WARNING! NEVER
hold the transceiver so that the an-
tenna 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.

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.
CAUTION! NEVER
connect the transceiver to a power source
other than the BP-230N or BP-232N. Such a connection will ruin
the trans-ceiver.

use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –22°F (–30°C) or above +140°F

MAKE SURE
the flexible antenna and battery pack are securely
attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna and battery pack

The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair trans-
ceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.
