Precautions - Icom IC-F51 Instruction Manual

PRECAUTIONS

RDANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Short-
ing may occur if the terminals touch metal objects such as a key,
so be careful when placing the battery packs (or the transceiver)
in bags, and so on. Carry them so that shorting cannot occur with
metal objects. Shorting may damage not only the battery pack, but
also the transceiver.
RDANGER! NEVER use and charge Icom battery packs with non-
Icom transceivers or non-Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs
are tested and approved for use with Icom transceivers or charged
with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs
or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.
RWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is
very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the
face or eyes, while transmitting.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with earphone,
headphones or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
The continuous high volume operation may cause a ringing in your
ears. If you experience the ringing, reduce the volume level or dis-
continue use.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehi-
cle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less may re-
sult in an accident.
CAUTION: DO NOT connect the transceiver to a power source other
than the BP-227AXD. Such a connection will ruin the transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver unless the flexible an-
tenna, battery pack and jack cover are securely attached. Confirm
that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attaching. Expos-
ing the inside of the transceiver to dust or water can cause serious
damage to the transceiver.
