WARNING! NEVER
connect the transceiver to an AC
outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
R
WARNING! NEVER
connect the transceiver to a
power source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery.
This connection will ruin the transceiver.
R
WARNING! NEVER
cut the DC power cable be-
tween the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connec-
tion is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.
R
WARNING! NEVER
place the transceiver where
normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it
could cause bodily injury.
CAUTION! NEVER
allow children to touch the transceiver.
CAUTION! NEVER
expose the transceiver to rain,
snow or any liquids. The transceiver may be damaged.
USE
the specified microphone only. Other microphones have
different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.
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 envi-
ronments.
DO NOT
operate the transceiver without running the ve-
hicle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if the
transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine OFF.
DO NOT
place the transceiver against walls. This will ob-
struct heat dissipation.
DO NOT
use chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.
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.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications to this transceiver,
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your author-
ity to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
