FCC INFORMATION FORCLASSBUNINTENTIONALRADIATORS: 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 interference in a residential instal- lation. This equipment generates, 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 inter- ference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip- ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the inter- ference by one or more of the following measures: Reorientorrelocatethereceivingantenna.

Spurious signals may be received near some frequen- cies. These are created in the internal circuit and does not indicate a transceiver malfunction. CAUTION: Changes or modifi cations to this device, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this device under FCC regula- tions. “AI” means “Advanced Instructions.” “sec. MM” means section number. So when “(AI sec. MM)” is described on this manu- al, see the PDF type Advanced Instructions section number for your reference. ii PRECAUTIONS R DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an an- tenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn. 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 stan- dards please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Offi ce of Engineering and Technologys report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65). R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention anything less may result in an accident. R WARNING! 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 discon- tinue use. R WARNING! NEVER apply AC power to the DC13.8V connector on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fi re or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER apply more than 16 V DC to the DC13.8V connector on the transceiver rear panel or use re- verse polarity. This could cause a fi re or damage the trans- ceiver. R WARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged. R WARNING! 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 fi re or damage the transceiver. R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the trans- ceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or may damage the transceiver. R WARNING! 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 elec- trical 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 transceivers 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 10C (+14F) or above +60C (+140F). Be aware that temperatures on a vehicles dashboard can ex- ceed +80C (+176F), resulting in permanent damage to the transceiver if left there for extended periods. DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty environ- ments 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 vehicles engine. When the transceivers power is ON and your vehicles engine is OFF, the vehicles 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. BECAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when op- erating the transceiver continuously for long periods of time. BECAREFUL! If a linear amplifi er is connected, set the transceivers RF output power to less than the linear ampli- fi ers maximum input level, otherwise, the linear amplifi er will be damaged. Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other manufacturers microphones have different pin assignments, and connection to the IC-7100 may damage the transceiver. iii e SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES The following accessories are supplied with the transceiver. q Hand microphone . 1 w Control cable . 1 e Ferrite EMI fi lter .1 For European versions .2 r 3.5 (d) mm plug .1 t ACC cable .1 y DC power cable* (OPC-1457) . 1 or (OPC-2095) . 1 u Spare fuse (ATC 5 A) . 1 i USB cable .1 o CD .1 !0 Spare fuse (ATC 30 A) . 2 * Depending on the version. q we r t y y u i o !0 ABOUT THE SUPPLIED CD The following instructions and installers are included on the CD.
