PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the an-
tenna 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.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset
or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack.
CAUTION! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source
other than the BP-230N or BP-232N. Such a connection will ruin
the transceiver.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C.
DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.
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.
The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair trans
-
ceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.
