PRECAUTIONS
R DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER
tenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. This
may result in an electrical shock or burn.
R WARNING RF EXPOSURE!
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should
be observed when operating this device. If you have
any questions regarding RF exposure and safety stan-
dards 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).
R WARNING! NEVER
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.
R WARNING! NEVER
an earphone, headphones or other audio accessories
at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against
continuous high volume operation. If you experience a
ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discon-
tinue use.
R WARNING! NEVER
connector on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a
fire or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER
[DC13.8V] connector on the transceiver rear panel. This could
cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER
larity when connecting to a power source. This could cause a
fire or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER
the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is
made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.
R WARNING! NEVER
touch any internal part or connectors on the rear panel of the
transceiver. This may result in an electric shock or this could
cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER
ceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric
shock or may damage the transceiver.
R WARNING!
Immediately turn the transceiver power
OFF and remove the power cable if it emits an abnormal
odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or dis-
tributor for advice.

CAUTION: NEVER
the transceiver. This may reduce transceiver perfor-
mance and/or damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT
operate the transceiver near unshielded elec-
trical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as benzine or al-
cohol to clean the transceiver, as they will damage the
transceiver s surfaces. If the transceiver becomes dusty
'
or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
DO NOT
use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F). Be
aware that temperatures on a vehicle's dashboard can ex-
ceed +80°C (+176°F), resulting in permanent damage to the
transceiver if left there for extended periods.
DO NOT
place the transceiver in excessively dusty environ-
ments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT
place the transceiver against walls or putting any-
thing on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissipa-
tion.
Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent
use by children.
During mobile operation,
where air bag deployment may be obstructed.
During mobile operation,
where hot or cold air blows directly onto it.
During mobile operation,
without running the vehicle's engine. When the transceiver's
power is ON and your vehicle's engine is OFF, the vehicle's
battery will soon become exhausted.
Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before starting the
vehicle engine. This will avoid possible damage to the trans-
ceiver by ignition voltage spikes.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiver and
microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navi-
gation compass to prevent erroneous indications.
BE CAREFUL!
The Main unit will become hot when oper-
ating the transceiver continuously for long periods of time.
BE CAREFUL!
If a linear amplifier is connected, set the
transceiver's RF output power to less than the linear ampli-
fier's maximum input level, otherwise, the linear amplifier will
be damaged.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other
manufacturer's microphones have different pin assignments,
and connection to the IC-7100 may damage the transceiver.
