Icom iPW1 Car Amplifier User Manual


 
RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER
attach an antenna or internal antenna connector dur-
ing transmission. This may result in an electrical
shock or burn.
RWARNING! NEVER carry the linear amplifier
by yourself. At least two persons must carry the linear
amplifier since it weights approx. 25 kg (55 lb).
RWARNING! NEVER apply AC voltage until the
linear amplifier is grounded. Touching the linear ampli-
fier may result in an electrical shock.
RNEVER apply AC voltage that exceeds the sug-
gested voltage. This could cause a fire or ruin the
IC-PW1/EURO.
RNEVER use an extension cord with the AC power
cable. Extension cords may cause fire or electrical
shock.
RNEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any
internal part or connectors on the panel of the linear
amplifier. This will cause electric shock.
RNEVER expose the linear amplifier or remote con-
troller to rain, snow or any liquids.
NEVER allow children to play with the linear amplifi-
er or remote controller.
DO NOT operate the IC-PW1/EURO before adjusting
the [ALC adj1] and [ALC adj2] pots properly on the
rear panel of the linear amplifier.
AVOID using or placing the linear amplifier or remote
controller in areas with temperatures below –10°C
(+14°F) or above +40°C (+104°F).
AVOID placing the linear amplifier or remote controller
in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight.
AVOID placing the linear amplifier against walls or
putting anything on top of the linear amplifier. This will
obstruct heat dissipation.
BE CAREFUL! The linear amplifier will become hot
when operating if continuously for long periods.
BE CAREFUL! Set the transceiver’s (exciter’s) RF
output power to less than 100 W, otherwise, the IC-
PW1/EURO will be damaged.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the linear
amplifier, remote controller and microphone as far
away as possible from the magnetic navigation com-
pass to prevent erroneous indications.
The IC-PW1/EURO cannot be used with the AH-2
HF
AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER
