Explicit definitions

WORD	DEFINITION
	Personal death, serious injury or an explosion may occur.
	Personal injury, fi re hazard or electric shock may occur.
	Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE	If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fi re or electric shock.

Supplied accessories

NOTE: Some accessories may not be supplied, or the shape may diff er, depending on the transceiver version.

Precautions

HIGH RF VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an antenna or antenna connector while transmitting. This could cause an electrical shock or burn.

NEVER operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. This could cause an explosion and death.

NEVER place the transceiver where airbag deployment may be obstructed during mobile operations.

RF EXPOSURE! This transceiver emits Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be observed when operating this transceiver. If you have any questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards, please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Offi ce of Engineering and Technology's report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).

NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.
This may pose a fire hazard and/or result in an electric shock.

NEVER operate the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power source and antenna before a storm.

NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 V battery. This could damage the transceiver.

NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This could cause an electric shock or damage the transceiver.

NEVER place the transceiver where the vehicle's normal operation may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.

NEVER let metal, wire, or other objects contact the transceiver inside or make incorrect contact with connectors on the rear panel. This could cause an electric shock or damage the transceiver.

NEVER operate the equipment if you notice an abnormal odor, sound, or smoke. Immediately turn OFF the power and the DC power cable. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor for advice.

DO NOT operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less may result in an accident.

DO NOT reverse the DC power cable polarity.
This could damage the transceiver.

DO NOT expose the transceiver to rain, snow, or any liquids. They could damage the transceiver.

DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the vehicle's engine. The vehicle's battery will quickly run out when the transceiver is used while the vehicle's engine is OFF.

DO NOT install or place the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation or block any cooling vents on the top, rear, sides, or bottom of the transceiver. Heat dissipation may be reduced and damage the transceiver.

DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning. This could damage the equipment surfaces. If the surface becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.

DO NOT use or leave the transceiver in areas with temperatures below −10°C or above +60°C, or in areas exposed to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.

DO NOT use or leave the transceiver in excessively dusty environments. This could damage the transceiver.

DO NOT use the non-specified microphone. Other microphones have diff erent pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.

NEVER place the transceiver in an insecure place to avoid inadvertent use by unauthorized persons.

DO NOT push PTT unless you actually intend to transmit.

DO NOT place the transceiver where hot or cold air blows directly onto it, during mobile operation.

NOTE: During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiver and microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indications.
