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 WARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits Radio Frequency (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). R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. If you experience a ringing in your ears,reduce the volume or discontinue use. R WARNING! NEVER apply AC power to the [DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER apply more than 16 V DC to the [DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER reverse the DC power cable polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER remove the fuse holder on the DC power cable. Excessive current caused by a short could cause a fire or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other objects contact the inside of the transceiver, or make incorrect contact with connectors on the rear panel. This could cause an electric shock or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This could cause an electric shock or damage to the transceiver. R WARNING! Immediately turn OFF the transceiver power and remove the DC power cable from the transceiver if it emits an abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor for advice. R WARNING! NEVER put the transceiver on an unstable place where the transceiver may suddenly move or fall. This could cause an injury or damage the transceiver. 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 souce and antenna before a storm. CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings of the transceiver. This could reduce transceiver performance and/or damage to the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized internal adjustments. CAUTION: NEVER 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. CAUTION: NEVER use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces. CAUTION: NEVER leave the transceiver in areas with temperatures below -10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F) for mobile operations. CAUTION: NEVER place the transceiver in excessively dusty environments. This could damage the transceiver. DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting anything on top of the transceiver. This may overheat the transceiver. BE CAREFUL! The Main unit will become hot when operating the transceiver continuously for long periods of time. CAUTION: If you use a linear amplifier, set the transceiver's RF output power to less than the linear amplifier's maximum input level, otherwise a high input could damage the linear amplifier. CAUTION: Use only Icom supplied or optional microphones. Other manufacturer's microphones may have different pin assignments, and could damage the connector and/or the transceiver. NEVER leave the transceiver in an insecure place to avoid use by unauthorized persons. Turn OFF the transceiver's power and/or disconnect the AC power cable when you will not use the transceiver for a long period of time. Turn OFF the transceiver's power and/or disconnect the DC power cable when you will not use the transceiver for long period of time. The LCD display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small dark or light spots. This is not a malfunction or defect, but a normal characteristic of LCD displays. vii
