EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
WORD DEFINITION

shock may occur.
CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
FCC INFORMATION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tion manual, may cause harmful interference to radio com-
munications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be re-
quired to correct the interference at his own expense.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this transceiver,
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your au-
thority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

PRECAUTIONS
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during
a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a
fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power
source and antenna before a storm.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. 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 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 might be damaged.
RWARNING! 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.
DO NOT operate or place the transceiver in areas with
temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F),
or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the ve-
hicle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out when
the transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine is OFF.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
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 will damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods of time.
USE the specified or optional microphone only. Other mi-
crophones have different pin assignments and may damage
the transceiver.
