FOREWORD
Thank you for purchasing this Icom product. The IC-2100H/-T
144 MHz FM TRANSCEIVER is designed and built with Icom’s
superior technology and craftsmanship. With proper care this
product should provide you with years of trouble-free operation.
IMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com-
pletely before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL—This in-
struction manual contains important operating instructions for
the IC-2100H/-T.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
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
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more
than 16 V DC. This will ruin the transceiver.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using
reverse polarity. This will ruin 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 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 transmit.
DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment
containing a transmitter.
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.
CAUTIONS

During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver
without running the vehicle’s engine. When transceiver power
is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s battery
will soon become exhausted.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating it continuously for long periods.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F).
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s
surfaces.
USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other
manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments
and may damage the transceiver if attached.
For U.S.A. only
Caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not ex-
pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to
operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

2INSTALLATION
■Location
Select a location which can support the weight of the trans-
ceiver and does not interfere with driving in any way. We rec-
ommend the locations shown in the diagram below.
NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the
vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
NEVER place the transceiver where air bag deployment may
be obstructed.
DO NOT place the transceiver where hot or cold air blows di-
rectly onto it.
AVOID placing the transceiver in direct sunlight.
■Using the mounting bracket
➀Drill 4 holes where the mounting bracket is to be installed.
• Approx. 5.5–6 mm (3⁄16") when using nuts; approx. 2–3 mm (1⁄16")
when using self-tapping screws.
➁Insert the supplied screws, nuts and washers through the
mounting bracket and tighten.
➂Adjust the angle for the clearest view of the function dis-
play.

■DC power supply connection
Use a 13.8 V DC power supply with more than 12 Acapacity.
Make sure the ground terminal of the DC power supply is
grounded.

SETTING A FREQUENCY
■Preparation
DTurning power ON/OFF
☞NOTE: Before operating the transceiver for the first time
it’s a good idea to reset the transceiver’s CPU. This will en-
sure that all transceiver settings are at their defaults. See
p. 62 for CPU resetting details.
Push [PWR] for 1 sec. to turn power ON or OFF.
Push [PWR] for 1 sec.
DVFO and memory modes
The transceiver has 2 basic operating modes: VFO mode and
memory mode.
Push [V/MHz] to select VFO mode when the transceiver is
not in VFO mode.
•If VFO mode is already selected, the digits below 100* kHz disap-
pear. In this case, push [V/MHz] again (or push twice or 3 times de-
pending on version).
*The digits below 1 or 10 MHz disappear for some versions.
Push [VFO] to select VFO mode.

3SETTING A FREQUENCY
■Lock functions
To prevent accidental frequency changes and unnecessary
function access, use the lock function. The transceiver has 2
different lock functions.
DFrequency lock
This function locks the tuning dial and switches electronically
and can be used together with the microphone lock function.
Push and hold [(SET)LOCK] until “L”appears in the memory
channel readout to activate the function.
•To cancel the function, push and hold [LOCK] until “L”disappears.
•[PTT], [MONI], [VOL] and [SQL] can be used while the frequency
lock function is in use. Also, TONE-1, TONE-2, DTMF tones or
DTMF memory contents can be transmitted from the microphone.
Push and hold [(VFO)LOCK] for 1 sec. to toggle the func-
tion ON and OFF.
DMicrophone keypad lock
This function locks the microphone keypad.
Push [FUNC] then [16KEYLOCK] to toggle
the microphone keypad lock function ON and
OFF.
•[PTT] and the 7 keys on the upper half of the mi-
crophone can be used.
•All switches on the transceiver can be used.
•The keypad lock function is released when the
power is turned OFF then ON again.

SETTING A FREQUENCY
■Using the tuning dial
➀Rotate the tuning dial to set the frequency.
•If VFO mode is not selected, push [V/MHz] to select VFO mode.
•The frequency changes according to the selected tuning steps.
(p. 16)
➁To change the frequency in 1 MHz (10 MHz for some ver-
sions) steps, push [V/MHz], then rotate the tuning dial.
•Pushing [V/MHz] for 1 sec. starts a scan function. If this happens,
push [V/MHz] again to stop the scan.
■Using the [Y]/[Z] keys
Push [Y] or [Z] to select the desired frequency.
•If VFO mode is not selected, push [VFO] to select it.
•The frequency changes according to the selected tun-
ing steps. (p. 16)
•Pushing [Y] or [Z] for more than 0.5 sec. activates a
