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 Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65). 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 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 transceiver by ignition voltage spikes. During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiver and microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indications. BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when operating 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 amplifier'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-7000 may damage the transceiver. R WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn. R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention--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 damage 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 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 damege the transceiver. R NEVER connect or use the supplied HM-151 (microphone) 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 liquids. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with temperatures 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 environments or in direct sunlight. 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 regulations. ii TABLE OF

Noise squelch (FM mode) S-meter squelch threshold S-meter squelch Audio outut decreases Push momentarily to enter the set mode menu. · Push again to exit the set mode menu. Lowest threshold Highest threshold w RF 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 miscellaneous (others) set mode as follows.

While transceiver's power is ON, push and hold for 1 sec. to turn the power OFF. r FRONT PANEL LATCH (p. 16) Pull away from the transceiver (towards yourself when looking at the front of the transceiver) to detach the front panel from the main body of the transceiver. t PASSBAND 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. · When functioning as RF gain/squelch control Noise squelch (FM mode) Squelch is open. Recommended level Maximum RF gain S-meter shows squelch level Push and hold inner control for 1 sec. to return the PBT to default settings.

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).
