CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings of the
transceiver. This may reduce transceiver performance and/or
damage to the transceiver.
CAUTION: NEVER place the transceiver where normal
operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could
cause bodily injury.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical
blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-
mit.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol 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) in direct sunlight, resulting in permanent dam-
age to the transceiver if left there for extended periods.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty environ-
ments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting anything
on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissipation.
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.
BECAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when op-
erating the transceiver continuously for long periods of time.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other
manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments,
and may damage the transceiver.
