Icom ID-4100A Basic Manual page 7

R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver if it emits an
abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Immediately turn OFF the
transceiver power and remove the power cable. Contact
your Icom dealer or distributor for advice.
R WARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where normal
operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could
cause bodily injury.
CAUTION: DO NOT expose the transceiver to rain, snow or
any liquids.
CAUTION: DO NOT change the internal settings of the
transceiver. This may reduce transceiver performance and/
or damage the transceiver.
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.
CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in
areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F). Be aware that temperatures on a vehicle's
dashboard can exceed +80°C (+176°F) in direct sunlight,
resulting in permanent damage to the transceiver if left there
for long periods of time.
CAUTION: DO NOT start the vehicle engine when the
transceiver's power is ON. Ignition voltage spikes can
damage the transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT use non-Icom microphones. Other
manufacturer's microphones have different pin assignments,
and may damage the transceiver.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to
transmit.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty
environments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting
anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat
dissipation.
DO NOT place the transceiver in an insecure place to avoid
inadvertent use by unauthorized persons.
DO NOT place the transceiver where hot or cold air blows
directly onto it, during mobile operation.
DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the
vehicle's engine, during mobile operation. When the
transceiver's power is ON and your vehicle's engine is OFF,
the vehicle's battery will soon become exhausted.
NOTE: During maritime mobile operation, keep the
transceiver and microphone as far away as possible from
the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous
indications.
BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when
continuously operating the transceiver for long periods of
time.
