This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock. NEVER connect other than the specifi ed AC adapter to the receiver. This

9、 connection will ruin the receiver. NEVERconnect the receiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection will ruin the receiver. NEVERallow children to touch the receiver. NEVERexpose the receiver to rain, snow or any liquids. DO NOTuse or place the receiver in ar

AVOIDthe use of chemical agents such as benzine or al- cohol when cleaning, as they damage the receiver surfaces. For U.S.A. only (FCC

11、 information) CAUTION:Changes or modifications to this receiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to oper- ate this receiver under FCC regulations. Class B digital device users This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital devi

12、ce, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment gen- erates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not in- stalled and used in accordance with the instruction

13、s, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, th

14、e user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver

15、is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. For Canada only Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any in- terference, including interference that may cause undesired ope

Connecting a poor quality antenna to the IC-PCR1000 wil

19、l re- sult in less than optimum performance. Select antenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 antenna and feedline. 1.5:1 of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is recommended for a desired band. Of course, the antenna line should be a coaxial cable. CAUTION:Protect your receiver from lightning by using

20、a lightning arrestor. NOTE: The supplied antenna is a simple plain antenna which may not obtain indicated specifi cations. To obtain maximum performance from the IC-PCR1000, you must purchase an external wide band antenna such as an optional Icom AH-7000 (251300 MHz), etc. Contact your nearest Icom

21、Dealer or Service Center for re- garding optimum antenna locations. The antenna connector type is BNC, so an adapter may be necessary to connect an optional antenna. IGrounding RWARNING: NEVERuse a gas pipe or electrical conduit pipe for grounding. To prevent accidents involving electricity and inte

22、rference from computers, ground the receiver through the GROUND terminal on the rear panel. For best results, connect a heavy gauge cable to a water pipe or long, earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance between the GND terminal and ground as short as possible. COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER iC- pcr1000 1I
