PRECAUTIONS
TABLE OF CONTENTS
CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or
alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the separation
kit’s surfaces.
CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver (with
the separation kit) 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.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the transceiver (with the
separation kit) if it becomes hot after transmitting for long
periods of time. This may damage the transceiver.
CAUTION: BE SURE that all connectors and jacks are dry
and clean before attachment. Exposing them to dust or
water will result in serious damage to the transceiver and the
separation kit.
BE SURE the transceiver power is OFF and the DC power
cable is disconnected before attaching the separation kits.
USE the specied microphone only. Other, or non-Icom
microphones have different pin assignments and may
damage the transceiver and the separation kit.
