• NEVER disassemble, modify or repair the AP-95M. This may result in an electrical shock, cause a fire or damage the AP-95M.
• NEVER install the AP-95M in a wet place or outside. This may result in an electrical shock, cause a fire or damage the AP-95M.
• NEVER operate or touch the AP-95M with wet hands. This may result in an electrical shock or damage the AP-95M.
• NEVER connect the ground terminal to a gas or electric pipe. This may result in an electrical shock or cause a fire.
• NEVER use the AP-95M during a thunder and lightning storm. Using it may result in an electrical shock, cause a fire or damage the AP-95M. Always disconnect the power adapter before a storm.
• Immediately disconnect the power adapter if the AP-95M emits an abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor for advice.
• NEVER put the AP-95M in any unstable place (such as on a slanted surface or vibrating place). This may cause injury and/or damage to the AP-95M.

CAUTION:

• NEVER install the AP-95M in a place without air vents. Heat dissipation may be reduced, and this could damage the AP-95M.
• DO NOT use the AP-95M near a television or radio. This could cause harmful interferences.
• DO NOT use or place the AP-95M in areas with temperatures below –10ç (+14ƒ) or above +55ç (+131ƒ).
• DO NOT place the AP-95M in direct sunlight. This could damage the AP-95M.
• DO NOT use the AP-95M in strong magnetic fields or in an area with high static electricity. This could damage the AP-95M.
• Disconnect the power adapter when you will not use the AP-95M for a long period of time.
• DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol to clean the AP-95M, as they can damage the AP-95M’s surfaces. If the AP-95M becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a dry, soft cloth.
• Always place the AP-95M in a secure place to avoid inadvertent contact with children.

For the power adapter
WARNING!

• NEVER use the power adapter with any device other than the AP-95M. This may result in an electrical shock, cause a fire or damage the power adapter.
• NEVER connect the adapter into an outlet that is not between 100 V and 240 V AC. Otherwise, this may result in an electrical shock, cause a fire or damage the power adapter. R WARNING!
• NEVER install the power adapter to wet place outside or near a humidifier. This may result in an electrical shock, cause a fire or damage the power adapter.
• NEVER put something heavy on the power adapter cable. This may result in an electrical shock, cause a fire or damage the power adapter.
• NEVER modify, bend by force, twist, pull or heat the power adapter’s cable. This may result in an electrical shock, cause a fire or damage the power adapter.
• NEVER touch the power adapter with wet hands. This may result in an electrical shock or damage the power adapter.
• NEVER use or place the power adapter and connection cable where they could be inadvertently used by children. This may result in an electrical shock or cause injury.

Other precautions

• For information about operating the PC or external devices, refer to their instruction manuals for details.
• The optional power adapter may at some time need to be replaced, depending on its life expectancy. The life of a power adapter differs according to the environment or condition in which the adapter is used.
• We recommend replacement when it has been used for approximately 5 years (When used under the ambient temperature of 25°C: 77°F). Contact your local dealer for details.

WIRELESS LAN INFORMATION

Precautions on using the wireless LAN
For the Canadian version

• Operation of this device in the 5150 ~ 5250 MHz frequency range is restricted to indoor operation only.
• Outdoor operation in the 5150 ~ 5250 MHz frequency range is prohibited.

For all versions

• This product has the frequency range approved only for indoor use. Follow the restrictions of the laws and regulations of each country.

• We recommend that users with pacemakers take precautions to be sure that this device does not cause them a problem because of electromagnetic interferences.

• Do not use this device near microwave ovens.
  A microwave oven may cause electromagnetic interference to the communications through this device.

• Do not modify the device. The device warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.

Communicating with the 40/80 MHz bandwidth

• When you are using the 40 MHz or 80 MHz bandwidth mode on the wireless LAN, first check the radio wave environment around in order to not to interfere other radio stations.
• In case you have harmfully interfered a radio station using this device, set the “Bandwidth” to “20 MHz (default).”
  • Refer to the instruction manual on the Icom website about the bandwidth details.

Wireless LAN installation location
Have the following installation conditions under consideration so that the communication range and speed are not affected.

• Data communication errors may occur if the wireless LAN terminal and this device are too close to each other. Keep them at least 1 meter (3.3 ft) away from each other.
• Install the device in as open a place as possible indoors.
• Install the device in a stable place where there is no danger of falling or vibration.
• Do not place anything on top of this device.
• The communication range expands in an open space. However, in such location as warehouses with metallic walls, the walls may cause the radio waves to reflect. Radio waves may pass through a wall or window, but not through metal.
• Some concrete walls are metal reinforcing structures, and may intercept the communication.
• Heat absorbing glass or IR reflecting glass may intercept the communication.
• Communication may not be able to be performed with a wireless LAN installed on a different floor.
