RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC

outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.

RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while dri-

ving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything
less may result in an accident.

RWARNING! NEVER transmit without an operational

antenna for 1.2 GHz operation. Transmission into a shorted or
non resonant antenna may damage the transceiver.

NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and

fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the
transceiver may be damaged.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more

than 16 V DC. This will damage the transceiver.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using re-

verse polarity. This will damage the transceiver.

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

The transceiver may be damaged.

NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This

may result in an electric shock or damage the transceiver.

NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the

vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.

NEVER let objects impede the operation of the cooling fan on

the rear panel.

DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-

mit.

DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment con-

taining a transmitter.

During mobile operation,
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.

DO NOT operate the transceiver

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when op-

erating it continuously for long periods.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

■ Unpacking

After unpacking, immediately report any damage to the deliv­ering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping cartons.

For a description and a diagram of accessory equipment in­cluded with the ID-1, see ‘Supplied Accessories’ on p. iv of
this manual.

■ Selecting a location

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

■ Antenna connection

For radio communications, the antenna is of critical impor­tance, along with output power and sensitivity. Select an­tenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 Ω antenna, and feedline.

1.5:1 or better of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is
recommended for your desired band. Of course, the trans­mission line should be a coaxial cable.

NOTE: There are many publications covering proper an­tennas and their installation. Check with your local dealer
for more information and recommendations.

• Antenna location for mobile operation

To obtain maximum performance from the transceiver, select
a high-quality antenna and mount it in a good location. A non­radial antenna should be used when using a magnetic mount.

13

CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from lightning by using
a lightning arrestor.

■ About D-STAR system

In the D-STAR system, repeater linking via a 10 GHz band
backbone and internet network (gateway connection) capa­bilities are available. This system allows you to much wider
coverage range during Digital voice mode operation.

• D-STAR system outline

For current existing repeater operation, stations that are com­municating must be in the same repeater’s operating area.
However, in the D-STAR system as in the illustration at left,
the repeaters can be linked via the system repeaters (with a
10 GHz signal). Thus stations A and B can communicate even
though they are in different repeater operating areas.

Also, the D-STAR system repeaters are connectable through
the internet network— gateway connection capability.

For example, when station B uses the gateway connection
station B can communicate with the station C!
By using the gateway connection, long distance communica­tion like DX operation may be possible with 1.2 GHz digital
voice!

In the D-STAR system, independent repeater’s operating
area is called as Area and a group that linking repeaters via a
10 GHz backbone is called as Zone.

■ General

Step 3:

Set the duplex (shift) direction (–duplex or +duplex).

- Set the offset frequency (shift value), if required.

Step 4 for FM mode:

Set the subaudible tone (repeater tone) encoder
function ON.

- Set the subaudible tone frequency, if required.

Step 1:

Set the desired operating mode.

Step 2:

Set the desired receive frequency (repeater output frequency).

Step 4 for Digital voice mode:

Set the desired repeater call sign.

- Set the desired linked repeater call sign, if required.

Repeater example;

Receives the 1269.975 MHz signal
and the detected audio signals are
transmitted on 1289.975 MHz simul­taneously.

Station A:
Tx: 1269.975 MHz
Rx: 1289.975 MHz

Station B:
Tx: 1269.975 MHz
Rx: 1289.975 MHz

Repeaters allow you to extend the operatable range, and also
to cover blind zones. Because a repeater has much higher
output power than the typical transceiver, and has a wider
coverage area.

Normally, a repeater has independent frequency for each re­ceive and transmit, and a subaudible tone may be required
to accessing a repeater.

Refer to an amateur radio handbook or a ham magazine for
details of local FM repeater, such as repeater input/output fre­quencies and location.

poor condition, damage, or data loss of this unit or because of
such external causes as power failure. Icom also dismisses
all responsibility for demands made by a third party.

The transmitting data may be received and decrypted by a
third party/station due to the ID-1 transmits data without en­cryption.

Connect the ID-1 and PC via Ethernet cable for Data mode
operation in advance. (see p. 17)

Disconnect the PC from any other network, another ISP, LAN,
etc., is recommended. Network error may be occurred.
