IMPORTANT READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY before attempting to operate the lin- ear amplifier. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This in- struction manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the IC-PW1. PRECAUTIONS RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER attach an antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn. RWARNING! NEVER carry the linear amplifier by yourself. At least two persons must carry the linear amplifier since it weights approx. 25 kg (55 lb). RWARNING! NEVER apply AC voltage until the linear amplifier is grounded. Touching the linear amplifier may result in an electrical shock. RNEVER apply AC voltage that exceeds the sug- gested voltage. This could cause a fire or ruin the IC-PW1. RNEVER use an extension cord with the AC power cable. Extension cords may cause fire or electrical shock. RNEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any internal part or connectors on the panel of the linear amplifier. This will cause electric shock. RNEVER expose the linear amplifier or remote con- troller to rain, snow or any liquids. NEVER allow children to play with the linear ampli- fier or remote controller. DO NOT operate the IC-PW1 before adjusting the [ALC adj1] and [ALC adj2] pots properly on the rear panel of the linear amplifier. AVOID using or placing the linear amplifier or remote controller in areas with temperatures below -10°C (+14°F) or above +40°C (+104°F). AVOID placing the linear amplifier or remote controller in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight. AVOID placing the linear amplifier against walls or putting anything on top of the linear amplifier. This will obstruct heat dissipation. BE CAREFUL! The linear amplifier will become hot when operating if continuously for long periods. BE CAREFUL! Set the transceiver's (exciter's) RF output power to less than 100 W, otherwise, the IC-PW1 will be damaged. During maritime mobile operation, keep the linear amplifier, remote controller and microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indications. The IC-PW1 cannot be used with the AH-2 HF AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER. For U.S.A. only CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this device under FCC regulations. i
