INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

■ Unpacking

After unpacking, immediately report any damage to
the delivering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping car-
tons.
For a description and a diagram of accessory equip-
ment included with the IC-7851, see 'Supplied acces-
sories' on page vii of this manual.

■ Selecting a location

Select a location for the transceiver that allows ade-
quate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or
vibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna ele-
ments, radios and other electromagnetic sources.
The base of the transceiver has optional angled front
feet for desktop use. If desired, place the optional feet
over the standard feet. Be sure the angle of the bottom
of the feet are such that the front of the transceiver is
angled up, and is stable.

■ Grounding

To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob-
lems, ground the transceiver through the GROUND
terminal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap
to a long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance
between the [GND] terminal and ground as short as
possible.
R WARNING! NEVER
minal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection
could cause an explosion or electric shock.

■ Attaching the rack mounting handle

Remove the two screws from each side of the front
panel and the one screw from each side of the side
panel. Attach the rack mounting handles to the sides
of the transceiver using only the supplied accessory
screws.
CAUTION: NEVER put the transceiver's rearpanel
side down after lifting up the transceiver by holding
rack mounting handle. This may scratch the surface
of the place or damage the connectors on the trans-
ceiver's rear panel.
