READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

carefully and completely

before using the transceiver.

SAVE THIS  INSTRUCTION  MANUAL  

This in-

struction manual contains important operating instructions for
the IC-40S.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

The explicit definitions below apply to this instruction manual.

This device complies with Standards Aus-
tralia Specification no. AS/NZS4365-1995
& AS4295-1995.

CAUTIONS

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 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.
Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op-
eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the
volume level or discontinue use.

NEVER

connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a

power source of more than 16 V DC. Such a connection will
damage the transceiver.

NEVER 

connect the transceiver to a power source that is

DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will
be protected by this fuse, higher fuse values will not give any
protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be
ruined.

NEVER 

attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be-

ware that external DC power connections will charge batteries
inside the battery case. This will damage not only the battery
case but also the transceiver.

WORD

WARNING

CAUTION

NOTE

DEFINITION

Personal injury, fire hazard or electric 
shock may occur.

If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk 
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.

Equipment damage may occur.
