RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC out-
let. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power
source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V DC. This could
cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER reverse the DC power cable polar-
ity when connecting to a power source. This could damage
the transceiver.
RWARNING! 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.
CAUTION: NEVER place the transceiver where normal
operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could
cause bodily injury.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow
or any liquids. The transceiver may be damaged.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or
in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty environ-
ments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting any-
thing on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissi-
pation.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol to
clean the transceiver, as they will damage the transceiver’s
surfaces. If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it
clean with a soft, dry cloth.
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.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when op-
erating continuously for long periods of time.
Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent
use by children.
When the optional RMK-2 and the supplied/optional micro-
phone* are attached, the transceiver’s front panel meets
IP54 requirements for dust-protection and splash resistance.
However, once the front panel with the RMK-2 have been
dropped, dust-protection and splash resistance cannot be
guaranteed because of possible damage to these cases or
the waterproof seal.
* The main body of the microphone is not dust-protection and splash
resistance.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other
manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments,
and may damage the transceiver.
