During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver
without running the vehicle’s engine. When transceiver power
is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s battery
will soon become exhausted.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F).
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s
surfaces.
USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other
manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments
and may damage the transceiver if attached.
For U.S.A. only
Caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not ex-
pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to
operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
