UNPACKING
Carefully remove your transceiver from the packing carton and examine it for signs of shipping
damage. Should any be apparent, notify the delivering carrier or dealer immediately, stating the
full extent of the damage. It is recommended you keep the shipping cartons. In the event storage,
moving, or reshipment becomes necessary, they come in handy. Accessory hardware, cables, etc.,
are packed with the transceiver. Make sure you have not overlooked anything.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION |
1. Avoid placing Ше IC-5b51D in direct sunlight, high temperature, dusty or humid places.
2. Both sides of the unit, function also as heatsinks. The temperature there will usually become
relatively warm. Any equipment should be at least 1 inch (3cm) away from the unit so as to
provide good ventilation. Also avoid places near outlets of heaters, air conditioners etc.
3. Place the unit so that the controls and switches can easily be handled and the frequency
indication and meter can easily be read.
For mobile installation, an optional mounting bracket is available. Select the best location
that can stand the weight of the unit and that does not interfere with your driving in any way.
4. Use the Ground Lug!
POWER SUPPLY
For AC operation, use the special power supply IC-PS20. If you would like to use your car battery
or any other DC power supply, be sure that its output voltage is 12-15 Volts and the current
capacity is at least 20 Amps. The maximum power consumption of the set during transmission
runs from 16-20 Amps, so keep that in mind if the unit is installed in your automobile, and turn
it on after you have started the engine. Attention should also be paid to the condition of the
battery and electrical system.
