These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful in- terference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency en- ergy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guaran- tee that interference will not occur in a particular in- stallation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter- ference 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 interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is con- nected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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 Com- munications Commission Office of Engineering and Technologys report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electro- magnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65). R WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an antenna or internal antenna connector during trans- mission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn. R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attentionanything 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 fjre 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 fjre or damege the transceiver. R NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with temperatures below 10C (+14F) or above +60C (+140F). Be aware that temperatures on a vehicles dashboard can exceed +80C (+176F), resulting in permanent damage to the transceiver if left there for extended periods. DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight. DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or put 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 trans- ceiver where air bag deployment may be obstructed. During mobile operation, DO NOT place the trans- ceiver where hot or cold air blows directly onto it. During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the trans- ceiver without running the vehicles engine. When the transceivers power is ON and your vehicles engine is OFF, the vehicles battery will quickly become ex- hausted. Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before start- ing the vehicle engine. This will avoid possible dam- age to the transceiver by ignition voltage spikes. During maritime mobile operation, keep the trans- ceiver and microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent errone- ous indications. BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when operating the transceiver continuously for long peri- ods. BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplifier is connected, set the transceivers RF output power to less than the linear amplifjers maximum input level, otherwise, the linear amplifjer will be damaged. Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other manufacturers microphones have different pin assignments, and connection to the IC-7200 may damage the transceiver. For U.S.A. only Caution: Changes or modifications to this trans- ceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations. ii iii TABLE OF CONTENTS IMPORTANT .i FOREWORD .i EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS .i SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES.i FCC INFORMATION .i PRECAUTIONS .ii TABLE OF CONTENTS .iii-iv 1 PANEL DESCRIPTION.111 Front panel .1 D Keypad .5 Function display .7 Rear panel .9 D ACC socket information .10 Microphones .11 D HM-36 .11 D SM-20 .11 2 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS .1220 Unpacking .12 Selecting a location .12 Grounding .12 Antenna connection .12 Required connections.13 Advanced connections .14 Power supply connections .15 Connecting the DC Power Supply .15 Battery connections .15 External antenna tuners .16 Linear amplifjer connections.17 Connections for CW .18 Connections for RTTY .19 D Connections for RTTY (FSK) .19 D Connections for RTTY (AFSK) .19 Connections for SSTV or PSK31 .20 D When connecting to the ACC socket .20 D When connecting to the MIC connector .20 D When connecting to the USB jack .20 3 BASIC OPERATION .2132 Before fjrst applying power .21 Applying power (CPU resetting) .21 VFO description .22 VFO operation .22 D Selecting the VFO A/B .22 D VFO equalization .22 Selecting VFO/memory mode .23 D Differences between VFO mode and memory mode .23 Selecting an operating band .24 D Using the band stacking register .24 Frequency setting .25 D Using the main dial .25 D Direct frequency entry with keypad .25 D Programmable tuning steps .26 D Selecting the programmable tuning step.26 D 1 Hz and 10 Hz tuning steps .27 D TS switch fmow chart .27 D Auto tuning step function .28 D tuning function (SSB data/CW/RTTY only) .28 D Band edge warning beep .28 Volume setting .29 Operating mode selection .29 Dial lock function .29 RF gain and Squelch .30 Meter function .30 Basic transmit operation .31 D Transmitting .31 D Output power and Microphone gain settings .31 Voice synthesizer function .32 4 RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT .3343 Operating SSB .33 D Convenient functions for receive .33 D Convenient functions for transmit .34 D About 5 MHz band operation (USA version only) .34 Operating CW .35 D Convenient functions for receive .36 D Convenient functions for transmit .36 D CW reverse mode .37 D CW pitch control .37 D CW side tone function .38 D Keying speed setting .38 Operating RTTY (FSK) .39 D Convenient functions for receive .39 D RTTY reverse mode .40 D Twin peak fjlter .40 D RTTY decode set mode .41 Operating AM .42 D Convenient functions for receive .42 D Convenient functions for transmit .42 Data mode (SSTV/PSK31) operation .43 5 FUNCTIONS FOR RECEIVE .4452 RIT function .44 Preamp and attenuator .45 AGC function .45 D AGC time constant selection .45 Twin PBT operation .46 IF fjlter selection .47 D IF fjlter selection .47 D FIlter passband width setting .48 D IF fIlter shape (SSB/CW only) .48 Noise blanker .49 D Noise blanker settings .49 Noise reduction .50 D Noise reduction level setting .50 Notch function .51 D Auto notch function .51 D Manual notch function .51 D Manual notch fjlter setting .52 6 FUNCTIONS FOR TRANSMIT .5360 VOX function .53 D Adjusting the VOX function.53 D VOX set mode .54 Break-in function .55 D Semi break-in operation .55 D Full break-in operation .56 Speech compressor .57 D Compression level setting .57 Split frequency operation .58 D Quick split function .59 D Split lock function .59 Measuring SWR .60 7 MEMORY OPERATION .6164 Memory channels .61 Memory channel selection .61 Memory programming .62 D Programming in VFO mode .62 D Programming in memory mode .62 Frequency copying .63 D Copying in memory mode .63 Memory clearing .64 8 SCAN OPERATION .6566 Scan types .65 Preparation .65 Programmed scan operation (VFO mode) .66 Memory scan operation (Memory mode) .66 9 ANTENNA TUNER OPERATION .6769 Optional AT-180 AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER operation .67 D Tuner operation .67 D Manual tuning .67 AT-180 internal switch description .
