IMPORTANT

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

7610. For the advanced operating instructions, see the Advanced Manual on the supplied CD.

FEATURES

• RF Direct Sampling System

The IC-7610 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.

• 2 identical receivers

The IC-7610 has 2 independent receiver circuits for the

Main and Sub bands.

• A built-in DIGI-SEL unit

Both the Main and Sub receivers have built-in DIGI-SEL

(digital preselector) units. These reject interfering signals.

• Real-Time Spectrum Scope

Displays the Main and Sub band conditions. It provides

class-leading performance in resolution, sweep speed and provides a 100 dB dynamic range.

• A built-in automatic antenna tuner

• Multi-function control for easy settings

• Extra large 7 inch touch screen color display

• External monitor connection with a DVI-D port

• BNC type RX IN/OUT connectors

• Class Leading RMDR and Phase Noise

Characteristics

• IP remote control capability with the optional

RS-BA1

PRECAUTIONS

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! NEVER operate the equipment if you notice an abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Immediately turn OFF the power and/or remove the DC power cable. 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.

CAUTION: DO NOT expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. They could damage the transceiver.

CAUTION: DO NOT change the internal settings of the transceiver. This may reduce transceiver performance and/ or damage the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized internal adjustments.

CAUTION: DO NOT install the equipment in a place without adequate ventilation, or block any cooling vents on the top, rear, sides or bottom of the transceiver or the cooling fan. Heat dissipation may be reduced and damage the transceiver.

CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning. This could damage the equipment surfaces. If the surface becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.

CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in areas with temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 50°C (122°F).

CAUTION: DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty environments, or in direct sunlight. This could damage the transceiver.

CAUTION: DO NOT set the transceiver’s RF output power

to more than a connected linear amplier’s maximum input level. Otherwise, the linear amplier will be damaged.

CAUTION: DO NOT use non-Icom microphones. Other microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.

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

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

Turn OFF the transceiver’s power and 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.

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.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Using the desktop stands

The transceiver has legs for desktop use.

z Pull-out the legs on both sides until they lock in

place.

NOTE: DO NOT hold the stand, dials and controls when you carry the transceiver. This may damage them.

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.

Never place the transceiver in areas such as:

• Temperatures below 0°C (+32°F) or above +50°C (+122°F).

• An unstable place that slopes or vibrates.

• In direct sunlight.

• High humidity and temperature environments.

• Dusty environments.

• Noisy environments.

Heat dissipation

• NEVER install the transceiver in a place without

adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be reduced, and the transceiver may be damaged.

• DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or put

anything on top of the transceiver. This may block

airow and overheat the transceiver.

• DO NOT touch the rear panel after transmitting

continuously for long periods of time. The panel 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.

RWARNING! NEVER connect the [GND] terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could cause an explosion or electric shock.

Connecting an external DC power supply

Be sure that the power supply power is OFF before connecting the DC power cable. We recommend using Icom’s optional PS-126 (13.8 V DC/25 A) power supply.

To disconnect, rmly push down

the locking tab and then pull the connector out of the socket.

the optional AH-2b or to a long wire antenna more than 7 m/23 ft long (usable between 3.5 and 50 MHz).

L See the AH-4 instruction manual for installation and

connection details.

L See the Advanced Manual for connecting the

optional AH-740 automatic antenna tuner.

NOTE:

• Before connecting, be sure to turn OFF the transceiver.

D Connecting a non-Icom linear amplier

See the illustration below to connect a non-Icom linear amplier.

L We recommend that you use a linear amplier with a specied input power of 100 watts or more. If you use an amplier with

a specied drive level of less than 100 watts, adjust the IC-7610’s output power to the specied level before transmitting. Otherwise the linear amplier may be damaged.
