BE CAREFUL! The transceiver rear panel will become
hot when operating continuously for long periods.
BE CAREFUL! The IC-M1V employs waterproof con-
struction, which corresponds to JIS waterproof specification,
grade 7 (1 m/30 min.). However, once the transceiver has
been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guaranteed due to
the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the water-
proof seal damaged, etc.
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.
KEEP the transceiver at least 1 m (3.3 ft) away from the
ship’s navigation compass.
KEEP the transceiver out of the reach of children.
For U.S.A. only
