CAUTION: NEVER use harsh solvents such as
Benzine or alcohol when cleaning. This could damage
the transceiver surfaces. If the surface becomes dusty
or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT leave the transceiver in areas
with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F) for mobile operations.
CAUTION: DO NOT place the transceiver in
excessively dusty environments. This could damage
the transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT place the transceiver against
walls or putting anything on top of the transceiver.
This may overheat the transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT set the transceiver's RF output
power to more than a connected linear amplifier's
maximum input level. Otherwise, the linear amplifier
will be damaged.
CAUTION: DO NOT use non-Icom microphones.
Other microphones have different pin assignments,
and may damage the transceiver.
DO NOT push PTT unless you actually intend to
transmit.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver may become hot after
continuously transmitting for long periods of time.
NEVER leave the transceiver in an insecure place to
avoid use by unauthorized persons.
Turn OFF the transceiver's power and disconnect
the DC power cable when you will not use the
transceiver for long period of time.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight
current still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery
pack from the transceiver when not using it for a
long time. Otherwise, the attached battery pack will
become exhausted, and will need to be recharged or
replaced.
The LCD display may have cosmetic imperfections
that appear as small dark or light spots. This is not a
malfunction or defect, but a normal characteristic of
LCD displays.
