SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This
manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the IC-F7000.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
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 at-
tach 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] jack on the
transceiver front 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 front 
panel. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R NEVERlet metal, wire or other objects touch any
internal part or connectors on the front panel of the 
transceiver. This may result in an electric shock.
R 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 en-
vironments 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, DO NOT operate the trans-
ceiver 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.
BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when
operating the transceiver continuously for long periods.
USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional).
Other manufacturer’s microphones have different pin 
assignments, and connection to the IC-F7000 may 
damage the transceiver.
DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver surface.
