This device emits Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be observed when operating this device. If you have any questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology's report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65) NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury. DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit. DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment containing a transmitter. During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver without 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. RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock. RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention--anything less may result in an accident. connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC. This will ruin the transceiver. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods. NEVER NEVER AVOID placing the transceiver against walls or putting anything on the top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissipation. connect the transceiver to a power source using reverse polarity. This will ruin the transceiver. 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. NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. The transceiver may be damaged. NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This ii may result in an electric shock or ruin the transceiver. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below ­10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F). AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver's surfaces. USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other manufacturer's microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver if attached.
