ABOUT CE

Thank you for choosing this Icom product. The IC-7300 HF/50 MHz TRANSCEIVER is designed and built with Icom’s

Previous view

state of the art technology and craftsmanship. With proper care, this product should provide you with years of trouble-free operation. We appreciate you making the IC-7300 your transceiver of choice, and hope you agree

with Icom’s philosophy of “technology rst.” Many hours of research and development went into the design of

your IC-7300.

IMPORTANT

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully completely before using the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL— This instruction manual contains full operating instructions for the IC-7300

FEATURES

• RF Direct Sampling System

The IC-7300 employs an RF direct sampling system.

RF signals are directly converted to digital data and processed in the FPGA. This system is a leading technology marking an epoch in amateur radio.

• Real-Time Spectrum Scope

The spectrum scope is class-leading in resolution,

sweep speed and dynamic range. When you touch the scope screen on the intended signal, the touched area is

magnied. The large 4.3 inch color TFT touch LCD offers

intuitive operation.

• New “IP+” Function

The new IP Plus function improves 3rd order intercept

point (IP3) performance. When a weak signal is received adjacent to strong interference, the AD converter is optimized against signal distortion.

• Class Leading RMDR and Phase Noise

Characteristics

The RMDR is improved to about 97dB (typical value) and

Phase Noise characteristics are also improved about 15dB (at 1 kHz frequency separation) compared to the IC-7200.

• A 4.3 inch touch screen color display

• A built-in automatic antenna tuner

• Multi-function control for easy settings

FCC INFORMATION

Previous view

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING: MODIFICATION OF THIS DEVICE TO RECEIVE CELLULAR RADIOTELEPHONE SERVICE SIGNALS IS PROHIBITED UNDER FCC RULES AND FEDERAL LAW.

CAUTION: Changes or modications to this device, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your

PRECAUTIONS

Previous view

R DANGER HIGH RF VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an antenna or antenna connector while transmitting. This could cause an electrical shock or burn.

R DANGER! NEVER operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. This could cause an explosion and death.

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

Ofce 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 with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. If you experience a ringing in your ears,reduce the volume or discontinue use.

R WARNING! NEVER apply AC power to the [DC13.8V]

socket on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a re

or damage the transceiver.

R WARNING! NEVER apply more than 16 V DC to the [DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver rear panel. This could

cause a re or damage the transceiver.

R WARNING! NEVER reverse the DC power cable

polarity. This could cause a re or damage the transceiver.

R WARNING! NEVER remove the fuse holder on the DC power cable. Excessive current caused by a short could

cause a re or damage the transceiver.

R WARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other objects contact the inside of the transceiver, or make incorrect contact with connectors on the rear panel. This could cause an electric shock or damage the transceiver.

R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This could cause an electric shock or damage to the transceiver.

R WARNING! Immediately turn OFF the transceiver power and remove the DC power cable from the transceiver if it emits an abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor for advice.

R WARNING! NEVER put the transceiver on an unstable place where the transceiver may suddenly move or fall. This could cause an injury or damage the transceiver.

R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause

a re or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the

power source and antenna before a storm.

CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.

CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings of the transceiver. This could reduce transceiver performance and/or damage to the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized internal adjustments.

CAUTION: NEVER install or place the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation, or block any cooling vents on the top, rear, sides or bottom of the transceiver. Heat dissipation may be reduced and damage the transceiver.

CAUTION: NEVER use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.

CAUTION: NEVER leave the transceiver in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F) for mobile operations.

CAUTION: NEVER place the transceiver in excessively dusty environments. This could damage the transceiver.

DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting anything on top of the transceiver. This may overheat the transceiver.

BE CAREFUL! The Main unit will become hot when operating the transceiver continuously for long periods of time.

CAUTION: If you use a linear amplier, set the

transceiver’s RF output power to less than the linear

amplier’s maximum input level, otherwise a high input could damage the linear amplier.

CAUTION: Use only Icom supplied or optional microphones. Other manufacturer’s microphones may have different pin assignments, and could damage the connector and/or the transceiver.

NEVER leave the transceiver in an insecure place to avoid use by unauthorized persons.

Turn OFF the transceiver’s power and/or disconnect the AC power cable when you will not use the transceiver for a long period of time.

Turn OFF the transceiver’s power and/or disconnect the DC power cable when you will not use the transceiver for long period of time.

The LCD display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small dark or light spots. This is not a malfunction or defect, but a normal characteristic of LCD displays.

Selecting a location

Select a location for the transceiver that allows adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold or vibrations, and other electromagnetic sources.

The transceiver has a stand for desktop use.

Stand

CAUTION: NEVER carry the transceiver by holding the stand, dials, controls and so on. This may damage them.

Heat dissipation

• DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or put anything on top of the transceiver. This may block

airow and overheat the transceiver.

• NEVER install the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be reduced, and the transceiver may be damaged.

• DO NOT touch the transceiver after transmitting continuously for long periods of time. The transceiver may become hot.

Grounding

To prevent electrical shock, television interference (TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems, ground the transceiver using the ground terminal [GND] on the rear panel.

For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap to a long ground rod. Make the distance between the [GND] terminal and ground as short as possible.

[MIC] (Microphone) connector

SM-50

(Option)

Using an External Keypad

You can control the CW memory keyer, Voice memory or RTTY memory keyer transmission from an external keypad by connecting the control circuit to the [MIC] connector.
