This instruction
manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for the IC-706MKIIG.
R
WWAARRNNIINNGG HHIIGGHH VVOOLLTTAAGGEE!! NNEEVVEERR
attach an antenna or internal antenna connector dur-
ing transmission. This may result in an electrical shock
or burn.
R
NNEEVVEERR
apply AC to the [DC13.8V] socket on the
transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or ruin
the transceiver.
R
NNEEVVEERR
apply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 V
battery, to the [DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver
rear panel. This could cause a fire or ruin the transceiv-
er.
R
NNEEVVEERR
let metal, wire or other objects touch any
internal part or connectors on the rear panel of the
transceiver. This will cause electric shock.
R
NNEEVVEERR
expose the transceiver to rain, snow or
any liquids.
NNEEVVEERR
allow children to play with the transceiver.
AAVVOOIIDD
using or placing the transceiver in areas with
temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F). Be aware that temperatures on a vehicle’s
dashboard can exceed 80°C, resulting in permanent
damage to the transceiver’s front panel if left there for
extended periods.
AAVVOOIIDD
placing the transceiver in excessively dusty
environments or in direct sunlight.
AAVVOOIIDD
placing the transceiver against walls or putting
anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct
heat dissipation.
During mobile operation,
DDOO NNOOTT
operate the trans-
ceiver without running the vehicle’s engine. When
transceiver power is ON and your vehicle’s engine is
OFF, 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 the
transceiver by ignition voltage spikes.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiv-
er and microphone as far away as possible from the
magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous
indications.
BBEE CCAARREEFFUULL!!
The heatsink will become hot when
operating the transceiver continuously for long peri-
ods.
BBEE CCAARREEFFUULL!!
If a linear amplifier is connected, set
the 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 pin
assignments and connection to the IC-706MKIIG may
damage the transceiver.
Beat signals may be heard on some frequencies.
These will occur as a result of circuit construction.
For U.S.A. only
CCaauuttiioonn::
Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not
expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority
to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.
