DO NOT
use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below -30°C or above +60°C or, in areas subject
to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
AVOID

engine. The vehicle's battery will quickly run out if the trans-
ceiver is in transmission while the vehicle's engine OFF.
AVOID
placing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
AVOID
placing the transceiver against walls. This will ob-
struct heat dissipation.
AVOID
the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver sur-
faces.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not ex-
pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate
