DANGER! NEVER
short the terminals of the bat-
tery pack.

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/charg-
ers to prevent the loss of the transceiver’s good performance
and warranty.
DO NOT
push [PTT] when not actually desiring to transmit.
DO NOT
use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C.
The basic operations, transmission and reception of the
transceiver are guaranteed within the specified operating
temperature range. However, the LCD display may not oper-
ate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours
of operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.
DO NOT
modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty
does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modi-
fication.
KEEP
the transceiver away from the heavy rain, and never
immerse it in the water. The transceiver meets IP55* require-
ments for dust-protection and water jet resistance.
However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dust-pro-
tection and water jet resistance cannot be guaranteed due
to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the water-
proof seal damaged, etc.
* Only when the supplied battery pack, flexible antenna and connec-
tor cover are attached.
