EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
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 approxi-
mately 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 al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the trans-
ceiver surface.
During maritime mobile operation, KEEP the trans-
ceiver 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 manu-
facturer’s microphones have different pin assignments,
and connection to the IC-M802 may damage the trans-
ceiver.
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 en-
vironments 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 op-
erating the transceiver continuously for long periods.
