Precautions - Icom iC-M605 Instruction Manual

PRECAUTIONS

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.
This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
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 reverse the DC power cable polarity
when connecting to a power source. This could damage the
transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable between the
DC plug at the back of the transceiver and the fuse holder. If
an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver
may be damaged.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a
lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a
fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power
source and antenna before a storm.
RWARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where normal
operation of the vessel may be hindered, or where it could
cause bodily injury.
CAUTION: KEEP the transceiver and microphone at least 1
meter away from the vessel's magnetic navigation compass.
CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in areas
with temperatures below –20°C ~ +60°C (–4ºF ~ +140ºF), or
in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as a dashboard.
CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine
or alcohol 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 transceiver rear panel will become hot
when transmitting continuously for long periods of time.
Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent
use by unauthorized persons.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver's front panel meets
IPX8 requirements and the optional HM-195/HM-229
meet IPX7 requirements for waterproof
commandmic
protection*. However, once the transceiver or microphone
has been dropped, or the waterproof seal is cracked or
damaged, waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed
because of possible damage to the case or the waterproof
seal.
* Except for the DC power connector, NMEA In/Out leads and AF
Out leads.
