Icom IC-M2A [5/32] Be careful

CAUTIONS

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an

AC outlet. This may pose a ﬁre hazard or result in an electric

shock.

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 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is verti-

cal.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source other

than the BP-223 or BP-224. Such a connection will ruin the

transceiver.

AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or

in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above

+60°C (+140°F).

KEEP the transceiver out of the reach of children.

KEEP the transceiver at least 0.9 meter (3.0 ft) away from

your vessel’s magnetic navigation compass.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver’s right-side panel will

become hot when operating continuously for long periods.

BE CAREFUL! The IC-M2A employs waterproof con-

struction, which corresponds to JIS waterproof speciﬁcation,

grade 7 (1 m; 3 ft depth for 30 min.). However, once the trans-

ceiver has been dropped, waterproofing cannot be guaran-

teed due to the fact that the transceiver may be cracked, or

the waterproof seal damaged, etc.

MAKE SURE the ﬂexible antenna and battery pack are

securely attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna and

battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside

of the transceiver to water will result in serious damage to the

transceiver.
