IMPORTANT
READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUALCAREFULLY
before attempting to operate thetransceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
Thismanual contains important safety and operating in-structions for the IC-718.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONSPRECAUTIONS
Versions of the IC-718 which display the “CE”symbolon the serial number seal comply with the Europeanharmonised standard ETS300 684 JAN.1997 (EMCproduct standard for Commercially Available AmateurRadio Equipment).
WORD
R
WARNINGCAUTIONNOTEDEFINITION
Personal injury, fire hazard or electricshock may occur.Inconvenience only.No risk of personal injury, fire orelectric shock.Equipment damage may occur.
R
WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER
attachan antenna or internal antenna connector during trans-mission.This may result in an electric shock or burn.
R
NEVER
apply AC to the [DC13.8V] jack on thetransceiver rear panel.This could cause a
fi
re or ruinthe transceiver.
R
NEVER
apply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 Vbattery, to the [DC13.8V] jack on the transceiver rearpanel.This could cause a
fi
re or ruin the transceiver.
R
NEVER
let metal, wire or other objects touch anyinternal part or connectors on the rear panel of thetransceiver.This may result in an electric shock.
NEVER
expose the transceiver to rain, snow or anyliquids.
AVOID
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 (+176
°
F), resulting in per-manent damage to the transceiver if left there for ex-tended periods.
AVOID
placing the transceiver in excessively dusty en-vironments or in direct sunlight.
AVOID
placing the transceiver against walls or puttinganything on top of the transceiver.This will obstructheat dissipation.During mobile operation,
DO NOT
operate 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 transceiverand microphone as far away as possible from the mag-netic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indica-tions.
BE CAREFUL!
The heatsink will become hot when op-erating the transceiver continuously for long periods.
BE CAREFUL!
If a linear amplifier is connected, setthe transceiver
’
s RF output power to less than the lin-ear ampli
fi
er
’
s maximum input level, otherwise, the lin-ear ampli
fi
er will be damaged.Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional).Other manufacturer
’
s microphones have different pinassignments, and connection to the IC-718 may dam-age the transceiver.
