Precautions - Icom IC-F5060 SERIES Instruction Manual

PRECAUTIONS

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC out-
let. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a light-
ning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or
damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power souce
and antenna before a storm.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power
source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This
could damage the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable between the
DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made
after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.
RWARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where normal
operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could
cause bodily injury.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or
any liquids.
CAUTION: CONFIRM that all connectors and jacks are dry
and clean before attachment. Exposing them to dust or water
will result in serious damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or
in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the vehicle's
engine. The vehicle's battery will quickly run out when the
transceiver transmits while the vehicle's engine is OFF.
DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in excessively dusty
environments.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. Otherwise heat
dissipation will be obstructed.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver's surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operat-
ing continuously for long periods.
USE the specified microphone only. Other microphones have
different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.
Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent
use by unauthorized persons.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION! Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not
expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to
operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
