PRECAUTIONS R DANGER HIGH RF VOLTAGE! NEVER attach an antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn. R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use. R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage to the transceiver. 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, or use reverse polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other objects protrude into the transceiver or into connectors on the rear panel. This may result in an electric shock. R WARNING! ALWAYS use the supplied Black and red cables with fuse holders. After connecting the fuse holders, NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged. R WARNING! Immediately turn OFF the transceiver power and remove the power cable if it emits an abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor for advice. CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings of the transceiver. This may reduce transceiver performance and/or damage to the transceiver. In particular, incorrect settings for transmitter circuits, such as output power, idling current, and so on, might damage the expensive final devices. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized internal adjustment. CAUTION: NEVER install the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be reduced, and the transceiver may be damaged. DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below -30°C (-22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F). The basic operations, transmission and reception of the transceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating temperature range. However, the LCD display may not be operate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas. v DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces. DO NOT push the PTT switch when you don't actually desire to transmit. DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting anything on top of the transceiver. This may overheat the transceiver. Always place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children. BE CAREFUL! If you use a linear amplifier, set the transceiver's RF output power to less than the linear amplifier's maximum input level, otherwise, the linear amplifier will be damaged. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating the transceiver continuously for long periods of time. USE only the specified microphone. Other manufacturers' microphones have different pin assignments, and connection to the IC-F8101 may damage the transceiver or microphone. During mobile operation, NEVER place the transceiver where air bag deployment may be obstructed. During mobile operation, DO NOT place the transceiver where hot or cold air blows directly onto it. 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. Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before starting the vehicle engine. This will avoid possible damage to the transceiver by ignition voltage spikes. During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiver and microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indications. 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. KEEP the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and Never immerse it in the water. The transceiver meets IP54* requirements for dust-protection and splash resistance. However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dustprotection and splash resistance cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, and so on. * Only when the supplied microphone is attached.
