ABOUT RE-EXPORTING THIS PRODUCT:

If re-exporting this product, it is your responsibility to check you are in compliance with the export regulations

of your country or the country you are exporting to. Export regulations can be highly restrictive in relation to

some of the technology implemented in this product. Your failure to comply with export regulations may sub-

ject you to fines or penalties. Please consult with the relevant Government Department in your country.

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 receiver’s 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.

➥ Turns OFF the attenuator when pushed

and held for 1 sec. (p. 5-9)

✔

What is the attenuator?

The attenuator prevents a desired signal from distorting

when very strong signals are near the receiving frequency,

or when very strong electric fields, such as from a broad-

casting station, are near your location.

➥ Selects one of 3 IF filter settings.

➥ Enters the filter set screen when pushed

and held for 1 sec.

➥ Activates and selects fast, middle or slow

AGC time constant when pushed.

(p. 5-10)

• In FM, WFM or P25 mode, only “FAST” is

available.

• “VR (volume)” indicates that AGC time con-

stant depends on [AGC] control.

➥ Enters the AGC set mode when pushed

and held for 1 sec. (p. 5-10)

AGC time constant can be set from 0.1 to 8.0 sec.

(depends on mode), or turned OFF. When AGC is

“OFF,” the S-meter does not function.

✔

What is the AGC?

The AGC controls receiver gain to produce a constant audio

output level, even when the received signal strength varies

dramatically. Select “FAST” for tuning and then select “MID”

or “SLOW” depending on the receiving conditions.

➥ Switches between the tone squelch,

DTCS squelch function and no-tone op-

■ 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 Ω

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.

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

available.

• During 30–1150 MHz operation, 10, 20, 30 dB are available.

• During 1150–3335 MHz operation, only 20 dB is avail-

able.

➥ Push and hold [ATT] for 1 sec. to turn OFF the at-

tenuator, when it’s ON.

RECEIVE FUNCTIONS

■ 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.

tone of the voice components changes within 1 sec.,

scan pauses (or stops). If the received signal includes

no voice components or the tone of the voice compo-

nents does not change within 1 sec., scan resumes.

■ 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

13.8 V/100 mA max. from [ANT SEL] connector.

■ 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.
