READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY before attempting to operate the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUALThis manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the IC-M700PRO SSB RADIO TELEPHONE.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

The explicit definitions described below apply to this instruction manual.
DEFINITION Personal injury, fire hazard or electric RWARNING shock may occur. CAUTION NOTE Equipment damage may occur. If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, re or electric shock. WORD

PRECAUTIONS

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet directly. This may pose a re hazard or result in an electric shock. In maritime mobile operation, KEEP the transceiver and microphone as far away as possible (at least 1 m) from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indications. USE an Icom microphone and/or handset only (supplied or optional). Other brands may have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with temperatures below 20C (4F) or above +60C (+140F). AVOID connecting the transceiver to a power source using reverse polarity. This connection will not only blow fuses but may also damage the transceiver. AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight. AVOID placing the transceiver against walls or putting anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissipation.
RWARNING! NEVER mount the transceiver overhead. The weight of the transceiver is approximately 8 kg., but its apparent weight will increase several fold due to wave shocks and vibration. The transceiver must be mounted on a at hard surface only.
NEVER connect a power source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 volt battery. This connection will ruin the transceiver. NEVER allow children to play with equipment containing a radio transmitter. NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. NEVER install the IC-M700PRO into a plus-grounding ship. Such a connection might blow fuses and is not usable. DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzene or alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceivers surfaces.
