CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY WITH
FRESH WATER
after exposure to saltwater, and dry
it before operating. Otherwise, the transceiver's keys,
switches and controllers may become unusable, due to salt
crystallization, and/or the charging terminals of the battery
pack may rust.
NOTE:
If the transceiver’s waterproof protection appears
defective, carefully clean it with a soft, wet (fresh water)
cloth, then, dry it before operating.
The transceiver may lose its waterproof protection if the
case, jack cap, or connector cover is cracked or broken, or
the transceiver has been dropped.

WORD
DEFINITION
R
DANGER!
Personal death, serious injury or an
explosion may occur.
R
WARNING!
Personal injury, fi re hazard or electric
shock may occur.
CAUTION
Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fi re or electric shock.
R
DANGER! NEVER
short terminals of the battery pack.
This may damage not only the battery pack, but also the
transceiver.
R
DANGER! NEVER
operate the transceiver near
unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive
atmosphere.
R
DANGER!
Use and charge only specifi ed Icom battery
packs with Icom transceivers or Icom chargers. Only
Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use with
Icom transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using
thirdparty or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may
cause smoke, fi re, or cause the battery to burst.
R
WARNING! NEVER
operate the transceiver 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 the transceiver while driving
a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything
less may result in an accident.
CAUTION: NEVER
use harsh solvents such as Benzine
or alcohol when cleaning, because they will damage the
transceiver surfaces.
CAUTION: NEVER
carry the transceiver by holding the
antenna.
CAUTION: CONFIRM
the fl exible antenna, battery pack
and jack cover are securely attached to the transceiver,
and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before
attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to dust or
water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT
use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in places with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F). The basic operations of the transceiver
are guaranteed within the specifi ed operating temperature
range. However, the Liquid Crystal Display may not operate
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 specifi cations may
change and then the transceiver may not comply with
the requirements of required regulations. The transceiver
warranty does not cover any problems caused by
unauthorized modifi cation.
BE CAREFUL!
The trasceiver may become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods of time. This may
damage the transceiver.
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver meets IP68 requirements
for dust-tight and waterproof protection. However, once the
transceiver has been dropped, dust-tight and waterproof
protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible
damage to the transceiver’s case or the waterproof seal.
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current
still fl ows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack from the
transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the
installed battery pack will become exhausted, and will need
to be recharged or replaced.
ALWAYS
turn OFF the transceiver power before connecting
any external devices.
