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

R CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the bat-
tery pack.
DO NOT push PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
AVOID using or placing 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 be operate
correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of
operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.
DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.
KEEP the transceiver from the heavy rain, and Never
immerse it in the water. The transceiver construction is water
resistant, not waterproof.
The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair
transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.
