PRECAUTIONS
R DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the bat-
tery pack.
R WARNING! 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 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
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
CAUTION: NEVER use non-Icom battery packs/char-
gers 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 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. 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 is water resistant,
not waterproof.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not
expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to
operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
