PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna, bat-
tery pack and jack cover are securely attached to the trans-
ceiver, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before
attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to dust or
water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-
cal blast ing caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT
push [PTT] when not actually intending to transmit.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –30°C or above +60°C.
The basic operations, transmission and reception of the trans-
ceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating tempera-
ture range. However, the LCD display may not be operate
correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of
operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.
DO NOT modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does
not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods of time.

DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom bat-
tery packs with Icom radios or Icom chargers. Only Icom bat-
tery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom radios
or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or coun-
terfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or
cause the battery to burst.

WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that
the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of
the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The
transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm
away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.

WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.
