PRECAUTIONS
R DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn.
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! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention— anything less may result in an accident.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with an earphone, headphones or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.
R WARNING! NEVER apply AC power to the [DC13.8V] connector on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER apply more than 16 V DC to the [DC13.8V] connector on the transceiver rear panel or use reverse polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! 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.
R WARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any internal part or connectors on the rear panel of the transceiver. This may result in an electric shock or this could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or may damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! Immediately turn the transceiver power OFF and remove the power cable if it emits an abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor for advice.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings of the transceiver. This may reduce transceiver performance and/or damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol to clean the transceiver, as they will damage the transceiver’s surfaces. If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
DO NOT use or place 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.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissipation.
Place the transceiver 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 engine. 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 of time.
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-7100 may damage the transceiver.

*1 When the SEND terminal controls the inductive load (such as a relay), a counter-electromotive force can cause the transceiver’s malfunction or damage. To prevent this, we recommend adding a switching diode, such as an “1SS133,” on the load side of the circuit to the counter-electromotive force absorption.
When the diode is added, a switching delay of the relay may occur. Be sure to check its switching action before operation.

2 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Selecting a location
Select a location for the transceiver that allows adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, vibrations, away from TV sets, TV antenna elements, radios and other electromagnetic sources.
The base of the transceiver has adjustable feet for desktop use. Set the feet to one of two angles, to meet your operating preference.
Slide in the direction of arrow.

Grounding
To prevent electrical shock, television interference (TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems, ground the transceiver using the GROUND terminal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heaviest gauge wire or strap to a long ground 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 or electric pipe, since the connection 
could cause an explosion or electric shock.
Antenna connection
For radio communications, the antenna is of critical importance, along with output power and receiver sensitivity. Select a well-matched 50 ø antenna and coaxial cable feedline.We recommend 1.5:1 or better of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) on your operating bands. The transmission line should be a coaxial cable.
When using a single antenna (for the HF, 50/70 MHz bands), use the [ANT1] connector.
CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from lightning by 
using a lightning arrestor.
Antenna SWR
Each antenna is tuned for a specified frequency range and the SWR usually increases outside the range. When the SWR is higher than approximately 2.0:1, the transceiver automatically reduces the TX power to protect the final transistors. In that case, an antenna tuner is useful to match the transceiver and antenna. Low SWR allows full power for transmitting. The IC-7100 has an SWR meter to continuously monitor the antenna SWR.
Antenna connection
Connect the cable from an HF, 50/70 MHz antenna to the [ANT 1] connector.
Connect the cable from a 144/430MHz antenna to the [ANT 2] connector.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 2
Connect controller to transceiver
The Main unit becomes hot when transmitted for long period of time.
DO NOT place anything on the transceiver. It may obstruct radiation and cause mechanical trouble.
Using Ferrite EMI filter*
Depending on the installed condition of the transceiver, malfunction may occur by the wraparound of the electric wave. This problem can be resolved by using the Ferrite EMI filter.
*The filter connection is required for the European versions.
