RDANGER HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an antenna
connector during transmission. This may result in an electrical
shock or burn.
RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This transceiver emits Ra-
dio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be observed
when operating this transceiver. If you have any questions re-
garding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the
Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and
Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guide-
lines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET
Bulletin 65).
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving
a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less
may result in an accident.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with an ear-
phone or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Continu-
ous high volume operation may cause a ringing in your ears. If you
experience ringing, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC out-
let. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a power
source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V DC. This could
cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER reverse the DC power cable polar-
ity when connecting to a power source. This could damage the
transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable between the
DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after
cutting, the transceiver may be damaged.
RWARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch
any internal part or connectors on the rear panel of the trans-
ceiver. This may result in an electric shock or this could cause a
fire or damage the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with
wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or may damage
the transceiver.
RWARNING! Immediately turn OFF the transceiver power
and remove the power cable if it emits an abnormal odor, sound
or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor for advice.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or
any liquids.
CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings of the trans-
ceiver. This may reduce transceiver performance and/or damage
to the transceiver.
CAUTION: NEVER place the transceiver where normal op-
eration of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause
bodily injury.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical
blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
PRECAUTIONS

iii
New2001 New2001
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol to clean
the transceiver, as they will damage the transceiver’s surfaces. If
the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft,
dry cloth.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tempera-
tures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F). Be aware
that temperatures on a vehicle’s dashboard can exceed +80°C
(+176°F) in direct sunlight, resulting in permanent damage to the
transceiver if left there for extended periods.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty environ-
ments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting anything on
top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissipation.
Place the transceiver in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use
by children.
During mobile operation, NEVER place the transceiver where
air bag deployment may be obstructed.
During mobile operation, DO NOT place the transceiver where
hot or cold air blows directly onto it.
During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver with-
out running the vehicle’s engine. When the transceiver’s power
is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s battery will
soon become exhausted.
Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before starting the ve-
hicle engine. This will avoid possible damage to the transceiver
by ignition voltage spikes.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiver and mi-
crophone as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation
compass to prevent erroneous indications.
BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when operat-
ing the transceiver continuously for long periods of time.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other manu-
facturer’s microphones have different pin assignments, and may
damage the transceiver.
