tenna at any place that person easily touch the an-
tenna while transmitting. This could cause an electrical
shock or RF burn.
R
WARNING! NEVER
apply AC power to the DC
power receptacle on the repeater rear panel. This
could cause a fire or damage the repeater.
R
WARNING! NEVER
apply more than 16 V DC to
the DC power receptacle on the repeater rear panel.
This could cause a fire or damage the repeater.
R
WARNING! NEVER
reverse the DC power cable
polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the re-
peater.
R
WARNING! NEVER
let metal, wire or other objects
contact the inside of the repeater, or make incorrect
contact with connectors on the rear panel. This could
cause an electric shock or damage the repeater.
CAUTION: DO NOT
place or leave the repeater in
areas with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F). Be aware that temperatures can ex-
ceed 80°C (+176°F), resulting in permanent damage
to the repeater if left there for extended periods.
CAUTION: DO NOT
place or leave the repeater in ex-
cessively dusty environments. This could damage the
repeater.
CAUTION: DO NOT
put anything on top of the re-
peater. This will obstruct heat dissipation.
CAUTION: DO NOT
set the repeater’s RF output
power to more than your external linear amplifier’s
maximum input level, if you use one. Otherwise, a high
input could damage the linear amplifier.
CAUTION: DO NOT
use non-Icom microphones.
Other manufacturer’s microphones may have differ-
ent pin assignments, and could damage the connector
and/or the repeater.
BE CAREFUL!
The heatsink will become hot when
continuously operating the repeater for long periods
of time.
NEVER
expose the repeater to rain, snow or any liq-
uids.
NEVER
leave the repeater in an insecure place to
avoid use by unauthorized persons.
