RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC
outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER connect t he transceiver to a
power source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity.
This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable be-
tween the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection
is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged.
CAUTION: NEVER place the transceiver where normal
operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could
cause bodily injury.
CAUTION: NEVER allow children to touch the trans-
ceiver.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain,
snow or any liquids. The transceiver may be damaged.
USE the specified microphone only. Other microphones have
different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or
in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the ve-
hicle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out if the
transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine OFF.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. This will ob-
struct heat dissipation.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.
KEEP the transceiver away from heavy rain, and never im-
merse it in the water.
When the supplied/optional microphone*, the front/rear
plate(s) and the speaker jack cover of the controller are at-
tached, the main unit and the controller meet IP54 require-
ments for dust-protection and splash resistance.
However, once these items have been dropped, dust-protec-
tion and splash resistance cannot be guaranteed because of
possible damage to these cases or the waterproof seal.
* The microphone is not dust-protection and splash resistance.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver,
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your author-
ity to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
