In Case Of Emergency - Icom IC-M1EURO V Instruction Manual

BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver rear panel will become
hot when operating continuously for long periods.
BE CAREFUL!
The IC-M1EURO V employs waterproof
construction, which corresponds to JIS waterproof specifica-
tion, grade 7 (1 m/30 min.). However, once the transceiver
has been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guaranteed due
to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the water-
proof seal damaged, etc.
MAKE SURE
the flexible antenna and battery pack are
securely attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna and
battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside
of the transceiver to water will result in serious damage to the
transceiver.
KEEP
the transceiver at least 0.9 m away from the ship's
navigation compass.
KEEP
the transceiver out of the reach of children.
