PRECAUTIONS RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits RadioFrequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be observed when operating this device. If you have any questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards, please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology's report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65). RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock. RWARNING! 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. RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention-anything less may result in an accident. RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver. RWARNING! NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage the transceiver. RWARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where nor- mal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury. RWARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any internal part of the transceiver. This may result in an electric shock. CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. The transceiver may be damaged. DO NOT push the PTT when not actually intending to trans- mit. KEEP the transceiver out of the reach of children. 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. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when op- erating it continuously for long periods of time. DO NOT set the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be affected, and the transceiver may be damaged. DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below -10°C (+14˚F) or above +60°C (+140˚F). DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver's surfaces. USE only Icom microphones (supplied or optional). Other man- ufacturer's microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver if attached. Approved Icom optional equipment is designed for optimal performance when used with an Icom transceiver. Icom is not responsible for the destruction or damage to an Icom transceiver in the event the Icom transceiver is used with equipment that is not manufactured or approved by Icom. For only U.S.A. CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this device under FCC regulations. ii
