PRECAUTION

RWARNING! NEVER operate the receiver with a ear- phone, headphones or other audio accessories at high vol- ume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, re- duce the volume level or discontinue use.

RWARNING! NEVER connect the receiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.

RWARNING! NEVER operate the receiver while dri- ving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—any- thing less may result in an accident.

RWARNING! NEVER throw a battery cell into a ﬁre since as internal battery gas can cause explosion.

RWARNING! NEVER disassemble the battery cell. If the battery cell’s internal material (electrolyte liquid) gets into your eyes, wash your eyes with water and obtain treatment from an eye doctor immediately.

NEVER connect the receiver to a power source of more than 6 V DC directly. This will damage the receiver.

NEVER connect the receiver to a power source using re- verse polarity. This will damage the receiver.

NEVER expose the receiver to rain, snow or any liquids. The receiver may be damaged.

NEVER operate or touch the receiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage the receiver.

NEVER solder the battery cell. This may damage the bat- tery.

AVOID using or placing the receiver 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 receiver’s sur- faces.

Even when the receiver power is OFF, a slight current still ﬂows in the circuits. Remove batteries from the receiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed batteries will become exhausted, and will need to be recharged.

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.
