WORD DEFINITION
RDANGER!
RWARNING!
CAUTION
NOTE
Personal death, serious injury or an explosion may occur.
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.
PRECAUTIONS
R DANGER! NEVER short terminals of the battery pack.
Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such as a key, so
be careful when placing the battery packs (or the transceiver) in
handbags, etc. Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects
such as a key, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not only
the battery pack, but also the transceiver.
R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery packs
with Icom transceivers or Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs
are tested and approved for use with Icom transceivers or charged
with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or
chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.
R WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the an-
tenna 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 2 to 4 in. (5 to 10 cm) away from
the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a head-
set or other audio accessories at high volume levels. The continuous high volume operation may cause a ringing in your ears. If you
experience the ringing, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.
CAUTION: NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a ve-
hicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less may
result in an accident.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna, battery pack
and jack cover are securely attached to the transceiver, and that
the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to dust or water will result in
serious damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT push [PTT] when you do not actually intend to transmit.
DO NOT modify the transceiver. The specifications may change
and then not comply with the requirements of a corresponded regu
lation. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused
by unauthorized modification.
-
DO NOT operate or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below +22°F (–30°C) or above +140°F
(+60°C).
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blast-
ing caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when
cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating
it continuously for long periods of time.
KEEP the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and Never im-
merse it in the water. The transceiver meets IP55* requirements for
dust-protection and water jet resistance.
However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dust-protection
and water jet resistance cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that
the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, etc.
* Only when the supplied battery pack, flexible antenna and con-
nector cover are attached.
