INFORMATION
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if
not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, may cause inteference to radio and
television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the
specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference
in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
Reorient the receiving antenna
Relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver
Move the equipment away from the receiver
Plug the equipment into a different outlet so that equipment and
receiver are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/television te^nicpn additional suggestions. The user may

For battery operation, use four size AA (R6) batteries.
For AC operation, use the AC power adaptor supplied with this
unit; do not use any other type.
For car battery operation, use the car battery cord recommended
for this unit; do not use any other type.
• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Use the unit within a temperature range of 0®C to 40®C (32®F to
104®F). If it is used in temperatures outside this range, there may
be trouble with the frequency and clock display. If it is used in
temperatures lower than this range, the displayed numbers may
change very slowly. This is not an internal malfunction. The display
will recover when the unit is used within the recommended
temperature.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, remove the
batteries, and have the unit checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, keep personal
credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away
from the unit to prevent them from possible damage caused by the
magnet.
• Reception around 1.8 MHz and 3.6 MHz may be difficult because
of internal spurious signals generated by the built-in oscillators.
• When the casing becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth
dampened with mild detergent solution. Never use abrasive
cleansers or chemical solvents, as they may mar the casing.
If you have any question or problem concerning your unit that is not
covered in this manual, please consult the nearest Sony dealer.
Set this switch to POWER, then press the ON/OFF button to turn on
the radio. Set the switch to LOCK when carrying the radio. When this
switch is set to LOCK, the power will not be turned on even if you
press the ON/OFF button.

Using the FINE TUNING control
This radio receives the station at the interval of frequency
shown in the list on pages 0 and 0. To receive a station
whose frequency does not coincide with this interval, it is
necessary to adjust the tuning in approx. ±5 kHz range
by FINE TUNING. In this case, the frequency display will
not change.
2 Adjust the tuning with FINE TUNING.
+: For a frequency up to approx. 5 kHz higher

Type of broadcast
SSB (Single Side Bmd)
SSB Is very popular among ham and business radio and will be
found on all of the amateur bands because of its signal
inteiligibility. This results from that it transmits signals with half
bandwidth of OS6 (Ooubie Side Band).
Typical AM (MW. LW. SW) band uses DSB. In DSB
transmission, the amplitude of a carrier is modulated according
to transmitted frequencies as shown below.
Amplitude
Carrier
LSB
Time
Ampiitude
Audio signals are included both in USB and LSB. These signals
included in USB and LSB are the same ones except that they
are in the opposite phase relation.
This means that trsmsmission can be done using only one of
USB and LSB. SSB transmission is the system in which such a
method is used, in general, SSB transmissions up to 10 MHz
shall employ LSB modulation, and those above this frequency
shall use USB. To receive SSB transmission, the unit with the
BFO (Beat Frequency Oscillator) circuits is needed to convert
SSB signals into audio signals. SSB cannot be heard with the
radio which has no such circuits.
CW (Continuous Wave)
CW is also popular among ham and business radio. In CW
transmission, the amplitude of a carrier is not modulated while
that of other systems is modulated. CW conveys information by
interrupting a carrier using Morse code. It can be heard as a
beat sound only with the unit equipped with the BFO circuits. To
understand information transmitted by CW, you need to learn
the Morse code.

sualty the telescopic antenna is sufficient for SW reception. However, in t
etal or concrete building, the use of the supplied SW compact antenna is
commended.
How to Use an Optional Anten
I Anl«IUW Q>HB*ClBrfe:g
Connect an optional coaxial cable to the supplied antenna connector.
Connect the antenna connector to the EXT ANT jack of the ICF-SW7600.

a steel-frame building, a mountainous area, at a distance from the
ansmitter or in a location where ignition noise is severe, FM reception may
e unsatisfactory with the telescopic antenna. In this case, connect a
ommercially available external FM antenna with a 75-ohm coaxial cable.
1 Fully pull out the cord from the case.
2 Attach the coupler to the telescopic antenna.
3 When the window can be oper>ed:
Extend the cord and the case out through the window, after making sure
there is no danger.
When the window cannot be opened:
Fully exter>d the cord along the frvne of the window.
After using
Method A
With a connecting cord, connect the OUTPUT jack of the antenna controller
(supplied with the AN-1 or the AN-102) and the EXT ANT jack of the
ICF-SW7600,
Method B (for LW/MW reception onty)
1 With a connecting cord, connect the OUTPUT jack of the antenna
controller and the INPUT jack of the antenna coupler (supplied with the
AN-1 or AN-102).
2 Put the antenna coupler near the ICF-SW7600.
Example: When the AN-1 is used.
Notes
• When receiving MW or LW broadcasts without an external antenna, be sure
to disconnect a SW external antenna. Otherwise, you cannot receive them
as the built-in ferrite bar antenna does not function.
• If there is lightening, do not touch the wire of an external antenna and
disconnect its AC power adaptor (if connected) immediately.
• When using an external antenna, retract the telescopic antenna.
• Locate an outdoor antenna as far away from the street as possible.
• For details about an external antenna, refer to its instruction manual.
