ICOM 398000 Manuale Utente

CAUTION: DO NOT expose the transceiver to rain, snow or 

any liquids. The transceiver meets IP67 requirements for dust-

protection and splash resistance. However, once the transceiver 

has been dropped, dust protection and splash resistance cannot be 

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

the waterproof seal damaged, and so on. 
DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas 

outside of the specified temperature range:

Operating temperature range: –30°C (–22˚F) ~ +60°C (+140˚F)
Keep the transceiver in a secure place to prevent use by 

unauthorized persons.

BE CAREFUL! Even if the volume level is set low, the beeps of the 

Man Down, Lone Worker and MOB functions are very loud.

DANGER! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. 

Shorting may occur if the terminals touch metal objects such 

as a key, so be careful when placing the battery packs (or the 

transceiver) in bags, and so on. Carry them so that shorting cannot 

occur with metal objects. Shorting may damage not only the battery 

pack, but also the transceiver.

R 

DANGER! NEVER use or charge Icom battery packs with non-

Icom transceivers or non-Icom chargers. Only Icom battery packs 

are tested and approved for use with Icom transceivers or charged 

with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or 

chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.

R 

DANGER! NEVER operate the transceiver near unshielded 

electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

R 

WARNING! 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 vertical.

R 

WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset 

or other audio accessories at high volume levels. The continuous 

high volume operation may cause a ringing in your ears. If you 

experience the ringing, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.
CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol 

when cleaning. This could damage the equipment surfaces. If the 

surface becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in excessively 

dusty environments. This could damage the transceiver.
