and operated by the U.S. Department of
defense. The Department is responsible for
accuracy and maintenance of the system.
Any changes by the Department may affect
the accuracy and function of the GPS
system.

■ Recommendation

CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER
THOROUGHLY IN A BOWL OF FRESH
WATER after exposure to saltwater,
and dry it before operating. Otherwise,
the transceiver's keys, switches, and
controllers may become unusable, due
to salt crystallization, and/or the charging
terminals of the battery pack may corrode.
NOTE: If the transceiver's waterproof
protection appears defective, carefully clean
it with a soft, damp (fresh water) cloth, then
dry it before operating. The transceiver may
lose its waterproof protection if the case, jack
cap, or connector cover is cracked or broken,
or the transceiver has been dropped. Contact
your Icom distributor or your dealer for advice.
