PRECAUTIONS
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 (2 to 4 inches) 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
short the terminals of the battery pack.
NEVER
connect the transceiver to a power source other than the BP-
226 or BP-227. Such a connection will ruin the transceiver.
DO NOT
push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
AVOID
using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas
with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F).
DO NOT
modify the transceiver for any reason.
MAKE SURE
the flexible antenna and battery pack are securely at-
tached 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.
BE CAREFUL!
The IC-F50V/F60V series transceivers employ wa-
terproof construction, which corresponds to IPX7 of the international
standard IEC 60529 (2001), 1 m depth for 30 minutes. However, once
the transceiver has been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guaranteed
due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof
seal damaged, etc.
The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver
performance and invalidate the warranty.
FCC caution:
Changes or modifications to this device, not expressly approved by
Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under
FCC regulations.
