The vehicle's battery will quickly run out if the transceiver is in transmission while the vehicle's engine OFF. AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty environments. AVOID placing the transceiver against walls. This will obstruct heat dissipation. AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating continuously for long periods. IMPORTANT! Detailed installation notes for Icom mobile transceivers to be fitted into vehicles are available. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor. ii 1 PANEL DESCRIPTION I Front panel q w e r u y t q AF VOLUME CONTROL KNOB Rotate the knob to adjust the audio output level. · Minimum audio level is pre-programmed.
