FCC INFORMATION
• FOR CLASS B UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules.These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. This equipment gen-
erates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is en-
couraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connect-
ed.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this
device, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could
void your authority to operate this device under FCC
regulations.

RDANGER HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an
antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission.
This may result in an electrical shock or burn.
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 stan-
dards please refer to the Federal Communications
Commission Office of Engineering and Technology’s
report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines
for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
(OET Bulletin 65).
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with
an earphone, headphones or other audio accessories
at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against
continuous high volume operation. If you experience
a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or dis-
continue use.
RWARNING! NEVER apply AC power to the
[DC13.8V] connector on the transceiver rear panel. This
could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER apply more than 16 V DC to the
[DC13.8V] connector on the transceiver rear panel or use
reverse polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the trans-
ceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable be-
tween the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connec-
tion is made after cutting, the transceiver might be dam-
aged.
RWARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other objects
touch any internal part or connectors on the rear panel of the
transceiver. This may result in an electric shock or this could
cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
RWARNING! NEVER operate or touch the trans-
ceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric
shock or may damage the transceiver.
RWARNING! Immediately turn the transceiver power
OFF and remove the power cable if it emits an abnormal
odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or dis-
tributor for advice.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow
or any liquids.
CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings of
the transceiver. This may reduce transceiver perfor-
mance and/or damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded
electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or al-
cohol to clean the transceiver, as they will damage
the transceiver’s surfaces. If the transceiver becomes
dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
DO NOT use or place 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.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting any-
thing on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissipa-
tion.
Place the transceiver 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 transceiver’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 trans-
ceiver by ignition voltage spikes.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiver and
microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navi-
gation compass to prevent erroneous indications.
BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when op-
erating the transceiver continuously for long periods of time.
BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplifier is connected, set the
transceiver’s RF output power to less than the linear ampli-
fier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear amplifier will
be damaged.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other
manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments,
and connection to the IC-7100 may damage the transceiver.

[RF/SQL] (p. 44)
Rotate to adjust the RF gain and squelch threshold

The squelch removes noise output to the speaker
when no signal is received. (closed condition)
• The squelch is particularly effective for AM and FM, but
also works in other modes.
• The 12 to 1 o’clock position is recommended for the most
effective use of the [RF/SQL] control.
• [RF/SQL] operates as only an RF gain control in SSB,
CW and RTTY (Squelch is fixed open), or a squelch con-
trol in AM, FM and DV (RF gain is fixed at maximum sen-
sitivity), when “Auto” is selected as the “RF/SQL Control”
item in the “Function” Set mode. (p. 162)

❍When the both PBT and RIT LEDs are OFF
Rotate to select a Memory bank.
❍When the PBT LED (y) rights green
(Mode: SSB/CW/RTTY/AM)

width using the DSP circuit.
❍When the RIT LED (u) rights orange
Disable this control.
tM-CH CONTROL/CLEAR KEY [M-CH]/[CLR]
Push to select the action of the [M-CH/BANK] con-
trols as the Memory/Bank selection, PBT control or
RIT control.
❍When the both RIT and PBT LEDs are OFF
Rotate to select a Memory channel.
❍When the RIT LED rights orange
➥Rotate to adjust the RIT frequency shift.
• The frequency shift range is ±9.99 kHz in 10 Hz
steps. The control tunes in 1 Hz steps when the
operating frequency readout is set to the 1 Hz step
readout.
➥Hold down for 1 second to clear the RIT shift
frequency.
✔What is the RIT function?
The RIT (Receiver Incremental Tuning) shifts the re-
ceive frequency without shifting the transmit frequency.
This is useful for fine tuning stations calling you off-fre-
quency or when you prefer to listen to slightly different-
sounding voice characteristics, and so on.
❍When the PBT LED rights green
(Mode: SSB/CW/RTTY/AM)
➥Rotate to adjust the receiver’s IF filter pass-
band width using the DSP circuit.
➥ Hold down for 1 second to reset the PBT set-
tings.
• The PBT is adjustable in 50 Hz steps in the SSB/
CW/RTTY modes, and 200 Hz in the AM mode. In
this time, the shift value changes in 25 Hz steps in
the SSB/CW/RTTY modes, and 100 Hz in the AM
mode.
• The PBT controls function as an IF shift control.
✔What is the PBT control?
The PBT function electronically modifies the IF pass-
band width to reject interference. This transceiver uses
the DSP circuit for the PBT function.

❍PREAMP KEY Operation (p. 71)
(Frequency band: HF/50 MHz)
Push to select one of two receive RF preampli-
fiers, or to bypass them.
• “P. AMP1” is a wide dynamic range preamplifier. It is
most effective for the 1.8 to 21 MHz bands.

tive for the 24 to 50 MHz bands.
• No indicator appears when the preamplifiers are not
selected.
✔What is the preamplifier?
The preamplifier amplifies signals in the front end
to improve the S/N ratio and sensitivity. Select “P.
AMP1” or “P. AMP2” when receiving weak sig-
nals.

ing distorted when very strong signals are near it,
or when very strong electromagnetic fields, such
as from a broadcasting station, are near your lo-
cation.

AM: –5060 Hz to +5100 Hz
✔What is the notch filter?
The notch filter is a narrow filter that eliminates un-
wanted CW or AM carrier tones, while preserving
the desired voice signal. The DSP circuit automati-
cally adjusts the notch frequency to effectively elimi-
nate unwanted tones.
