Trademarks - Icom IC-718 Basic Manual

R WARNING! 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.
R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the
transceiver with wet hands. This could cause an
electric shock or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the equipment if
you notice an abnormal odor, sound, or smoke.
Immediately turn OFF the power and/or remove
the DC power cable. Contact your Icom dealer or
distributor for advice.
R WARNING! 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.
R WARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where
the vehicle's normal operation may be hindered or
where it could cause bodily injury.
R WARNING! NEVER put the transceiver in an
unstable place where the transceiver may suddenly
move or fall. This could cause an injury or damage the
transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver while
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full
attention—anything less may result in an accident.
CAUTION: DO NOT expose the transceiver to
rain, snow or any liquids. They could damage the
transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT change the internal settings
of the transceiver. This may reduce transceiver
performance and/or damage to the transceiver. The
transceiver warranty does not cover any problems
caused by unauthorized internal adjustments.
CAUTION: 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.
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 leave the transceiver in areas
with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F), or in areas subject to direct sunlight,
such as the dashboard.
CAUTION: DO NOT place the transceiver in
excessively dusty environments. This could damage
the transceiver.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver may become hot after
continuously transmitting for long periods of time.
CAUTION: DO NOT set the transceiver's RF output
power to more than a connected linear amplifier's
maximum input level. Otherwise, the linear amplifier
will be damaged.
CAUTION: DO NOT use non-Icom microphones.
Other microphones have different pin assignments,
and may damage the transceiver.
NEVER place the transceiver in an insecure place to
avoid inadvertent use by unauthorized persons.
During mobile operation, NEVER place the transceiver
where hot or cold air blows directly onto it.
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: DO NOT start the vehicle engine when the
transceiver's power is ON. Ignition voltage spikes can
damage the transceiver.
NOTE: During maritime mobile operations, keep the
transceiver and microphone as far away as possible
from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent
erroneous indications.
