■ Grounding
To prevent accidents involving electricity and interfer-
ence from transceivers, ground the receiver through
the [GND] terminal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap
to a long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance be-
tween the [GND] terminal and ground as short as pos-
sible.
R WARNING: NEVER connect the [GND]
terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connec-
tion could cause an explosion or electric shock.
■ Receiver stand
The base of the receiver has an adjustable stand for
desktop use. Set the stand to one of two angles de-
pending on your operating conditions.
■ Optional bracket and
carrying handle
D Mounting bracket
An optional IC-MB5 MOBILE MOUNTING BRACKET is avail-
able to install the radio under a table, on a wall, in a
vehicle, etc.
Select an area to mount the receiver keeping in mind
that the weight of the receiver is approx. 3 kg.
D Carrying handle
An optional handle allows you to easily carry and
transport the receiver.
Attach the MB-23 CARRYING HANDLE with the supplied
rubber feet as shown.
