UHF C.R.S.TRANSCEIVER

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

FOREWORD

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely

before using the transceiver.

SA VE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This in-

struction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-40S.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

The explicit deﬁnitions below apply to this instruction manual.

This device complies with Standards Australia Speciﬁcation no.AS/NZS4365-1995 & AS4295-1995.

CAUTIONS

R WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the

antenna is very close to, or touching exposed par ts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm 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. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.

NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a

power source of more than 16 V DC. Such a connection will damage the transceiver.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is

DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental re verse connection will be protected by this fuse, higher fuse values will not give any protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be ruined.

NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be-

ware that external DC power connections will charge batteries inside the battery case.This will damage not only the battery case but also the transceiver.

WORD

WARNING

CAUTION

NOTE

DEFINITION

Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur.

If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock.

Equipment damage may occur.

n33

DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-

mit.

DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment

containing a transmitter.

DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical

blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or

in areas with temperatures below –10°C or above +60°C. The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair

transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty. Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still

flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the battery pack or installed dry cell batteries will become exhausted.
