EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

WORD DEFINITION

RDANGER! Personal death, serious injury or an ex-

plosion may occur.

RWARNING! Personal injury, ﬁre hazard or electric

shock may occur.

CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.

NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk

of personal injury, ﬁre or electric shock.

IMPORTANT

CAUTION: MAKE SURE the ﬂexible antenna, bat-

tery pack and jack cover are securely attached to the trans-

ceiver, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before

attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to dust or

water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.

DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-

cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

DO NOT

push [PTT] when not actually intending to transmit.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or

in areas with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above

+60°C (+140°F).

The basic operations, transmission and reception of the

transceiver are guaranteed within the speciﬁed operating

temperature range. However, the LCD display may not be

operate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long

hours of operation, or after being placed in extremely cold

areas.

DO NOT modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does

not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modiﬁcation.

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 it continuously for long periods of time.

PRECAUTIONS

RDANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery

pack.

RDANGER! Use and charge only speciﬁed Icom bat-

tery packs with Icom radios or Icom chargers. Only Icom bat-

tery packs are tested and approved for use with Icom radios

or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or coun-

terfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, ﬁre, or

cause the battery to burst.

RWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that

the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of

the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The

transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm

(2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is verti-

cal.

RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with

a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.

Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op-

eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the

volume level or discontinue use.

RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while

driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—

anything less may result in an accident.

FCC INFORMATION

s &/2 #,!33 ! 5.).4%.4)/.!, 2!$)!4/23

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 instruction

manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communi-

cations. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is

likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will

be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

BE CAREFUL! The IC-F3031S, IC-F3033S, IC-F3036S,

IC-F4031S, IC-F4033S and IC-F4036S meet IP67* require-

ments for dust-tight and waterproof protection. However,

once the transceiver has been dropped, dust-tight and water-

proof protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible

damage to the transceiver’s case or the waterproof seal.

* Only when the jack cover or the optional HM-168LWP is

attached.

Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still

ﬂows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or batteries

from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Other-

wise, the installed battery pack or batteries will become ex-

hausted, and will need to be recharged or replaced.

MAKE SURE to turn the transceiver power OFF before

connecting the supplied/optional equipment.

For U.S.A. only:

CAUTION: Changes or modiﬁcations to this transceiver, not

expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to

operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
