Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom radios or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst. Rconnect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock. Rhold the transceiver so that the antenna is closer than 2.5 cm (1 inch) from exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical. connect the transceiver to a power source other than the products specified by Icom. Such a connection will ruin the transceiver. the flexible antenna and battery pack are securely attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to water will result in serious damage to the transceiver. The transceiver meets IPX8 requirements for waterproof protection. However, once the transceiver has been dropped, waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceiver's case or the waterproof seal. use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or above +60°C (+140°F) for the EXP/USA versions, below -15°C (+5°F) or above +55°C (+131°F) for the CHN/EUR/FRG/HOL/UK versions, and below -10°C (+14°F) or above +55°C (+131°F) for the AUS versions. use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces. push [PTT] when not actually intending to transmit. modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification. operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.the transceiver out of the reach of children. the transceiver at least 0.9 meter (3.0 feet) away from your vessel's magnetic navigation compass.
