READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY before attempting to operate the
transceiver.
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 re 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.
PRECAUTION

RF gain setting
The receiver gain can be reduced with the RF gain setting. This may help to remove undesired weak sig­nals while monitoring strong signals.
Usually, the AGC function reduces the RF gain ac­cording to the receive signal strength and these weak signals are removed. However, during no signal re­ception, these weak signals may not be heard.
In such cases, the RF gain may be useful for setting a minimum level at which to hear signals.
q Push [I/O] to enter the Quick set mode while trans-
ceiver’s power is ON.
w Push [] or [√] to select ‘RF GAIN.’

CONNECTION AND INSTALLATION
7
Ground connection
The transceiver and antenna tuner MUST have an adequate RF ground connection. Otherwise, the over­all efciency of the transceiver and antenna tuner in­stallation will be reduced. Electrolysis, electrical shocks and interference from other equipment could also occur.
For best results, use 50 or 75 mm (2 or 3 inches) wide copper strap and make the connection as short as possible. Ground the transceiver and antenna tuner to one ground point, otherwise the voltage difference (in RF level) between 2 ground points may cause electrolysis.
R WARNING— When grounding to a metal hull
Use Zinc anodes to protect the hull from electroly­sis.
Ask your technical dealer, installer or refer to a technical book, etc., for RF grounding details.
Ground system example
Best ground points
• External ground plate
• Copper screen
• Copper foil
Un-usable ground points
(these connections may cause an explosion or electrical
shock)
• Gas or electrical pipe
• Fuel tank or oil-catch pan
Power source
The transceiver requires a regulated DC power of
13.8 V and at least 30 A. There are 2 ways to supply power:
•Direct connection to a 12 V battery in your vehicle through the supplied DC power cable.
•Use PS-60
DC POWER SUPPLY
to connect to an AC
outlet.
CATION: The supplied DC power cable MUST be
used to provide power to the transceiver. AVOID exceeding the 3 m (10 ft.) length of the DC power cable. When it is necessary to make a run of over 3 m, use #6 or similar weight cable with line fuses, 30 A, instead of the supplied DC power cable for a maximum of 6 m (20 ft.).

CONNECTION AND INSTALLATION
Antenna
Most stations operate with a whip or long wire (insu­lated backstay) antenna. However, these antennas cannot be connected directly to the transceiver since their impedance may not be matched with the trans­ceiver antenna connector.
R WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE!
NEVER touch the antenna element/wire while tun-
ing or transmitting.
With a 50 matched antenna all HF bands cannot be used. The following antenna matcher or antenna tuner may be helpful for antenna installation.
