Important; Precautions; Explicit Definitions - Icom IC-M710 Instruction Manual

IMPORTANT

READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY
before attempting to operate the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL—This instruc-
tion manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for the IC-M710.

PRECAUTIONS

RWARNING!
NEVER connect the transceiver di-
rectly to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or
result in an electric shock.
RWARNING!
NEVER mount the transceiver over-
head. The weight of the transceiver is approximately
7.8 kg. (17.4 lb), but its apparent weight will increase
several fold due to wave shocks and vibration. The
transceiver must be mounted on a flat hard surface
only.
NEVER connect a power source of more than 16 V
DC, such as a 24 volt battery. This connection will ruin
the transceiver.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal opera-
tion of the ship or vehicle may be hindered or where it
could cause bodily injury.
NEVER allow children to play with equipment contain-
ing a radio transmitter.
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any
liquids.
NEVER install the IC-M710 into a positive-grounding
ship. Such a connection might blow fuses, and is not
usable.
DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzene or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the trans-
ceiver's surfaces.

shock may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
CAUTION
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
NOTE
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
In maritime mobile operation, KEEP the transceiver
and microphone as far away as possible (at least 1 m)
from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent er-
roneous indications.
USE an Icom microphone and/or handset only (sup-
plied or optional). Other brands may have different pin
assignments and may damage the transceiver.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with
temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F).
DO NOT connect the transceiver to a power source
using reverse polarity. This connection will not only
blow fuses but may also damage the transceiver.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty en-
vironments, or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls, or putting
anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct
heat dissipation.
