Extreme caution should be ob- served when operating this device. If you have any questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engi- neering and Technologys report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio frequency Electro- magnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65) RWARNING! NEVERhold 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! NEVERoperate 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. RWARNING! NEVERoperate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention anything less may result in an accident. RWARNING! NEVERconnect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fi re hazard or result in an electric shock. NEVERconnect a power supply of more than 16 V DC through the optional CP-19R CIGARETTE LIGHTER CABLEto the DC 11V jack to prevent damaging the transceiver. NEVERconnect the transceiver to a power source using reverse polarity. This will ruin the transceiver. NEVERcut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged. NEVERexpose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. The transceiver may be damaged. NEVERoperate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or ruin the transceiver. NEVERattempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be aware that external DC power connections will charge batter- ies inside the battery case. This will damage not only the bat- tery case but also the transceiver. DO NOTpush the PTT when not actually desiring to trans- mit.

BE CAREFUL!The transceiver will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods. AVOIDusing or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below 10C (+14F) or above +60C (+140F). Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children. AVOIDthe use of chemical agents such as benzine or al- cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceivers surfaces. 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 (Li-Ion: BP-227) or installed batteries will be- come exhausted. 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.
