DANGER! NEVER
operate the
transceiver near unshielded electrical
blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
This could cause an explosion and death.
R
WARNING! NEVER
use or charge Icom
battery packs with non-Icom transceivers
or non-Icom chargers. Only Icom battery
packs are tested and approved for use with
Icom transceivers or charged with Icom
chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit
battery packs or chargers may cause
smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.
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.
R
WARNING! NEVER
operate or touch
the transceiver with wet hands. This could
cause an electric shock or damage the
transceiver.
R
WARNING! NEVER
operate the
transceiver with earphones, 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 a
volume level or discontinue use.
CAUTION: DO NOT
use or leave
the transceiver in excessively dusty
environments. This could damage the
transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT
short the terminals of
the battery pack. Shorting may occur if the
terminals touch metal objects such as a
key, so be careful when placing the battery
packs (or the transceiver) in bags, and so
on. Carry them so that shorting cannot
occur with metal objects. Shorting may
damage not only the battery pack, but also
the transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT
change the internal
settings of the equipment. This may reduce
equipment performance and/or cause
extensive and expensive damage to the
equipment.
The equipment warranty does not cover
any problems caused by unauthorized
internal adjustments.
CAUTION: DO NOT
operate the
transceiver unless the rear cover and the
connector covers are securely attached to
the transceiver and that the battery pack
are dry before attachment.
Exposing the inside of the transceiver to
dust or water will result in serious damage
to the transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT
operate the
transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe
driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.
CAUTION: DO NOT
use harsh solvents
such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning.
This could damage the equipment
surfaces. If the surface becomes dusty or
dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT
use the non-specified-
microphone. Other microphones have
different pin assignments and may damage
the transceiver.
CAUTION:
Confirm that all connectors and
jacks are dry and clean before attachment.
Exposing them to dust or water will result in
serious damage to the transceiver.
