Precautions - Icom iM423 Instruction Manual

PRECAUTIONS

RWARNING! NEVER
connect the transceiver to an AC
outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER
connect the transceiver to a pow-
er source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity. This
will ruin the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER
cut the DC power cable between
the DC plug at the back of the transceiver and fuse holder. If
an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver
may be damaged.
CAUTION: NEVER
place the transceiver where normal
operation of the vessel may be hindered or where it could
cause bodily injury.
KEEP
the transceiver and microphone at least 1 m away
from the vessel's magnetic navigation compass.
DO NOT
use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –20°C (–4°F) or above +60°C (+140°F) or, in
areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
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
disassemble or modify the transceiver for any rea-
son.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver rear panel will become
hot when operating continuously for long periods of time.
Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent
use by children.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver and the optional HM-195
commandmic IV ™ meet IPX7 requirements for waterproof
protection. However, once the transceiver has been dropped,
waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because of pos-
sible damage to the transceiver's case or the waterproof
seal.
