INTRODUCTION

This service manual describes the latest service information for the IC-F3GT and IC-F3GSat the time of publication.

To upgrade quality, all electrical or mechanical parts and internal circuits are subject to change without notice or oblig- ation.

DANGER

NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a DC power supply that uses more than 16 V. Such a connection could cause a fire hazard and/or electric shock.

DO NOT expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.

DO NOT reverse the polarities of the power supply when con- necting the transceiver.

DO NOT apply an RF signal of more than 20 dBm (100mW) to the antenna connector. This could damage the transceiv- er’s front end.

REPAIR NOTES

1.Make sure a problem is internal before disassembling the transceiver.

2.DO NOT open the transceiver until the transceiver is disconnected from its power source.

3.DO NOT force any of the variable components. Turn them slowly and smoothly.

4.DO NOT short any circuits or electronic parts. An insulated turning tool MUST be used for all adjustments.

5.DO NOT keep power ON for a long time when the transceiver is defective.

6.DO NOT transmit power into a signal generator or a sweep generator.

7.ALWAYS connect a 40 dB to 50 dB attenuator between the transceiver and a deviation meter or spectrum analyzer when using such test equipment.

8.READ the instructions of test equipment thoroughly before connecting equipment to the transceiver.
