PRECAUTIONS

R CAUTION! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts 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 CAUTION! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.

R CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack.

DO NOT modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.

KEEP the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and Never immerse it in the water. The transceiver meets IP55* requirements for dust-protection and water jet resistance.

However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dustprotection and water jet resistance cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, etc.

R CAUTION! NEVER use non-Icom battery packs/ chargers to prevent the loss of the transceiver’s good performance and warranty.

DO NOT push [PTT] when not actually desiring to transmit.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C.

The basic operations, transmission and reception of the transceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating temperature range. However, the LCD display may not operate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.

*Only when the supplied battery pack, flexible antenna and connector cover are attached.

Icom optional equipment are designed for optimal performance when used with this transceiver. We are not responsible for the transceiver being damaged or any accident caused when using non-Icom optional equipment.
