Heat dissipation
Grounding
To prevent electrical shock, television
interference (TVI), broadcast
interference (BCI) and other
problems, ground the transceiver
using the ground terminal [GND] on
the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy
gauge wire or strap to a long ground
rod. Make the distance between the
[GND] terminal and ground as short
as possible.
R
WARNING! NEVER
connect the [GND] terminal
to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could
cause an explosion or electric shock.
•
DO NOT
place the transceiver against walls or put
anything on top of the transceiver. This may block
airflow and overheat the transceiver.
•
NEVER
install the transceiver in a place without
adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be
reduced, and the transceiver may be damaged.
•
DO NOT
touch the transceiver after transmitting
continuously for long periods of time. The transceiver
may become hot.
Selecting a location
Select a location for the transceiver that allows
adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold
or vibration, and other electromagnetic sources.
Never place the transceiver in areas such as:
•
Temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F).
•An unstable place that slopes or vibrates.
•In direct sunlight.
•High humidity and temperature environments.
•Dusty environments.
•Noisy environments.
Using the desktop stands
The transceiver has a stand for desktop use.
NOTE: DO NOT
hold the stand, dials and controls
when you carry the transceiver. This may damage
them.
Stand
Connecting an external DC power supply
Confirm that the transceiver is OFF before connecting
the DC power cable.
L
We recommend using Icom’s optional PS-126
(DC 13.8 V/25 A) power supply, when available.
L
When connecting a non-Icom DC power cable, the
transceiver needs:
•
DC 13.8 V (Capacity: At least 18 Amps)
• A power supply with an over current protective line, and
low voltage fluctuation or ripple.
