PRECAUTIONS
Lt
WARNING!
NEVER
connect the transceiver
to
an
AC outlet directly. This may pose a fire hazard
or
result
in
an electric shock.
Lt
WARNING!
NEVER
mount the transceiver
overhead. The weight of the transceiver is approxi-
mately 8
kg,
but its apparent weight will increase
several fold due to wave shocks or vibration. The
transceiver must
be
mounted
on
a flat hard surface
only.
NEVER
connect a power source of more than 16 V
DC
such as a 24 V battery. This connection will ruin
the transceiver.
NEVER
place the transceiver where normal opera-
tion of the ship or
vehicle may
be
hindered or where it
could cause bodily injury.
NEVER
allow children to touch the transceiver.
NEVER
expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any
liquids.
There are two types of grounding systems available
for the IC-M71 0 - Negative Ground and Floating
Ground -
NEVER
install the negative ground type
to a plus-grounding ship.
Such a connection might
blow fuses and is not usable.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
The explicit definitions described below apply to this
instruction
manual.
WORD DEFINITION
Lt.
WARNING
Personal
injury,
fire
hazard
or
electric
shock
may
occur.
CAUTION
Equipment
damage
may
occur.
If
disregarded,
inconvenience
only.
No
NOTE
risk
of
personal
injury,
fire
or
electric
shock
.
NOTE: The IC-M710 GMDSS version has a high-sta-
bility crystal oscillator unit. This unit draws a slight cur-
rent even when power to the transceiver is
OFF.
To
prevent battery exhaustion when docking your vessel
for extended periods, unplug the
DC
cable from the
DC
power receptacle.
DO NOT
use chemical agents such as benzene or
alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the
transceiver surfaces.
In
maritime mobile operation, KEEP the transceiver
and microphone
as far away as possible (at least 1
m)
from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent
erroneous indications.
USE
an
lcom microphone and/or handset only
(supplied
or optional). Other brands may have differ-
ent pin assignments and may damage the trans-
ceiver.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver
in
areas with
temperatures
below
-20
oc
(
-4
•F) or above +60
°C
(+140.F).
AVOID
connecting the transceiver to a power source
using reverse
polarity. This connection will not only
blow
fuses but may also damage the transceiver.
AVOID placing the transceiver
in
excessively dusty
environments
or
in
direct sunlight.
AVOID placing
the transceiver against walls or putt-
ing anything on top of the transceiver. This
will
obstruct heat dissipation.
