R WARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits
Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be
observed when operating this device. If you have any
questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards
please refer to the Federal Communications Commission
Office of Engineering and Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).
R WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER attach an
antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn.
R NEVER apply AC to the [DC13.8V] socket on the
transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage
the transceiver.
R NEVER apply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 V
battery, to the [DC13.8V] jack on the transceiver rear
panel. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R NEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any in-
ternal part or connectors on the rear panel of the transceiver. This may result in an electric shock.
R NEVER connect or use the HM-151 (microphone)
with other transceiver. This could cause damage to the
transceiver. The HM-151 is designed for use with the IC7000 ONLY
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F).
Be aware that temperatures on a vehicle’s dashboard can
exceed +80°C (+176°F), resulting in permanent damage
to the transceiver if left there for extended periods.
AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight.
AVOID placing the transceiver against walls or putting
anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat
dissipation.
Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by
children.
During mobile operation, NEVER place the transceiver
where air bag deployment may be obstructed.
During mobile operation, DO NOT place the transceiver
where hot or cold air blows directly onto it.
During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver
without running the vehicle’s engine. When the transceiver’s power is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF,
the vehicle’s battery will soon become exhausted.
Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before starting
the vehicle. This will avoid possible damage to the transceiver by ignition voltage spikes.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiver
and microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indications.
BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when operating the transceiver continuously for long periods.
BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplifier is connected, set the
transceiver’s RF output power to less than the linear amplifier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear amplifier will be damaged.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other
manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments, and connection to the IC-7000 may damage the
transceiver.
Beat signals may be heard on some frequencies.
These will occur as a result of circuit construction.
For U.S.A. only
Caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver,
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your
authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

q AF GAIN CONTROL [AF(
SET
)] (inner control; p. 33)
➥ Rotate to vary the audio output level from the
speaker or headphones.
Push momentarily to enter the set mode menu.
•Push again to exit the set mode menu.
➥ Push and hold for 1 sec. to toggle between the
frequency display mode or TV mode.
w RF GAIN CONTROL/SQUELCH CONTROL
[RF/SQL] (outer control; p. 35)
Adjusts the RF gain and squelch threshold level.
The squelch, when closed, mutes the speaker or
headphones when no signal is received, reducing
noise.

✔
What is the PBT control?
PBT electronically narrows the IF passband width to reject
interference. This transceiver uses DSP to implement PBT.
➥ While M-ch/RIT is selected:
●
●

channel number (p. 102).
●
●

●
●
While the RIT/∂TX mode is OFF:
Rotates outer control to select a memory bank
(p. 106).
●
●
While the RIT/∂TX is ON:
Rotate outer control to shift the receive or
transmit frequency (pgs. 75, 88).
•“ ” or “ ” indicators appear when the RIT or
∂TX function is activate, respectively.
•The shift frequency range is ± 9.999 kHz in 1 Hz
steps (or ±9.99 kHz in 10 Hz steps).
•When the RIT or ∂TX function is ON, push and
hold [F-1
RIT
] or [F-2
∂TX
] for 1 sec. to add or
subtract the frequency shift to the display frequency.
✔
What is the RIT function?
RIT (Receiver Incremental Tuning) shifts the receive frequency without shifting the transmit frequency.
This is useful for fine tuning for stations calling you off frequency or when you prefer to listen to slightly differentsounding voice characteristics, etc.
✔
What is the ∂TX function?
The ∂TX shifts the transmit frequency without shifting the receive frequency. This is useful for simple split frequency operation in CW, etc.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
■ Unpacking
After unpacking, immediately report any damage to the
delivering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping cartons.
For a description and a diagram of accessory equipment included with the IC-7000, see ‘Supplied accessories’ on p. i-1 of this manual.
■ Selecting a location
Select a location for the transceiver that allows adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or
vibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna elements, radios and other electromagnetic sources.
The base of the transceiver has an adjustable stand
for desktop use. Set the stand to one of two angles depending on your operating conditions. (see description
on right hand page)
■ Grounding
To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems, ground the transceiver through the GROUND
terminal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap
to a long, buried copper rod. Make the distance between the [GND] terminal and ground as short as possible.
R WARNING: NEVER connect the [GND] ter-
minal to a gas pipe or electric conduit, since the
connection could cause an explosion or electric
shock.
■ Antenna connection
For radio communications the antenna is of critical importance for output power and sensitivity. Use wellmatched 50-ohm antennas and coaxial feedline. An
SWR (standing wave radio) of 1.5:1 or lower is recommended when transmitting.
CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from lightning
by using a lightning arrestor.
ANTENNA SWR
Each antenna is tuned for a specified frequency
range and SWR increases outside that range. When
the SWR is higher than approx. 2.0 : 1, the transceiver’s power drops to protect the final transistors.
In this case, an antenna tuner is used to match the
transceiver and antenna. Low SWR allows full power
for transmitting even when using the antenna tuner.
The IC-7000 has an SWR meter to monitor the antenna SWR continuously.
