tery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface of the battery does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may rupture or catch ﬁre.

• R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas

with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature buildup in the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture or catch ﬁre. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery performance or shorten battery life.

• R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow,

seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. The battery is not waterproof.

• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery pack since in-

ternal battery gas may cause it to rupture, or may cause an explosion.

• R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals. This may

cause heat generation, and the battery may rupture, emit smoke or catch ﬁre.

• R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for

which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other equipment, or for any purpose that is not speciﬁed in this instruction manual.

• R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your

eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.

• WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an

abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distributor.

• WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part

of the body that comes into contact with ﬂuid from inside the battery.

Misuse of LiTHIUM-ion batteries may result in the following hazards: smoke, ﬁre, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery performance.

BATTERY CHARGING

• WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven,

high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause a ﬁre, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture.

• CAUTION!Always use the battery within the speciﬁed tem-

perature range for the transceiver (–10˚C to +60˚C; +14˚F to +140˚F) and the battery itself (–20˚C to +60˚C; –4˚F to +140˚F). Using the battery out of its speciﬁed temperature range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life. Please note that the speciﬁed temperature range of the battery may exceed that of the transceiver. In such cases, the transceiver may not work properly because it is out of its operating temperature range.

• CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is

left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above +50˚C; +122˚F) for an extended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharging. You may use the battery until the battery indicator shows half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature between –20˚C to +20˚C (–4˚F to +68˚F).

Charging caution

• R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with

extremely high temperatures, such as near ﬁres or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the battery to stop charging.

• WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the bat-

tery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the battery is not completely charged by the speciﬁed time, stop charging and remove the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the battery beyond the speciﬁed time limit may cause a ﬁre, overheating, or the battery may rupture.

• WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery attached

to the transceiver) into the charger if it is wet or soiled. This could corrode the battery charger terminals or damage the charger. The charger is not waterproof.

• CAUTION! DO NOT charge the battery outside of the spec-

ified temperature range: +5˚C to +35˚C (+41˚F to +95˚F). Icom recommends charging the battery at +20˚C (+68˚F). The battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified temperature range. Additionally, battery performance or battery life may be reduced.

MEMORY/CALL CHANNELS

■ General description

The IC-E7 has 1050 memory channels including 50 scan edge memory channels (25 pairs) for storage of often-used frequencies. And a total of 18 memory banks, A to H, J, L, N, O to R, T, U and Y are available for storing groups of frequencies, etc. Up to 100 channels can be assigned into a bank.

Memory channel contents

The following information can be programmed into memory channels:

• Operating frequency (p. 11)

• Operating mode (p. 14)

• Duplex direction (DUP or –DUP) with an offset frequency (pgs. 19, 20)

• Subaudible tone encoder (p. 22), tone squelch or DTCS squelch ON/OFF (p. 45)

• Subaudible tone frequency (p. 21), tone squelch frequency or DTCS code with polarity (pgs. 46, 47)

• Scan skip information (p. 39).

PRIORITY WATCH

■ Priority watch types

Priority watch checks for signals on a frequency every 5 sec. while operating on a VFO frequency or scanning. The transceiver has 3 priority watch types to suit your needs.

The watch resumes according to the selected scan resume condition. See the page at left for details.

NOTES:

If the pocket beep function is activated, the transceiver automatically selects the tone squelch function when priority watch starts.

About priority beep function

When receiving a signal on the priority frequency, you can be alerted with beeps and a blinking “S.” This function can be activated when setting the priority watch function ON.

MEMORY CHANNEL WATCH

While operating on a VFO frequency, priority watch checks for a signal on the selected memory channel every 5 sec.

•Amemory channel with skip information can be watched.

MEMORY SCAN WATCH

While operating on a VFO frequency, priority watch checks for signals on each memory channel in sequence.

TONE SQUELCH AND POCKET BEEP

By monitoring a signal that is being operated with pocket beep, tone or DTCS squelch function, you can determine the tone frequency or DTCS code necessary to open a squelch.

qSet the frequency to be checked for a tone frequency or

code.

wTurn the desired tone type ON in set mode; “TONE” (re-

peater tone), “TSQL” (tone squelch) or “DTCS” (DTCS squelch).

•To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].

r When the CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit DTCS code is

matched, the squelch opens and the tone frequency or code is temporarily programmed into the selected condition, such as a memory channel.

• The tone scan pauses when a CTCSS tone frequency or 3-digit DTCS code is detected.

✔

CONVENIENT!

Even if no tone type is selected, pushing and holding [CALL] (

Dial select step

Select the tuning step while pushing and holding [FUNC] from 100 kHz, 1 MHz (default) and 10 MHz.

Offset frequency

Sets the offset frequency for duplex (repeater) operation for each frequency band independently within 0 to 159.995 MHz range. During duplex operation (–DUP or +DUP), the offset frequency shifts the transmit frequency (or while [SQL] (

ATT•SET

) is pushed).

The default value may differ according to the selected frequency band (before accessing set mode) and transceiver version.

The selected tuning step in VFO mode is used for setting

the offset frequency.

Tone selection

Sets the tone encoder, tone squelch or DTCS squelch operation and pocket beep capability, when waiting for the desired signal.

• OFF : Regular noise squelch operation. (default)

•TONE : Using tone encoder. Some repeaters require subaudible tones to be accessed.

• TSQL : Using tone squelch. The squelch opens only when a signal with matched subaudible tone is received.

•PBEEP : In addition to the “TSQL” setting, alert beeps will sound when a signal with matched tone is received.

• DTCS : Using DTCS squelch. The squelch opens only when a signal with matched DTCS code is received.

•PDTCS : In addition to the “DTCS” setting, alert beeps will sound when a signal with matched DTCS code is received.

The subaudible tone frequency and DTCS code are programmed as the tone frequency and DTCS code items, respectively.
