PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING! NEVER operate the receiver with a
headset 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 or discontinue use.
R CAUTION! NEVER change the internal set-
tings of the receiver. This may reduce receiver perfor-
mance and/or damage to the receiver.
The receiver warranty does not cover any problems
caused by unauthorized internal adjustment.
R CAUTION! The receiver weighs approx. 20 kg
(44 lb). Always have two people available to carry, lift
or turn over the receiver.
R CAUTION! The line-voltage receptacle must be
near the receiver and must be easily accessible. Avoid
extension cords.
R ACHTUNG! Die Steckdose muß nabe bei
diesem Gerät angebracht und zugänglich sein.
R NEVER let metal, wire or other objects protrude
into the receiver or into connectors on the rear panel.
This may result in an electric shock.
R NEVER block any cooling vents on the top, rear
or bottom of the receiver.
R NEVER expose the receiver to rain, snow or any
liquids.
R NEVER install the receiver in a place without ad-
equate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be reduced,
and the receiver may be damaged.
R NEVER operate or touch the receiver with wet
hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage
to the receiver.
DO NOT
use chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning the IC-R9500, as they can dam-
age the receivers surfaces.
AVOID using or storing the receiver in areas with tem-
peratures below ±0°C (+32°F) or above +50°C
(+122°F).
AVOID placing the receiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments or in direct sunlight.
AVOID placing the receiver against walls or putting
anything on top of the receiver. This may overheat the
receiver.
Always place unit in a secure place to avoid inadver-
tent use by children.
The LCD display may have cosmetic imperfections that
appear as small dark or light spots. This is not a mal-
function or defect, but a normal characteristic of LCD
displays.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the receiver as
far away as possible from the magnetic navigation
compass to prevent erroneous indications.
Turn [I/O] switch (on the rear panel) OFF and/or dis-
connect the AC power cable from the AC outlet when
you will not use the receiver for a long period of time.

Unpacking
After unpacking, immediately report any damage to the
delivering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping cartons.
For a description and a diagram of accessory equip-
ment included with the IC-R9500, see ‘Supplied ac-
cessories’ on p. iii of this manual.
Selecting a location
Select a location for the receiver that allows adequate
air circulation and access to the front and rear panels.
Do not place in areas subject to extreme heat, cold, or
vibrations, or near TV sets, radios and other electro-
magnetic sources.
Grounding
To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob-
lems, ground the receiver through the GROUND ter-
minal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap
to a long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance be-
tween the [GND] terminal and ground as short as pos-
sible.
R WARNING: NEVER connect the [GND]
terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connec-
tion could cause an explosion or electric shock.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
2-3
Antenna connection
Your antenna plays a very important role in receiver
operation. If the antenna is poor, your receiver cannot
give you the best performance.
The IC-R9500 requires at least 2 antennas (ANT 1/HF
ANT 3, ANT 2) for full coverage from 100 kHz to 3335
MHz. Select an antenna, such as a well matched 50
antenna and feedline. When you wish to use a long
wire antenna for short wave bands, use one as long as
possible (at least 10 m, 32.8 ft).
CAUTION: Protect your receiver from lightning by
using a lightning arrestor.

Duplex operation
Duplex operation uses two different frequencies for
transmitting and receiving. Generally, duplex is used in
communication through a repeater, some utility com-
munications, etc.
During repeater operation, the transmit station fre-
quency is shifted from the receive station frequency by
the offset frequency. Repeater information (offset fre-
quency and shift direction) can be programmed into
memory channels.

About the “P.AMP2”
The “P.AMP 2” is a high gain receive amplifier. When
the “P.AMP 2” is used when strong signal are present,
distortion sometimes results. If this occurs, use the re-
ceiver with the “P.AMP 1” or “P.AMP OFF” setting.
The “P.AMP 2” is most effective when:
Used on bands above 24 MHz and when signals are
weak.
Receive sensitivity is insufficient during low gain, or
while using a narrow band antenna (such as small
loop, a Beverage antenna or a short Yagi antenna).
Attenuator
The attenuator prevents a desired signal from being
distorted by a very strong signals are near the desired
frequency or when very strong electric fields, such as
from broadcasting stations, are near your location.
Push [ATT] several times to select the desired at-
tenuator or attenuator OFF.
During HF bands operation, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 dB are

AGC function
The AGC (auto gain control) controls receiver gain to
produce a constant audio output level even when the
received signal strength varies greatly.
The receiver has 3 preset AGC characteristics (time
constant: fast, mid, slow) for non-FM, WFM or P25
mode.
The FM, WFM or P25 mode AGC time constant is
fixed as ‘FAST’ (0.1 sec.) and AGC time constant
cannot be selected.

Twin PBT operation
PBT (Passband Tuning) electronically narrows the IF
passband width by shifting the IF frequency slightly
outside of the IF filter passband, rejecting interference.
The IC-R9500 uses DSP for the PBT function. Moving
both [TWIN PBT] controls to the same position shifts
the IF.
The LCD shows the passband width and shift fre-
quency graphically.
Push and hold [FILTER] for 1 sec. to enter the filter
set screen. Current passband width and shift fre-
quency is displayed in the filter set screen.
To set the [TWIN PBT] controls to the center posi-
tions, push and hold [PBT CLR] for 1 sec.
The variable range depends on the passband width
and mode. The edge of the variable range is half of the
passband width, and PBT is adjustable in 25 or 50 Hz
steps.
[TWIN PBT] should normally be set to the center posi-
tions (PBT setting is cleared) when there is no interfer-
ence.
When PBT is used, the audio tone may be changed.
Not available for FM, WFM or P25 mode.
While rotating [TWIN PBT], noise may occur. This comes
from the DSP unit and does not indicate an equipment
malfunction.

Dial click function
The IC-R9500 can turn the dial click function ON and
OFF. And the auto dial click setting is also available in
the others set mode (p. 11-12).
Push and hold [1/4] for 1 sec. to turn the dial click
function ON and OFF manually.

Antenna selection
The IC-R9500 has 3 antenna connectors for bands
below 30 MHz which are [HF ANT1], [HF ANT2] and
[ANT1/HF ANT3]. And antenna control voltage is also
output from [ANT SEL] connector for using external
preamplifier or antenna selector.
For each operating band the IC-R9500 covers, there
is a band memory which can memorize a selected an-
tenna. When you change the operating frequency be-
yond a band, the previously used antenna is automat-
ically selected (see left) for the new band. This function
allows automatic switching of 3 separate antennas for
HF bands operation.
After an antenna has been selected for use (by push-
ing [ANT]), the antenna is automatically selected
whenever that band is used.
[EXAMPLE]: a 3.5/7 MHz antenna is connected to
[HF ANT1], a 14/18 MHz antenna is connected to [HF
ANT2], a 24/28 MHz antenna is connected to [HF
ANT3]. After each antenna is selected, an antenna is
automatically selected when changing bands.
Antenna selection
Push [ANT] to select the antenna from “ANT HF 1,”
“ANT HF 2” and “ANT HF 3.”
The antenna indicator turns ON when other than default
antenna (ANT1) is selected.
Push and hold [ANT] for 1 sec to turn the antenna
control voltage ON and OFF from [ANT SEL] con-
nector.
When it’s ON, “” appears. Then the receiver output

General
The IC-R9500’s firmware can be updated if desired.
By updating the firmware, new function(s) can be
added and performance parameters improved.
2 methods of firmware update are available; one uses
the USB-Memory, and the other uses a PC.
You can choose either method according to your PC
capabilities.
When only one PC that is connected to the INTER-
NET is available
Refer to Preparation (p. 15-3) and Firmware
update—USB-Memory (p. 15-4)
When two or more PCs that are connected to the IN-
TERNET are available and they are connected to a
LAN (Local Area Network)
Refer to Preparation (p. 15-3) and either
Firmware update— PC (p. 15-6) or
Firmware update—USB-Memory (p. 15-4)
Ask your dealer or distributor about how to update the
firmware if you have no PC.
Caution
R CAUTION!: NEVER turn the receiver power OFF
while updating the firmware.
You can turn the receiver power OFF only when the re-
ceiver display shows that rebooting is required.
If you turn the receiver power OFF, or if a power failure
occurs during updating, the receiver firmware will be
corrupted and you will have to send the receiver back
to the nearest Icom distributor for repair. This type of
repair is out of warranty even if the warranty period is
still valid.
Recommendation!
Backing up the settings and/or memory contents to the
CF card or USB-Memory before starting the firmware
update is recommended.
Settings and/or memory contents will be lost or re-
turned to default settings when the firmware update is
performed.
At least one available USB (2.0 or 1.1) port is
required to copy the downloaded firmware file.
An Ethernet card/board (10 BASE-T/100 BASE TX
compatible) is required when updating the firmware
from the PC.
The USB hub and Ethernet card/board are not sup-
plied by Icom.
Ask your PC dealer about a USB hub and an
Ethernet card/board for details.
