R DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an
antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission.
This may result in an electrical shock or burn.
R WARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should
be observed when operating this device. If you have
any questions regarding RF exposure and safety stan-
dards please refer to the Federal Communications
Commission Offi ce of Engineering and Technology’s
report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines
for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
(OET Bulletin 65).
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with
an earphone, headphones or other audio accessories
at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against
continuous high volume operation. If you experience
a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or dis-
continue use.
R WARNING! NEVER apply AC power to the
[DC13.8V] connector on the transceiver rear panel. This
could cause a fi re or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER apply more than 16 V DC to the
[DC13.8V] connector on the transceiver rear panel or use
reverse polarity. This could cause a fi re or damage the trans-
ceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable be-
tween the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connec-
tion is made after cutting, the transceiver might be dam-
aged.
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 fi re or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the trans-
ceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric
shock or may damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! Immediately turn the transceiver power
OFF and remove the power cable if it emits an abnormal
odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or dis-
tributor 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 perfor-
mance and/or damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded
electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or al-
cohol 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 tem-
peratures 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), resulting in permanent damage to
the transceiver if left there for extended periods.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting any-
thing on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissipa-
tion.
Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent
use by children.
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 trans-
ceiver by ignition voltage spikes.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiver and
microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navi-
gation compass to prevent erroneous indications.
BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when op-
erating the transceiver continuously for long periods of time.
BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplifi er is connected, set the
transceiver’s RF output power to less than the linear ampli-
fi er’s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear amplifi er will
be damaged.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other
manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments,
and connection to the IC-7100 may damage the transceiver.
