Precautions - Icom GM600 Basic 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 an external DC
power supply directly. The transceiver should be connected to the
DC power supply through the PS-310 that is sold by the set with this
transceiver. Be sure to not connect with reverse polarity.
PS-310's version Input voltage
#01 21.6 ~ 31.2 V DC
#02 10.8 ~ 15.6 V DC
RWARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC
plug at the back of the transceiver and 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 souce and antenna before
a storm.
CAUTION: NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of
the vessel may be hindered, or where it could cause bodily injury.
KEEP the transceiver and microphone at least 1 m away from the
vessel's magnetic navigation compass.
DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in areas with temperatures
below –15°C or above +55°C, or in areas subject to direct sunlight,
such as a dashboard.
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
operating continuously for long periods of time.
Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by
children.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver's front panel meets IPX7*
requirements for waterproof protection. However, once the front
panel 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.
*The connectors on the rear panel do not meet IPX7.
If the front panel is exposed to saltwater, BE SURE TO CLEAN
IT THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH WATER when the front panel's
waterproof protection is effective. Otherwise, the keys and switch
may become inoperable due to salt crystallization.
Icom is not responsible for the destruction or damage to the Icom
transceiver, if the malfunction is because of:
• Force majeure, including, but not limited to, fires, earthquakes,
storms, floods, lightnings, or other natural disasters,
disturbances, riots, war, or radioactive contamination.
• The use of Icom transceiver with any equipment that is not
manufactured or approved by Icom.
