Icom ic pw1 PRECAUTIONS, IMPORTANT

RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVERattach

an antenna or internal antenna connector during trans-

mission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn.

RWARNING! NEVERcarry the linear ampliﬁer by

yourself. At least two persons must carry the linear

ampliﬁer since it weights approx. 25 kg (55 lb).

RWARNING! NEVER apply AC voltage until the

linear ampliﬁer is grounded. Touching the linear ampli-

ﬁer may result in an electrical shock.

RNEVER apply AC voltage that exceeds the sug-

gested voltage. This could cause a fire or ruin the

IC-PW1.

RNEVER use an extension cord with the AC power

cable. Extension cords may cause fire or electrical

shock.

RNEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any

internal part or connectors on the panel of the linear

ampliﬁer.This will cause electric shock.

RNEVER expose the linear ampliﬁer or remote con-

troller to rain, snow or any liquids.

NEVER allow children to play with the linear ampli-

ﬁer or remote controller.

DO NOT operate the IC-PW1 before adjusting the

[ALC adj1] and [ALC adj2] pots properly on the rear

panel of the linear ampliﬁer.

AVOIDusing or placing the linear ampliﬁer or remote

controller in areas with temperatures below –10°C

(+14°F) or above +40°C (+104°F).

AVOIDplacing the linear ampliﬁer or remote controller

in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight.

AVOID placing the linear amplifier against walls or

putting anything on top of the linear ampliﬁer.This will

obstruct heat dissipation.

BE CAREFUL! The linear amplifier will become hot

when operating if continuously for long periods.

BE CAREFUL! Set the transceiver’s (exciter’s) RF out-

put power to less than 100 W, otherwise, the IC-PW1

will be damaged.

During maritime mobile operation, keep the linear am-

pliﬁer, remote controller and microphone as far away

as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to

prevent erroneous indications.

The IC-PW1 cannot be used with the AH-2 HF AUTO-

MATIC ANTENNA TUNER.

For U.S.A. only

CAUTION:Changes or modiﬁcations to this device,

not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your

authority to operate this device under FCC regulations.

READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL

CAREFULLYbefore attempting to operate the lin-

ear ampliﬁer.

SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL.This in-

struction manual contains important safety and oper-

ating instructions for the IC-PW1.
