transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 2 to 4 in. (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 bat-
tery pack.
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 +22°F (–30°C) or above
+140°F (+60°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
operated 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 away from the heavy rain, and
Never immerse it in the water. The transceiver construction
