PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any internal
part or connectors on the rear panel of the transceiver. This may result
in an electric shock or this could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands.
This may result in an electric shock or may damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! Immediately turn OFF the transceiver power and
remove the power cable if it emits an abnormal odor, sound or
smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor for advice.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings of the transceiver. This
may reduce transceiver performance and/or damage to the transceiver.
CAUTION: NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of
the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
NEVER place the transceiver in an insecure place to avoid
inadvertent use by unauthorized persons.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting
caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
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.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with temperatures below
–10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F). Be aware that temperatures on a
vehicle's dashboard can exceed +80°C (+176°F) in direct sunlight, resulting
in permanent damage to the transceiver if left there for extended periods.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty environments or
in direct sunlight.
iii
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting anything on
top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissipation.
During mobile operation, NEVER place the transceiver where air
bag deployment may be obstructed.
During mobile operation, DO NOT place the transceiver where hot
or cold air blows directly onto it.
During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver without
running the vehicle's engine. When the transceiver's power is ON
and your vehicle's engine is OFF, the vehicle's battery will soon
become exhausted.
Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before starting the vehicle
engine. This will avoid possible damage to the transceiver by
ignition voltage spikes.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiver and
microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation
compass to prevent erroneous indications.
BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when operating the
transceiver continuously for long periods of time.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other
manufacturer's microphones have different pin assignments, and
may damage the transceiver.
Operate the transceiver that complies with your local laws and
regulations.
Depending on countries and/or regions, transceiver's output power
and/or operations on specific frequencies may be restricted to avoid
interferences with existing radio stations or services.
