IMPORTANT READ 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-W21A and IC-W21E. Note that this instruction manual applies only to those functions accessible in it’s factory-shipped state. " Eor operating more advanced functions; a booklet titled * Tech available from your com Dealer.
$ Power ON Push and hold [POWER] for 1 sec. to turn power ON; Push and held [POWER] for 1 sec. again to turn power OFF. The power key may not function when the transceiver has:not beer operated for 2 months or more as the internal rechargeable backup battery may have become empty. In this case, activate the CPU as described in the box: at right. *Activating the CPU (when the power does not come on) While pushing the [FUN] key, attach the charged battery pack. Then, turn power ON.
i CAUTIONS NEVER connect the transceiver to an AG outlet or to a power source of more than 18 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 or above +B0°C BE CAREFUL! When transmitting for 2 long time with high output power, the rear panel may become hot.
