![iiRWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Caution should be observed when operating this device. If you have any questions re-garding RF exposure and safety standards, please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engi-neering and Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electro-magnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65)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 ver-tical.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 level or discontinue use.RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less may result in an accident.NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using reverse polarity. This will ruin the transceiver.DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.DO NOT push [PTT] unless you actually intend to trans-mit.BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods.DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4˚F) or above +60°C (+140˚F).Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children.DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzene or alco-hol to clean the transceiver, because they can damage the transceiver’s surfaces.PRECAUTIONS](https://usermanual.wiki/ICOM-orporated/325400.User-Manual-1/User-Guide-1203017-Page-3.png)
