VHF/UHF ALL MODE TRANSCEIVER

i
Thank you for choosing this Icom product. The IC-9700 VHF/UHF ALL MODE TRANSCEIVER is designed and built
with Icom’s state of the art technology and craftsmanship. With proper care, this product should provide you with
years of trouble-free operation. We appreciate you making the IC-9700 your transceiver of choice, and hope you
agree with Icom’s philosophy of “technology rst.” Many hours of research and development went into the design
of your IC-9700.
FEATURES
•RF Direct Sampling System
The IC-9700 employs an RF direct sampling system. RF
signals are directly converted to digital data in the ADC,
and then processed in the FPGA. This system is a leading
technology, marking an epoch in amateur radio.
The 1200 MHz band uses a downconversion IF sampling.
•Real-Time Spectrum Scope
The spectrum scope is class-leading in resolution,
sweep speed and dynamic range. When you touch the
scope screen on the intended signal, the touched area is
magnied. The large 4.3 inch color TFT touch LCD offers
intuitive operation.
•D-STAR operation
The IC-9700 has the D-STAR Repeater (DR) function.
Moreover, by using the DD mode, you can browse the
Internet through a repeater station.
•Satellite operation
The IC-9700 has 99 satellite memory channels for both
uplink and downlink frequencies and mode.
•“IP+” Function
The IP Plus function improves 3rd order intercept point
(IP3) performance. When a weak signal is received
adjacent to strong interference, the AD converter is
optimized against signal distortion.
•A 4.3 inch touch panel color display
•Multi-function control for easy settings
SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES

Heat dissipation
Grounding
To prevent electrical shock, television
interference (TVI), broadcast
interference (BCI) and other
problems, ground the transceiver
using the ground terminal [GND] on
the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy
gauge wire or strap to a long ground
rod. Make the distance between the
[GND] terminal and ground as short
as possible.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the [GND] terminal
to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could
cause an explosion or electric shock.
• DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or put
anything on top of the transceiver. This may block
airow and overheat the transceiver.
• NEVER install the transceiver in a place without
adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be
reduced, and the transceiver may be damaged.
• DO NOT touch the transceiver after transmitting
continuously for long periods of time. The transceiver
may become hot.
Selecting a location
Select a location for the transceiver that allows
adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold
or vibration, and other electromagnetic sources.
Never place the transceiver in areas such as:
• Temperatures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C
(+140°F).
• An unstable place that slopes or vibrates.
• In direct sunlight.
• High humidity and temperature environments.
• Dusty environments.
• Noisy environments.
Using the desktop stands
The transceiver has a stand for desktop use.
NOTE: DO NOT hold the stand, dials and controls
when you carry the transceiver. This may damage
them.
Stand
Connecting an external DC power supply
Conrm that the transceiver is OFF before connecting
the DC power cable.
LWe recommend using Icom’s optional PS-126
(DC 13.8 V/25 A) power supply, when available.
LWhen connecting a non-Icom DC power cable, the
transceiver needs:
• DC 13.8 V (Capacity: At least 18 Amps)
• A power supply with an over current protective line, and
low voltage uctuation or ripple.
