The IC-7300 HF/50 MHz TRANSCEIVER is designed and built with Icoms 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-7300 your transceiver of choice, and hope you agree withIcomsphilosophyof“technologyirst.”Manyhoursofresearchanddevelopmentwentintothedesignof your IC-7300. FEATURES RF Direct Sampling System The IC-7300 employs an RF direct sampling system. RF signals are directly converted to digital data and processed in the FPGA. This system is a leading technology marking an epoch in amateur radio. 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 magniied.Thelarge4.3inchcolorTFTtouchLCDoffers intuitive operation. New “IP+” Function The new 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. Class Leading RMDR and Phase Noise Characteristics The RMDR is improved to about 97dB (typical value) and Phase Noise characteristics are also improved about 15dB (at 1 kHz frequency separation) compared to the IC-7200. A 4.3 inch touch screen color display A built-in automatic antenna tuner Multi-function control for easy settings SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES L Different types of accessories may be supplied, or may not be supplied depending on the transceiver version.

NEVER operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. This could cause an explosion and death. 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 OficeofEngineeringandTechnologysreporton Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65). R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. If you experience a ringing in your ears,reduce the volume or discontinue use. R WARNING! NEVER apply AC power to the DC13.8V socketonthetransceiverrearpanel.Thiscouldcauseaire or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER apply more than 16 V DC to the DC13.8V socket on the transceiver rear panel. This could causeaireordamagethetransceiver. R WARNING! NEVER reverse the DC power cable polarity.Thiscouldcauseaireordamagethetransceiver. R WARNING! NEVER remove the fuse holder on the DC power cable. Excessive current caused by a short could causeaireordamagethetransceiver. R WARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other objects contact the inside of the transceiver, or make incorrect contact with connectors on the rear panel. This could cause an electric shock or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This could cause an electric shock or damage to the transceiver. R WARNING! Immediately turn OFF the transceiver power and remove the DC power cable from the transceiver if it emits an abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom dealer or distributor for advice. R WARNING! NEVER put the transceiver on an unstable place where the transceiver may suddenly move or fall. This could cause an injury or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause aireordamagethetransceiver.Alwaysdisconnectthe power souce and antenna before a storm. CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings of the transceiver. This could reduce transceiver performance and/or damage to the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized internal adjustments. CAUTION: NEVER install or place the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation, or block any cooling vents on the top, rear, sides or bottom of the transceiver. Heat dissipation may be reduced and damage the transceiver. CAUTION: NEVER use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces. CAUTION: NEVER leave the transceiver in areas with temperatures below 10C (+14F) or above +60C (+140F) for mobile operations. CAUTION: NEVER place the transceiver in excessively dusty environments. This could damage the transceiver. DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting anything on top of the transceiver. This may overheat the transceiver. BE CAREFUL! The Main unit will become hot when operating the transceiver continuously for long periods of time. CAUTION:Ifyouusealinearampliier,setthe transceivers RF output power to less than the linear ampliiersmaximuminputlevel,otherwiseahighinput coulddamagethelinearampliier. CAUTION: Use only Icom supplied or optional microphones. Other manufacturers microphones may have different pin assignments, and could damage the connector and/or the transceiver. NEVER leave the transceiver in an insecure place to avoid use by unauthorized persons. Turn OFF the transceivers power and/or disconnect the AC power cable when you will not use the transceiver for a long period of time. Turn OFF the transceivers power and/or disconnect the DC power cable when you will not use the transceiver for long period of time. The LCD display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small dark or light spots.
