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
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
The explicit definitions below apply to this instruction manual.
WORDDEFINITION
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

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.

■ Location
Select a location which can support the weight of the transceiver and does not interfere with driving in any way. We recommend the locations shown in the diagram below.
NEVER place the transceiver or remote controller where
normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where
it could cause bodily injury.
NEVER place the transceiver or remote controller where
air bag deployment may be obstructed.
DO NOT place the transceiver or remote controller where
hot or cold air blows directly onto it.
AVOID placing the transceiver or remote controller in di-
rect sunlight.
• EXAMPLE INSTALLATION LOCATIONS
■ Single body installation
➀ Drill 4 holes where the mounting bracket is to be installed.

The transeiver has 2 normal operating modes: VFO mode
and memory mode. You can select VFO mode or memory
mode independently on each band.
Push the desired band’s [V/MHz] to select VFO mode when
the transceiver is not in VFO mode.

the transmission quality is the same as usual. However,
the opposite band’s audio is muted, even when both
bands are reversed.
The para-watch function cannot be activated from

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
➀ Select the call channel by pushing the desired band’s
[M/CALL] once or twice. (A large “C” appears.)
• To transmit on the scratch pad memory, select the desired band
as the main band in advance.
➁ Rotate the selected band’s tuning dial to select a scratch
pad memory.
• Previously transmitted frequency and one of “L1–L3” appears.
• When first applying power or after CPU resetting, scratch pad
memories contain no data and therefore cannot be accessed.
➂ Push the selected band’s [V/MHz] or [M/CALL] to exit the
scratch pad memory.
• 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.
• When transmitting on a scratch pad memory, the scratch
pad memory becomes the 1st scratch pad memory and
the order is changed.

The pager functions can be used only when an optional

unattended.

RECEIVE ACCEPT AND INHIBIT
Code channels 1–5 can store the transmit codes for personal calls to other individuals and the group codes for
group calls.
The group codes should be programmed as “receive accept” (“” disappears) to receive all calls from group
members.
If transmit codes are not programmed as “receive inhibit,”
the transceiver accepts calls directed to other individuals
and your answer back may confuse other members in your
group—this is not a selective calling system. Therefore,
transmit codes should be programmed as “receive inhibit”

■ 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 ➃ below.

■ Fuse replacement
If the fuse blows or the transceiver stops functioning, find 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.

■ 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.
➀ Push [POWER] to turn power OFF.
➁ While pushing both left and right [S.MW] switches, turn
power ON.
• All LCD segments appear momentarily, the initial display appears
