PRECAUTIONS
R
DANGER! NEVER
short the terminals of the battery pack.
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.
CAUTION: NEVER
use non-Icom battery packs/chargers, to pre-
vent the loss of the transceiver’s good performance and warranty.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE
the flexible antenna and battery pack
are securely attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna and
battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the
transceiver to water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT
push [PTT] when not actually intending to transmit.
DO NOT
use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas
with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C.
DO NOT
modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does
not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.
KEEP
the transceiver away from heavy rain, and never immerse
it in the water. The transceiver meets IP54* requirements for dust-
protection and splash resistance. However, once the transceiver
has been dropped, dust-protection and splash resistance cannot
be guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceiver’s
case or the waterproof seal.
* Only when the battery pack/case and jack cover are attached.
MAKE SURE
to turn the transceiver power OFF before connect-
ing the supplied/optional equipment.
