-

that is being transmitted on a repeater input frequency, you
can determine the tone frequency required to access the re-
peater.
