RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER attach
an antenna or internal antenna connector during trans-
mission. 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.
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 ampli-
fier or remote controller.
DO NOT operate the IC-PW1 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 out-
put power to less than 100 W, otherwise, the IC-PW1
will be damaged.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the linear am-
plifier, remote controller and microphone as far away
as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to
prevent erroneous indications.
The IC-PW1 cannot be used with the AH-2 HF AUTO-
MATIC ANTENNA TUNER.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device,
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your
authority to operate this device under FCC regulations.
READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CAREFULLY before attempting to operate the lin-
ear amplifier.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This in-
struction manual contains important safety and oper-
ating instructions for the IC-PW1.
