[. . . ] 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. The linear amplifier will become hot when operating if continuously for long periods. [. . . ] If operation continues using this setup, damage (including the possibility of explosion) to the connected transceiver and/or IC-P2A-E/EURO will occur.

NOTE: When using the antenna selector of the IC-P2A-E/EURO while the power is OFF, as above, tuner intialization of the IC-P2A-E/EURO may not be performed correctly if the applied voltage is insufficient. Check that the applied voltage to pin 7 of [ACC-1]/[ACC-2] socket is 13. 8 V DC. 10 2 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS I Separating the remote controller The control section of the linear amplifier can be separated from the main body, doubling as a remote controller. w Set the 1st exciter's RF output power for the minimum output. e Be sure that the [ALC adj1] and [ALC adj2] pots on the rear panel max.

Program the exciter's address to use this capability as follows: For non-Icom exciters, the IC-P2A-E/EURO cannot be controlled using the CI-V function, so this setting is not necessary. For transceivers which have multiple antenna connectors for specified bands (e. g. IC-726, IC-729, etc. ), set the same as for 2 Icom exciters.
