PRECAUTIONS RWARNING NEVER apply AC to the [DC13.8V] jack on the receiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or ruin the receiver. RWARNING NEVER apply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 V battery, to the [DC13.8V] jack on the receiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or ruin the receiver. RWARNING NEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any internal part or connectors on the rear panel of the receiver. This may result in an electric shock. NEVER expose the receiver to rain, snow or any liquids. DO NOT use or place the receiver in areas with temperatures 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), resulting in permanent damage to the receiver if left there for extended periods. DO NOT place the receiver in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight. DO NOT place the receiver against walls or putting anything on top of the receiver. This will obstruct heat dissipation. Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children. During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the receiver without running the vehicle's engine. When receiver power is ON and your vehicle's engine is OFF, the vehicle's battery will soon become exhausted. Make sure the receiver power is OFF before starting the vehicle. This will avoid possible damage to the receiver by ignition voltage spikes. For U.S.A only CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. FOR CLASS B UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Versions of the IC-R75 which display the "CE" symbol on the serial number label comply with the European harmonised standard ETS300 684 (EMC product standard for Commercially Available Amateur Radio Equipment). ii
