CAUTION
NOTE
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting
at-
anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct
heat dissipation.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with
temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above +55°C
(+131°F).
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.
BE CAREFUL! The heatsink will become hot when op-
erating the transceiver continuously for long periods.
During maritime mobile operation, KEEP the trans-
ceiver and microphone as far away as possible (at
least 1 m; 3 ft) from the magnetic navigation compass
to prevent erroneous indications.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied). Other manu-
facturer's microphones have different pin assignments,
and connection to the IC-M802 may damage the trans-
ceiver.
Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent
use by children.
