SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the IC-M802. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS WORD DEFINITION R WARNING Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur. CAUTION Equipment damage may occur. NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk or personal injury, fire or electric shock. PRECAUTIONS R WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER at- tach an antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn. R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet directly. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock. R WARNING! NEVER mount the transceiver main unit overhead. The weight of the unit is approximately 4.7 kg (10 lb 6 oz), but its apparent weight will increase several fold due to wave shocks or vibration. The unit must be mounted on a flat hard surface only. R NEVER connect a power source of more than 15.64 V DC, such as a 24 V battery. This connection could cause a fire or ruin the transceiver. R NEVER place the transceiver where normal oper- ation of the ship or vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury. R NEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any internal part or connectors on the rear panel of the transceiver. This may result in an electric shock. R NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver surface. i During maritime mobile operation, KEEP the transceiver and microphone as far away as possible (at least 1 m; 3 ft) from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indications. Use Icom microphones only (supplied). Other manufacturer's microphones have different pin assignments, and connection to the IC-M802 may damage the transceiver. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or above +55°C (+131°F). AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight. AVOID placing the transceiver against walls or putting anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissipation. Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children. BE CAREFUL! The heatsink will become hot when operating the transceiver continuously for long periods.
