Initial Inspection
Depending on the option you ordered, in addition to this manual, you should find the following items inside the shipping container:
•PCL-849(A/B/+) 4-port RS-232 Card
•One 30-cm male DB-37 to four male DB-25 cable
•One diskette with ICOM utility software
We have carefully inspected the PCL-849 mechanically and electrical- ly before shipping. It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect working order on receipt.
As you unpack the PCL-849, check it for signs of shipping damage (damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or it fails to meet specifications, notify our service department or your local sales representative immediately. Also notify the carrier. Retain the shipping carton and packing material for inspection by the carrier. After inspection we will make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.
Remove the PCL-849 from its protective packaging by grasping the rear metal panel. Keep the anti-vibration packing. Whenever you remove the card from the PC, store it in this package for protection.
Warning! Discharge your body’s static electric charge by touching the back of the grounded chassis of the system unit (metal) before handling the board.You 
should avoid contact with materials that hold a static charge such as plastic, vinyl and styrofoam. Handle the board only by its edges to avoid static damage to its integrated circuits. Avoid touching the exposed circuit connectors.
