FOREWORD
Thank you for purchasing the IC-W2A/E DUAL BAND FM
TRANSCEIVER. A state-of-the-art transceiver, the IC-W2A/E
has the following features:
* Simultaneous receiving and displaying of the 144 MHz and
430 (440) MHz bands.
* Unbelievably small — just fits in the palm of your hand.
CAUTIONS
NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a pow-
er source of more than 16 VDC. These connections will ruin
the transceiver.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using
reverse polarity. This connection will damage the transceiver.
NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver.
AVOID placing the transceiver in direct sunlight.
OPERATING NOTES
BE CAREFUL! When transmitting for a long time with
high output power, the rear panel may become hot.
When using the transceiver with a small-capacity battery pack
such as BP-81 or BP-82, we recommend operating with low
output power.
Battery power will be discharged quickly if the
transceiver is operated continuously using high output power.
