IMPORTANT
CAUTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL—This instruction man­ual contains important operating instructions for the IC-2710H.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
The explicit definitions below apply to this instruction manual.
WORD DEFINITION
RWARNING
CAUTION
NOTE
i
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
The IC-2710H Europe versions comply with essential re­quirements of the 89/336/EEC directive for Electromagnetic Compatibility. This compliance is based on conformity with the ETSI specification prEIS300 684 (EMC product standard for Commercially Available Amateur Radio Equipment).
than 16 V DC. This connection will ruin the transceiver.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using
reverse polarity. This connection will ruin the transceiver.
NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and
fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of
the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
NEVER let objects impede the operation of the cooling fan
on the rear panel.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment

containing a transmitter.
UNPACKING
During mobile operation, without running the vehicle’s engine. When transceiver power is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s battery will soon become exhausted.
DO NOT operate the transceiver
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F) or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver surfaces.
USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other
manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.

SCRATCH PAD MEMORY
What is a scratch pad
memory?
During VFO operation, the transceiver automatically memo­rizes operating frequency information, separate from regular memory channels, when transmitting on a new frequency. The 3 previously operated frequencies for each band can be recalled.
Calling up a scratch pad
memory
Select the call channel by pushing the desired band’s

To transmit on the scratch pad memory, select the desired band as the main band in advance.
Rotate the selected band’s tuning dial to select a scratch
pad memory.

When first applying power or after CPU resetting, scratch pad
memories contain no data and therefore cannot be accessed.

The 3rd scratch pad memory will be cleared when trans­mitting on a new frequency. If the transmit frequency is already stored in a scratch pad memory, the scratch pad memory is not cleared but the order is changed.

USING
Time-out timer
To prevent accidental prolonged transmission with the one­touch PTT function, etc., the transceiver has a time-out timer. This timer cuts a transmission OFF after 3, 5, 15 or 30 min. of continuous transmission. This timer can be cancelled (de­fault).
Approx. 10 sec. before the time-out timer passes, the trans­ceiver emits a beep tone as a warning.

OTHER FUNCTIONS
USING
Auto power-off
The auto power-off function conveniently turns the transceiver power OFF after a preset time in which no operations are per­formed. In this way, when you forget to turn the power OFF, the transceiver automatically turns itself OFF, thereby con­serving battery power.
The time can be set to 30 min., 1 hr., 2 hr. or turned OFF. The selected time is retained even when the transceiver is turned OFF via the auto power-off function. To cancel the function, select oF in step below.

Fuse replacement
If the fuse blows or the transceiver stops functioning, nd the source of the problem if possible, and replace the damaged fuse with a new, rated one (FGB 20 A) as shown in the dia­gram below.
Partial resetting
If you want to initialize the operating conditions without clear­ing the memory contents, etc., a partial reset function is avail­able for the transceiver. The partial reset can be performed independently for each band.
While pushing either left or right, or both [V/MHz] switches, turn power ON to partially reset the transceiver.
Initialized settings: VFO frequency, SET mode settings.Retained settings: Memory channels, call channels, offset
freq. in memory/call, DTMF memory, pager and code squelch settings, initial SET mode settings.
Resetting the transceiver
The function display may occasionally display erroneous in­formation, (e.g. when first applying power). This may be caused externally by static electricity or other factors.
If this problem occurs, turn power OFF. After waiting a few seconds, turn power ON again. If the problem persists, per­form the following procedure.
Partial resetting is alternatively available. See previous sec­tion for details.
CAUTION: Resetting the transceiver CLEARS all
memory information, and initializes all values in the trans­ceiver.
Push [POWER] to turn power OFF.While pushing both left and right [S.MW] switches, turn
power ON.
All LCD segments appear momentarily, the initial display appears and the transceiver is reset.
