will soon become exhausted.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver will become hot when op-
erating it continuously for long periods of time.
DO NOT
set the transceiver in a place without adequate
ventilation. Heat dissipation may be affected, and the transceiver
may be damaged.
DO NOT
use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14˚F) or above +60°C
(+140˚F).
DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when
cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver’s surfaces.
USE
only Icom microphones (supplied or optional). Other man-
ufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments and may
damage the transceiver if attached.
Approved Icom optional equipment is designed for optimal per-
formance when used with an Icom transceiver.
Icom is not responsible for the destruction or damage to an Icom
transceiver in the event the Icom transceiver is used with equip-
ment that is not manufactured or approved by Icom.
