Connecting To A Battery - Icom ID-4100A Basic Manual

■ Connecting to a battery

R WARNING!
• NEVER remove the fuses from the cable connecting the
transceiver to a power source, especially a car battery.
• NEVER connect the transceiver directly to a 24 V battery.
The transceiver must be connected to a 24 V battery
through the DC-DC converter.
CAUTION:
• DO NOT use a cigarette lighter socket as a power source
when operating in a vehicle. The plug may cause voltage
drops and ignition noise may be superimposed onto
transmit or receive audio.
• DO NOT pull or tightly bend the DC power cable.
• DO NOT reverse the polarity when connecting the DC
power cable.
• Use a rubber grommet when passing the DC power cable
through a metal plate to prevent a short circuit.
• The transceiver may not receive well on some
frequencies when installed in a hybrid vehicle, or any
type of electric vehicle (fuel cell vehicle). This is because
vehicle's electric components, such as the inverter
system, generate a lot of electrical noise.
