IMPORTANT AHEAD ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver, SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This Instruction manual contains important: safety and operating instructions for the IC-2IA/E and Note that this instruction manual applies only to those functions accessible in it's factory-shipped state.
¢ Power ON Push and hold [POWER)] for 1 sec. to turn power ON. The power key may not function when the transceiver has not been operated for 2 months or mar as the internal rechargeable backup battery may have become empty.: In this case. activate the CPU ‘as described below, Push and hold [POWER] for 1 sec. again to turn power OFF, For the battery pack type; While pushing the [FUN] key, insert the DC plug of the supplied charger into a {DC12.
Hi CAUTIONS NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlast or toa power source of more than 16 V.DC. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using reverse polarity. This connection will ruin the transceiver. NEVER allow children to touch the transceiver. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below —10°C (+ 14°F) or above £60°C (+ 140°F) BE CAREFUL! When transmitting for a long time with high output power, the rear panel may become hot.
