EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
The explicit definitions described below apply to this
instruction manual.
PRECAUTIONS
WORD DEFINITION
RWARNING Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.
CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet directly. This may pose a fire hazard or re-
sult in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER mount the transceiver over-
head. The weight of the transceiver is approximately 8
kg., but its apparent weight will increase several fold
due to wave shocks and vibration. The transceiver
must be mounted on a flat hard surface only.
NEVER connect a power source of more than 16 V DC
such as a 24 volt battery. This connection will ruin the
transceiver.
NEVER allow children to play with equipment contain-
ing a radio transmitter.
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any
liquids.
NEVER install the IC-M700PRO into a plus-grounding
ship. Such a connection might blow fuses and is not
usable.
DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzene or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the trans-
ceiver’s surfaces.
In maritime mobile operation, KEEP the transceiver
and microphone as far away as possible (at least 1 m)
from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent er-
roneous indications.
USE an Icom microphone and/or handset only (sup-
plied or optional). Other brands may have different pin
assignments and may damage the transceiver.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with
temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F).
AVOID connecting the transceiver to a power source
using reverse polarity. This connection will not only
blow fuses but may also damage the transceiver.
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.

OPERATING RULES AND GUIDELINES
❑CALL PROCEDURES
Calls must be properly identified and time limits must
be respected.
➀Give your call sign each time you call another vessel
or coast station. If you have no call sign, identify
your vessel name and the name of the licensee.
➁Give your call sign at the end of each transmission
that lasts more than 3 min.
➂You must break and give your call sign at least once
every 15 min. during long ship-to-shore calls.
➃Keep your unanswered calls short, less than 30 sec.
Do not repeat a call for 2 min.
➄Unnecessary transmissions are not allowed.
❑PRIORITIES
➀Read all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities
and keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and dis-
tress calls take priority over all others.
➁False or fraudulent distress calls are prohibited and
punishable by law.
❑PRIVACY
➀Information overheard but not intended for you can-
not be lawfully used in any way.
➁Indecent or profane language is prohibited.
❑LOGS
➀All distress, emergency and safety calls must be
recorded in complete detail. Log data activity is usu-
ally recorded in 24 hour time. Universal Time (UTC)
is frequently used.
➁Adjustments, repairs, channel frequency changes
and authorized modifications affecting electrical op-
eration of the equipment must be kept in the main-
tenance log; entries must be signed by the
authorized licensed technician performing or super-
vising the work.
❑RADIO LICENSES
(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE
You must have a current radio station license before
using the transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship
station which is not licensed.
Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate govern-
ment agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license appli-
cation. This government-issued license states the call
sign which is your craft’s identification for radio pur-
poses.
(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE
A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the li-
cense most often held by small vessel radio operators
when a radio is not required for safety purposes.
The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must
be posted or be kept with the operator. Only a licensed
radio operator may operate a transceiver.
However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a
transceiver if a licensed operator starts, supervises,
and ends the call, and makes the necessary log en-
tries.
Keep a copy of the current government rules and reg-
ulations handy.

Both channel scan and channel resume scan search
around a user selected channel or search in the band
when a channel is selected.
Channel scan
Scan is canceled when
transmitting.
Channel resume scan
Scan pauses when squelch
opens, then resumes after
10 sec.
