WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE
the flexible antenna,
battery pack and jack cover are securely attached to the
transceiver, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry
before attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to
dust or water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded
electrical blast ing caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to
transmit.
DO NOT operate or place the transceiver in direct
sunlight or in areas with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F)
or above +60°C (+140°F).
DO NOT modify the transceiver. The specifications may
change and then not comply with the requirements of a
corresponded regulation. The transceiver warranty does not
cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods of time.
PRECAUTIONS
R
DANGER! NEVER short terminals of the battery
pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such
as a key, so be careful when placing the battery packs (or
the transceiver) in handbags, and so on. Simply carrying
with or placing near metal objects such as a key, and so on
may cause shorting. This may damage not only the battery
pack, but also the transceiver.
R
DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom
battery packs with Icom transceivers or Icom chargers. Only
Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with
Icom transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using
third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may
cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.
R
WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that
the antenna is very close to, or touching 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.
R
WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with
a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
The continuous high volume operation may cause a ringing
in your ears. If you experience the ringing, reduce the
volume level or discontinue use.
