CAUTIONS
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
RWARNING! 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
(2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is verti-
cal.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source other
than the BP-223 or BP-224. Such a connection will ruin the
transceiver.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F).
KEEP the transceiver out of the reach of children.
KEEP the transceiver at least 0.9 meter (3.0 ft) away from
your vessel’s magnetic navigation compass.
iv
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver’s right-side panel will
become hot when operating continuously for long periods.
BE CAREFUL! The IC-M2A employs waterproof con-
struction, which corresponds to JIS waterproof specification,
grade 7 (1 m; 3 ft depth for 30 min.). However, once the trans-
ceiver has been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guaran-
teed due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or
the waterproof 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.
