CAUTIONS
R
WARNING! NEVER
connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
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 verti-
cal.
NEVER
connect the transceiver to a power source other
than the BP-223 or BP-224. Such a connection will ruin the
transceiver.
AVOID
using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –15°C or above +55°C.
KEEP
the transceiver out of the reach of children.
KEEP
the transceiver at least 0.9 meter (3.0 ft) away from
your vessel’s magnetic navigation compass.
iii
BE CAREFUL!
The transceiver’s right-side panel will
become hot when operating continuously for long periods.
BE CAREFUL!
The IC-M21 employs water resistant
construction, which corresponds to JIS water resistant speci-
fication, grade 7 (1 m; 3 ft depth for 30 min.). However, once
the transceiver has been dropped, water resistant cannot be
guaranteed due to the fact that the transceiver may be
cracked, or the water resistant seal damaged, etc.
MAKE SURE
the flexible antenna and battery pack are
securely attached 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.
Versions of the IC-M21 which display the “CE”
symbol on the serial number seal, comply with
the essential requirements of the European Radio
and Telecommunication Terminal Directive 1999/5/EC.
This warning symbol indicates that this equipment oper-
ates in non-harmonised frequency bands and/or may be sub-
ject to licensing conditions in the country of use. Be sure to
check that you have the correct version of this radio or the
correct programing of this radio, to comply with national li-
censing requirement.
