DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical
blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
During mobile operation,
DO NOT operate the transceiver
without running the vehicle’s engine. When transceiver power
is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s battery
will soon become exhausted.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F).
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s
surfaces.
Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by chil-
dren.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when op-
erating it continuously for long periods.
USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other
manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments
and may damage the transceiver if attached.
For LCD display
DO NOT press the LCD screen. Excessive pressure may
cause permanent damage to the LCD.
DO NOT tap or scratch the LCD using sharp objects.
BE CAREFUL when cleaning the LCD. Dust can easily
scratch the surface.
LCDs are produced using high-density manufacturing tech-
nology resulting in 99.98% active dots, however, up to 0.02%
of the dots may be non-active and/or continuously active. This
is normal and does not indicate LCD malfunction.
Uneven areas may be displayed depending on display con-
tents in some cases.
After displaying the same screen continuously for long peri-
ods, image ‘burn-in’ may occur. In such cases, turn the power
OFF and discontinue operation for at least 24 hours.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device, not ex-
pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to
operate this device under FCC regulations.
