Explicit definitions
WORD
DEFINITION
R
DANGER!
Personal death, serious injury or an
explosion may occur.
R
WARNING!
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.
CAUTION
Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE
If disregarded, inconvenience only.
No risk of personal injury, fire or
electric shock.
Icom is not responsible for the destruction, damage to, or
performance of any Icom or non-Icom equipment, if the
malfunction is because of:
•
Force majeure, including, but not limited to, fires,
earthquakes, storms, floods, lightning, other natural
disasters, disturbances, riots, war, or radioactive
contamination.
•
The use of Icom transceivers with any equipment that
is not manufactured or approved by Icom.
°
Precautions
R
DANGER HIGH RF VOLTAGE! NEVER
touch an
antenna or antenna connector while transmitting. This could
cause an electrical shock or burn.
R
DANGER! NEVER
operate the transceiver near
unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive
atmosphere. This could cause an explosion and death.
R
DANGER! NEVER
place the transceiver where airbag
deployment may be obstructed during mobile operations.
R
WARNING RF EXPOSURE!
This transceiver emits
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be
observed when operating this transceiver. If you have any
questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards,
please refer to the Federal Communications Commission
Offi
ce of Engineering and Technology’s report on Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).
R
WARNING! NEVER
connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.
This may pose a fire hazard and/or result in an electric shock.
R
WARNING! NEVER
operate the transceiver during a
lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a
fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power
source and antenna before a storm.
R
WARNING! NEVER
cut the DC power cable between the
DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made
after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged.
R
WARNING! NEVER
connect the transceiver to a power
source of more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 V battery. This
could damage the transceiver.
R
WARNING! NEVER
operate or touch the transceiver with
wet hands. This could cause an electric shock or damage
the transceiver.
R
WARNING! NEVER
place the transceiver where the
vehicle’s normal operation may be hindered or where it
could cause bodily injury.
R
WARNING! NEVER
let metal, wire, or other objects
contact the transceiver inside or make incorrect contact with
connectors on the rear panel. This could cause an electric
shock or damage the transceiver.
R
WARNING! NEVER
operate the equipment if you notice
an abnormal odor, sound, or smoke. Immediately turn OFF
the power and the DC power cable. Contact your Icom
dealer or distributor for advice.
CAUTION: DO NOT
operate the transceiver while driving a
vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything
less may result in an accident.
CAUTION DO NOT
reverse the DC power cable polarity.
This could damage the transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT
expose the transceiver to rain, snow, or
any liquids. They could damage the transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT
operate the transceiver without running
the vehicle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out
when the transceiver is used while the vehicle’s engine is OFF.
CAUTION: DO NOT
install or place the transceiver in a
place without adequate ventilation or block any cooling vents
on the top, rear, sides, or bottom of the transceiver. Heat
dissipation may be reduced and damage the transceiver.
