Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock
may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
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.
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.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of
the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily
injury.
NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver.
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
USE the supplied microphone only. Other microphones
have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –25°C or above +55°C, or in areas subject to
direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
AVOID operating the transceiver without running the vehi-
cle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if the
transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine OFF.
AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
AVOID placing the transceiver against walls. This will
obstruct heat dissipation.
AVOID the use of 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.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate
this transceiver under FCC regulations.
