3、 using the receiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUALThis instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-PCR100 COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER FOR COMPUTER. USEantenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 antenna and feedline. For radio communications, the antenna is of critical importance, a

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS IBM PC/AT compatible computer An RS-232C serial port (38400 bps or faster) MicrosoftWindows95 or MicrosoftWindows98 Intel i486DX4 processor or faster (Pentium100 MHz or faster recommended) At least 16 MB RAM At least 10 MB of hard disk space At least 640 48

5、0 pixel display (800 600 pixel display rec- ommended) OPERATING THEORY Electromagnetic radiation which has frequencies of 20,000 Hz (20 kHz*) and above is called radio frequency (RF) energy because it is useful in radio transmissions. The IC-PCR100 receives RF energy from 0.5 MHz* to 1300 MHz and co

6、nverts it into audio frequency (AF) energy which in turn actuates a loudspeaker to create sound waves.AF energy is in the range of 20 to 20,000 Hz. *kHz is an abbreviation of kilohertz or 1000 hertz, MHz is abbrevia- tion of megahertz or 1,000,000 hertz, where hertz is a unit of fre- quency. OPERATI

7、NG NOTES The IC-PCR100 may receive its own oscillated frequency, re- sulting in no reception or only noise reception, on some fre- quencies. The IC-PCR100 may receive interference from extremely strong signals on different frequencies or when using an ex- ternal high-gain antenna. Versions of the IC

8、-PCR100 which display “CE” on the serial num- ber seal, comply with the essential requirements of the 89/336/EEC directive for Electromagnetic Compatibility. CAUTIONS RWARNING! NEVERconnect the receiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock. NEVER connect other

9、than the specifi ed AC adapter to the receiver. This connection will ruin the receiver. NEVERconnect the receiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection will ruin the receiver. NEVERexpose the receiver to rain, snow or any liquids. DO NOTuse or place the recei

10、ver in areas with tempera- tures below 0C (+32F) or above +50C (+122F) or, in areas subject to direct sunlight. AVOIDplacing the receiver in excessively dusty environ- ments. AVOIDthe use of chemical agents such as benzine or al- cohol when cleaning, as they damage the receiver surfaces. Place unit

11、in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children. For U.S.A. only (FCC information) CAUTION:Changes or modifications not expressly ap- proved by Icom Inc. could void the users authority to operate this receiver. Class B digital device users This equipment has been tested and found to comply wi

12、th the limits for Class B digital devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment gen- erates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not in- stalled and

13、used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installa- tion. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be det

14、ermined by turning the equip- ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer- ence 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

15、 circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. For Canada only Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any in- terference,

16、including interference that may cause undesired opera- tion of the device. ii IBM is registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation in the U.S.A. and other countries.

23、installation Antennas play a very important role in receiver operation. Connecting a poor quality antenna to the IC-PCR100 will re- sult in less than optimum performance. Select antenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 antenna and feedline. 1.5:1 of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is rec- ommended f

24、or a desired band. Of course, the antenna line should be a coaxial cable. CAUTION:Protect your receiver from lightning by using a lightning arrestor. NOTE: The supplied antenna is a simple plain antenna which may not obtain indicated specifi cations. To obtain maximum performance from the IC-PCR100,

25、 you must purchase an ex- ternal wide band antenna such as an optional Icom AH-7000 (251300 MHz), etc. Contact your nearest Icom Dealer or Service Center for re- garding optimum antenna locations. The antenna connector type is BNC, so an adapter may be necessary to connect an optional antenna. I Gro

26、unding RWARNING: NEVERuse a gas pipe or electrical conduit pipe for grounding. To prevent accidents involving electricity and interference from computers, ground the receiver through the GROUND terminal on the rear panel. For best results, connect a heavy gauge cable to a water pipe or long, earth-s

27、unk copper rod. Make the distance between the GND terminal and ground as short as possible. 3 1INSTALLATION I AF output level selection The received audio can be input into your computer via the sound card.
