PRECAUTIONS R WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an antenna or internal antenna connector while transmitting. This could cause an electrical shock or RF burn. R WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER install the antenna at any place that person easily touch the antenna while transmitting. This could cause an electrical shock or RF burn. R WARNING! NEVER apply AC power to the DC power receptacle on the repeater rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the repeater. R WARNING! NEVER apply more than 16 V DC to the DC power receptacle on the repeater rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the repeater. R WARNING! NEVER reverse the DC power cable polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the repeater. R WARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other objects contact the inside of the repeater, or make incorrect contact with connectors on the rear panel. This could cause an electric shock or damage the repeater. CAUTION: DO NOT use or leave the repeater in areas with temperatures below -30°C (-22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or below -25°C (-13°F) or above +55°C (+131°F) for the European versions. Be aware that temperatures can exceed 80°C (+176°F), resulting in permanent damage to the repeater if left there for extended periods. CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the repeater in excessively dusty environments. This could damage the transceiver. CAUTION: DO NOT put anything on top of the repeater. This will obstruct heat dissipation. CAUTION: DO NOT set the repeater's RF output power to more than your external linear amplifier's maximum input level, if you use one. Otherwise, a high input could damage the linear amplifier. CAUTION: DO NOT use non-Icom microphones. Other manufacturer's microphones may have different pin assignments, and could damage the connector and/or the transceiver. NEVER expose the repeater to rain, snow or any liquids. NEVER place the repeater in an insecure place to avoid inadvertent use by unauthorized persons. BE CAREFUL! The heatsink will become hot when continuously operating the repeater for long periods of time. For U.S.A. only CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this repeater, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this repeater under FCC regulations.

DO NOT touch the repeater's surface after continuously transmitting for long periods of time. The repeater's chassis radiates heat, and it will become hot to protect the power amplifier unit from overheating. Touching it may cause a burn. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 ii
