RWARNING 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 Evalu-
ating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).
RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an
antenna or internal antenna connector during transmis-
sion. This may result in an electrical shock or burn.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full atten-
tion—anything less may result in an accident.
RNEVER apply AC power to the [DC13.8V] socket on
the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or dam-
age the transceiver.
RNEVER apply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 V
battery, to the [DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver rear
panel. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
RNEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any in-
ternal part or connectors on the rear panel of the trans-
ceiver. This may result in an electric shock or this could
cause a fire or damege the transceiver.
RNEVER connect or use the supplied HM-151 (micro-
phone) with other transceiver. This could cause damage
to the transceiver. The HM-151 is designed for use with
the IC-7000 ONLY.
NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liq-
uids.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures 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 envi-
ronments 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, NEVER place the transceiver
where air bag deployment may be obstructed.
During mobile operation, DO NOT place the transceiver
where hot or cold air blows directly onto it.
During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver
without running the vehicle’s engine. When the trans-
ceiver’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 engine. This will avoid possible damage to the
transceiver by ignition voltage spikes.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiver
and microphone as far away as possible from the mag-
netic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indica-
tions.
BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when op-
erating the transceiver continuously for long periods.
BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplifier is connected, set the
transceiver’s RF output power to less than the linear am-
plifier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear ampli-
fier will be damaged.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other
manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assign-
ments, and connection to the IC-7000 may damage the
transceiver.
For U.S.A. only
Caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver,
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your
authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regu-
lations.

qAF GAIN CONTROL [AF( SET )] (inner control; p. 33)
➥Rotate to vary the audio output level from the
speaker or headphones.
Push momentarily to enter the set mode menu.
•Push again to exit the set mode menu.
wRF GAIN CONTROL/SQUELCH CONTROL
[RF/SQL] (outer control; p. 35)
Adjusts the RF gain and squelch threshold level.
The squelch, when closed, mutes the speaker or
headphones when no signal is received, reducing
noise.
•The squelch is particularly effective for FM mode. It is
also available in other modes.
•12 to 1 o’clock position is recommended for any setting
of the [RF/SQL] control.
•The control can be set to ‘Auto’ (RF gain control in SSB,
CW and RTTY; squelch control in AM, FM and WFM) or
squelch control (RF gain is fixed at maximum) in the mis-
cellaneous (others) set mode as follows. (p. 129)
•When functioning as RF gain/squelch control
•When functioning as RF gain control
(Squelch is fixed open; SSB, CW, RTTY only)
•When functioning as squelch control
(RF gain is fixed at maximum.)
ePOWER KEY [PWR] (p. 25)
➥While transceiver’s power is OFF, push to turn the
power ON.
•Turn the DC power supply ON in advance.
➥While transceiver’s power is ON, push and hold
for 1 sec. to turn the power OFF.
rFRONT PANEL LATCH (p. 16)
Pull away from the transceiver (towards yourself
when looking at the front of the transceiver) to de-
tach the front panel from the main body of the trans-
ceiver.
tPASSBAND TUNING/M-ch/RIT CONTROLS
[PBT/M-ch/RIT]
➥Push inner control to toggle the twin Passband
Tuning (PBT) or memory channel/RIT function
ON and OFF.
➥While Twin PBT is selected (p. 77):
●
● Adjusts the receiver’s DSP filter passband
width.
•Passband width and shift frequency are displayed
on the LCD.
•The default variable range is half of the IF filter
passband width. 25 Hz step is available.
●
● Push and hold inner control for 1 sec. to return
the PBT to default settings.

PANEL DESCRIPTION

See the illustration of the Front panel on page i-2.

✔ What is the PBT control?
PBT electronically narrows the IF passband width to reject
interference. This transceiver uses DSP to implement PBT.
➥While M-ch/RIT is selected:
●
● Rotate the inner control to select a memory
channel number (p. 100).
●
● Push and hold inner control for 1 sec. to turn
the RIT/∂TX mode ON (pgs. 73, 86).
•Push [ZZ( MENU / GRP )] to exit the RIT/∂TX mode.
●
● While the RIT/∂TX mode is OFF:
Rotate outer control to select a memory bank
(p. 104).
●
● While the RIT/∂TX is ON:
Rotate outer control to shift the receive or
transmit frequency (pgs. 73, 86).
•“ ” or “ ” indicators appear when the RIT or
∂TX function is activate, respectively.
•The shift frequency range is ± 9.999 kHz in 1 Hz
steps (or ±9.99 kHz in 10 Hz steps).
•When the RIT or ∂TX function is ON, push and
hold [F-1 RRIITT]or [F-2 ∂∂TTXX]for 1 sec. to add or
subtract the frequency shift to the display fre-
quency.
✔ What is the RIT function?
RIT (Receiver Incremental Tuning) shifts the receive fre-
quency without shifting the transmit frequency.
This is useful for fine tuning for stations calling you off fre-
quency or when you prefer to listen to slightly different-
sounding voice characteristics, etc.
✔ What is the
∂∂
TX function?
The ∂TX shifts the transmit frequency without shifting the re-
ceive frequency. This is useful for simple split frequency op-
eration in CW, etc.
yTWIN PBT (M-ch/RIT) INDICATOR
(pgs. 73, 77, 86, 100)
➥Indicates the status of [PBT/M-ch/RIT] (t) as the
Twin PBT function or memory channel/RIT con-
trol.
•Indicator is green when the Twin PBT is selected.
•Indicator is off when the M-ch/RIT is selected.
uMENU/GROUP KEYS [MENU/GRP] (p. 151)
➥Push either key one or more times to select
menus within a menu group (MM, SSor GG(Graphic)).
➥Push and hold for 1 sec. to select one of the three
menu groups: MM
-- 11to MM -- 33, SS -- 11to SS -- 33and GG -- 11
(Scope) to GG
-- 33(SWR meter).
iTUNER/CALL KEY [TUNER/CALL]
➥During HF/50 MHz operation (p. 114):
●
● Push momentarily to toggle the automatic an-
tenna tuner function ON and OFF.
•An optional antenna tuner must be connected.
•“ ” indicator appears when the tuner is ON.
●
● Push and hold for 2 sec. to manually tune the
antenna.
•An optional antenna tuner must be connected.
•“ ” indicator appears when the tuner is ON.
➥During 144/430 MHz operation (p. 100):
Push momentarily to select the call channel (or
return to the previous channel/frequency when
the call channel is already selected).
•“C1” is the 144 MHz call channel and “C2” is the 430
MHz call channel.
oMULTI-FUNCTION KEYS [F-1]/[F-2]/[F-3]/[F-4]
➥Push to select the function indicated in the LCD
display above these keys. (pgs. 5–8, 151)
•Functions vary depending on the active menu.
