FCC INFORMATION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
Icom is not responsible for the destruction or damage to the Icom transceiver, if the malfunction is because of:
•Force majeure, including, but not limited to, fires,earthquakes, storms, floods, lightnings, or other naturaldisasters, disturbances, riots, war, or radioactivecontamination.
•The use of Icom transceiver with any equipment that is not manufactured or approved by Icom.
PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power source and antenna before a storm.
R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! 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.
R WARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
CAUTION: NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the vehicle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out when the transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine is OFF.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty environments.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. This will obstruct heat dissipation.
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 continuously for long periods of time.
USE the specified microphone only. Other microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.
