INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 2

Using the desktop stands

The transceiver has legs for desktop use. zzPull-out the legs on both sides until they lock in

place.

NOTE: DO NOT hold the stand, dials and controls when you carry the transceiver. This may damage them.

Selecting a location

Select a location for the transceiver that allows adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold or vibrations, and other electromagnetic sources.

Never place the transceiver in areas such as: ••Temperatures below 0°C (+32°F) or above +50°C

(+122°F).

••An unstable place that slopes or vibrates. ••In direct sunlight.

••High humidity and temperature environments. ••Dusty environments.

••Noisy environments.

Heat dissipation

••NEVER install the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be reduced, and the transceiver may be damaged.

••DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or put 2 anything on top of the transceiver. This may block

airflow and overheat the transceiver.

••DO NOT touch the rear panel after transmitting continuously for long periods of time. The panel may become hot.

Grounding

To prevent electrical shock, television interference (TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems, ground the transceiver using the ground terminal [GND] on the rear panel.

For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap to a long ground rod. Make the distance between the [GND] terminal and ground as short as possible.

RWARNING! NEVER connect the [GND] terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could cause an explosion or electric shock.

Connecting an external DC power supply

Be sure that the power supply power is OFF before connecting the DC power cable.

We recommend using Icom’s optional PS-126 (13.8 V DC/25 A) power supply.

LWhen using a non-Icom DC power supply, you need: ••13.8 V DC (Capacity: At least 23 A)

••A power supply with an over current protective line and low voltage fluctuation or ripple.
