NNEEVVEERRattach an antenna or internal antenna connector dur-ing transmission. This may result in an electrical shockor burn.RNNEEVVEERRapply AC to the [DC13.8V] socket on thetransceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or ruinthe transceiver.RNNEEVVEERRapply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 Vbattery, to the [DC13.8V] socket on the transceiverrear panel. This could cause a fire or ruin the transceiv-er.RNNEEVVEERRlet metal, wire or other objects touch anyinternal part or connectors on the rear panel of thetransceiver. This will cause electric shock.RNNEEVVEERRexpose the transceiver to rain, snow orany liquids.NNEEVVEERR allow children to play with the transceiver.AAVVOOIIDD using or placing the transceiver in areas withtemperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C(+140°F). Be aware that temperatures on a vehicle’sdashboard can exceed 80°C, resulting in permanentdamage to the transceiver’s front panel if left there forextended periods.AAVVOOIIDD placing the transceiver in excessively dustyenvironments or in direct sunlight.AAVVOOIIDD placing the transceiver against walls or puttinganything on top of the transceiver. This will obstructheat dissipation.During mobile operation, DDOO NNOOTToperate the trans-ceiver without running the vehicle’s engine. Whentransceiver power is ON and your vehicle’s engine isOFF, the vehicle’s battery will soon become exhausted.Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before start-ing the vehicle. This will avoid possible damage to thetransceiver by ignition voltage spikes.During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiv-er and microphone as far away as possible from themagnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneousindications.BBEE CCAARREEFFUULL!!The heatsink will become hot whenoperating the transceiver continuously for long peri-ods.BBEE CCAARREEFFUULL!!If a linear amplifier is connected, setthe transceiver’s RF output power to less than the lin-ear amplifier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the lin-ear amplifier will be damaged.Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional).Other manufacturer’s microphones have different pinassignments and connection to the IC-706MKIIG maydamage the transceiver.Beat signals may be heard on some frequencies.These will occur as a result of circuit construction.For U.S.A. onlyCCaauuttiioonn::Changes or modifications to this transceiver, notexpressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authorityto operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.iThe explicit definitions described below apply to thisinstruction manual.WWOORRDDDDEEFFIINNIITTIIOONNRWWAARRNNIINNGGPersonal injury, fire hazard or electricshock may occur.CCAAUUTTIIOONNEquipment damage may occur.NNOOTTEEIf disregarded, inconvenience only.
