INTRODUCTION
This service manual describes the latest service information for
the
IC-F30GT/GS
and
IC-F31GT/GS
VHF TRANSCEIVER at
the time of publication.
To upgrade quality, all electrical or mechanical parts and inter-
nal circuits are subject to change without notice or obligation.
DANGER
NEVER
connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a DC
power supply that uses more than 10 V. This will ruin the
transceiver.
DO NOT
expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liq-
uids.
DO NOT
reverse the polarities of the power supply when
connecting the transceiver.
DO NOT
apply an RF signal of more than 20 dBm (100
mW) to the antenna connector. This could damage the
transceiver’s front end.
