Icom IC-7600, Instruction Manual, Page: 3 / 196

PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING HIGH RF VOLTAGE! NEVER
attach an antenna or internal antenna connector
during transmission. This may result in an electrical
shock or burn.
R WARNING! NEVER
operate the radio with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume
levels. The continuous high volume operation may
cause a ringing in your ears. If you experience the
ringing, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.
R WARNING! NEVER
operate or touch the radio
with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or
damage to the radio.
R WARNING! NEVER
let metal, wire or other
objects protrude into the radio or into connectors on
the rear panel. This may result in an electric shock.
R WARNING!
Immediately turn the radio power
OFF and remove the power cable if it emits an
abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom
dealer or distributor for advice.
R WARNING! NEVER
put the radio in any
unstable place (such as on a slanted surface or
vibrated place). This may cause injury and/or damage
to the radio.
R WARNING! NEVER
apply AC power to the
[DC13.8V] connector on the radio rear panel. This
could cause a fire or damage the radio.
R WARNING! NEVER
apply more than 16 V DC
to the [DC13.8V] connector on the radio rear panel.
This could cause a fire or damage the radio.
CAUTION: NEVER
change the internal settings
of the radio. This may reduce radio performance and/
or damage to the radio.
In particular, incorrect settings for transmitter circuits,
such as output power, idling current, etc., might
damage the expensive final devices.
The radio warranty does not cover any problems
caused by unauthorized internal adjustment.
CAUTION: NEVER
block any cooling vents on
the top, rear or bottom of the radio.
CAUTION: NEVER
expose the radio to rain, snow
or any liquids.
CAUTION: NEVER
install the radio in a place
without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be
reduced, and the radio may be damaged.
DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as benzine or
alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the
radio’s surfaces.
DO NOT
push the PTT switch when you don’t
actually desire to transmit.
DO NOT
operate or place the radio in areas with
temperatures below ±0°C (+32°F) or above +50°C
(+122°F).
DO NOT
place the radio in excessively dusty
environments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT
place the radio against walls or putting
anything on top of the radio. This may overheat the
radio.
Always place unit in a secure place to avoid
inadvertent use by children.
BE CAREFUL! If you use a linear amplifier, set
the radio’s RF output power to less than the linear
amplifier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear
amplifier will be damaged.
BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when
operating the radio continuously for long periods of
time.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional).
Other manufacturers’ microphones have different pin
assignments, and connection to the IC-7600 may
damage the radio or microphone.
The LCD display may have cosmetic imperfections
that appear as small dark or light spots. This is not a
malfunction or defect, but a normal characteristic of
LCD displays.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the radio
and microphone as far away as possible from the
magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous
indications.
Turn the radio power OFF and/or disconnect the DC
power cable when you will not use the radio for long
period of time.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications to this
device, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could
void your authority to operate this device under FCC
regulations.
