■ RECOMMENDATION

CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER AND
MICROPHONE THOROUGHLY WITH
FRESH WATER after exposure to
saltwater, and dry it before operating.
Otherwise, the transceiver's keys, switches
and controllers may become unusable, due
to salt crystallization.
NOTE: If the transceiver's waterproof
protection appears defective, carefully
clean it with a soft, wet (fresh water) cloth,
then, dry it before operating.
The transceiver may lose its waterproof
protection if the case or microphone
is cracked or broken, the microphone
connector is not screwed in completely, or
the transceiver has been dropped.
Contact your Icom distributor or your
dealer for advice.
