PRECAUTION
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 closer than 2.5 cm
(1 inch)
from 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.
NEVER
connect the transceiver to a power source other
than the BP-245. Such a connection will ruin the transceiver.
AVOID
using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –20°C
(–4°F)
or above
+60°C
(+140°F)
.
KEEP
the transceiver out of the reach of children.
KEEP
the transceiver at least 0.9 meters
(3.0 ft)
away from
your vessel’s magnetic navigation compass.
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.
BE CAREFUL!
The IC-M72 employs submersible con-
struction
(1.5 m; 4.5 ft depth for 30 min.)
. However, once the
transceiver has been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guar-
anteed due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked,
or the waterproof seal damaged, etc.
