Icom IC-F1500 Instruction Manual page 3

DO NOT connect the transceiver to a power source using
reverse polarity. This connection will not only blow fuses but
also may damage the transceiver.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below -25°C or above +55°C or, in areas subject
to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
AVOID operating the transceiver without running the vehi-
cle's engine. The vehicle's battery will quickly run out if trans-
mitting while the vehicle's engine is 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 may damage the transceiver
surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.
