INSTRUCTION MANUAL iT2H 144 MHz FM TRANSCEIVER This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is sub- ject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. IC-T2H Manual 01.12.5 4:31 PM Page A (1,1) Downloaded by? RadioAmateur.EU Versions of the IC-T2H which display the “CE” symbol on the serial number seal, comply with the ETSI specifi - cation prETS300 684 (EMC product standard for Com- mercially Available Amateur Radio Equipment). ii IMPORTANT READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com- pletely before using the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUALThis in- struction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-T2H. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS The explicit defi nitions below apply to this instruction manual. CAUTIONS 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 in) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical. 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 or discontinue use. NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a power source of more than 16 V DC. Such a connection will damage the transceiver. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will be protected by this fuse, higher fuse values will not give any protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be ruined. NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be- ware that external DC power connections will charge batteries inside the battery case. This will damage not only the battery case but also the transceiver. WORDDEFINITION 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, fi re or electric shock. IC-T2H Manual 01.12.5 4:31 PM Page ii (1,1) iii DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans- mit. Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by chil- dren. DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri- cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below 10C (+14F) or above +60C (+140F). The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty. Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still fl ows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the battery pack or installed Ni-Cd batteries will become ex- hausted. For USA only: Caution: Changes or modifi cations to this transceiver, not ex- pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
