CONNECTING A NON-ICOM DC POWER SUPPLY
CONNECTING A VEHICLE BATTERY
• RWARNING! NEVER connect to a battery with-
out using a DC fuse, otherwise a fi re hazard
could occur or damage to the transceiver.
• NEVER connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery.
The transceiver may not receive well on some fre-
quencies when installed in a hybrid vehicle, or any
type of electric vehicle (fuel cell vehicle). This is be-
cause vehicle's electric components, such as the
inverter system, generate a lot of electric noise.

• DO NOT use a cigarette lighter socket as a pow-
er source when operating in a vehicle. The plug
may cause voltage drops and ignition noise may
be superimposed onto transmit or receive audio.
