R WARNING 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).
R WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an
antenna or internal antenna connector during transmis-
sion. This may result in an electrical shock or burn.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while
driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full atten-
tion—anything less may result in an accident.
R NEVER apply AC power to the [DC13.8V] socket on
the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or dam-
age the transceiver.
R NEVER 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.
R NEVER 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.
R NEVER 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.
