RWARNING! NEVER operate the receiver 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 discontinue use.

RWARNING! NEVER operate the receiver while

driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—

anything less may result in an accident.

RWARNING! NEVER connect the receiver directly

to an AC outlet. This may pose a ﬁre hazard or result in an

electric shock.

RCAUTION! NEVER connect the receiver to a

power source other than the speciﬁed Icom products. Such a

connection will ruin the receiver.

DO NOT use or place the receiver in direct sunlight or

in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14˚F) or above

+60°C (+140˚F).

Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by

children.

DO NOT use of chemical agents such as benzene or

alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the receiver’s

surfaces.

KEEP away from heavy rain, and never immerse the IC-RX7

in the water. The receiver meets IPX4* requirements for splash

resistance. However, once the receiver has been dropped,

splash resistance cannot be guaranteed because of possible

damage to the receiver’s case or waterproof seal.

* Only when the supplied battery pack (or optional battery

case), antenna and jack cover are attached.

NEVER operate or touch the receiver with wet hands. This

may result in an electric shock or damage the receiver.

Even when the receiver power is OFF, a slight current still

flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or batteries

from the receiver while not using it for a long time. Other-

wise, the installed battery pack or batteries will become ex-

hausted, and will need to be recharged or replaced.

RESPECT other people’s privacy. Information overheard

but not intended for you cannot lawfully be used in any way.

For U.S.A. only

CAUTION!: Changes or modifications to this device, not

expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to

operate this device under FCC regulations.

FCC INFORMATION

• FOR CLASS B UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:

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 reason-

able protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radi-

ate 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 interference will not occur in a particular in-

stallation. If this equipment 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 interference by one or more of the following

measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and re-

ceiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit differ-

ent from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-

cian for help.

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-RX7 receives RF energy from 0.150 MHz* to 1300 MHz*

and converts it into audio frequency (AF) energy which in

turn actuates a loudspeaker to create sound waves. AF en-

ergy 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.

OPERATING NOTES

The IC-RX7 may receive its own oscillated frequency, result-

ing in no reception or only noise reception, on some fre-

quencies.

The IC-RX7 may receive interference from extremely strong

signals on different frequencies or when using an external

high-gain antenna.

pacted or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to

heavy pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on the

outside of the case. Even if the surface of the battery does

not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the

battery may rupture or catch ﬁre.

• R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas

with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High tempera-

ture buildup in the battery, such as could occur near fires

or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight

may cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive

temperatures may also degrade battery performance or

shorten battery life.

• R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow,

seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet

battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before

using.

• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate a used battery pack since

internal battery gas may cause it to rupture, or may cause

an explosion.

• R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or

NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat gen-

eration, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch

ﬁre.

• R DANGER! Use the battery only with the receiver for

which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other

equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this

instruction manual.

• R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your

eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean

water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.

• WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits

an abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If

any of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or

distributor.

• WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part

of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside

the battery.

Misuse of Lithium-Ion batteries may result in the fol-

lowing hazards: smoke, ﬁre, or the battery may rupture.

Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degra-

dation of battery performance.

• WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven,

high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker.

This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery

to rupture.

• CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specified

temperature range for the receiver (–10˚C to +60˚C; +14˚

F to +140˚F) and the battery itself (–20˚C to +60˚C; –4˚F to

+140˚F). Using the battery out of its speciﬁed temperature

range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery

life. Please note that the speciﬁed temperature range of the

battery may exceed that of the receiver. In such cases, the

receiver may not work properly because it is out of its oper-

ating temperature range.

• CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery

is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an ex-

cessive temperature environment (above +50˚C; +122˚F)

for an extended period of time. If the battery must be left

unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio

after discharging. You may use the battery until the battery

indicator shows half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool

dry place with the below temperature range.

–20˚C (–4˚F) to +50˚C (+122˚F) (within a month).

–20˚C (–4˚F) to +35˚C (+95˚F) (within three months).

–20˚C (–4˚F) to +20˚C (+68˚F) (within a year).

D Charging caution

• R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with

extremely high temperatures, such as near ﬁres or stoves,

inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such en-

vironments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will

activate, causing the battery to stop charging.

• WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the re-

ceiver beyond the speciﬁed time for charging. If the battery

is not completely charged by the speciﬁed time, stop charg-

ing and remove the external DC power from the receiver.

Continuing to charge the battery beyond the speciﬁed time

limit may cause a ﬁre, overheating, or the battery may rup-

ture.

• CAUTION! DO NOT charge the battery outside of the

specified temperature range: +5˚C to +35˚C (+41˚F to

+95˚F). Icom recommends charging the battery at

+25˚C (+77˚F). The battery may heat up or rupture if

charged out of the specified temperature range. Addition-

ally, battery performance or battery life may be reduced.

BATTERY CHARGING

New2001

■ Charging

Prior to using the receiver for the ﬁrst time, the battery pack

must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.

D Battery indicator and charging indicator

When the receiver’s power is OFF, the charging indicator

shows “

,” “ ” and “ ” in sequence with “Charg-

ing...” while charging, and indicator disappears when com-

pletely charged.

When the receiver’s power is ON, the battery indicator

shows “

,” “ ” and “ (disappears)” in sequence

while charging, and indicator disappears when completely

charged.

D Charging note

• Be sure to turn the receiver power OFF.

Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged completely or takes

longer to charge time periods.

• External DC power operation becomes possible when

using an optional CP-18A/E. The attached battery pack is

also charged simultaneously.

•

If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after

being charged, fully charge the battery pack again. If the

battery pack still does not retain a charge (or very little), a

new battery pack must be purchased.

q

Insert the battery pack (BP-244) into the receiver. (p. 2)

w Plug the battery charger (BC-149A/D*) into an AC outlet;

or the optional CP-18A/E into a cigarette lighter socket.

* Not supplied with some versions.

e Turn OFF the receiver, then insert the adapter plug into

[DC 6V] of the receiver.

CAUTION: BE SURE to disconnect the CP-18A/E from

the cigarette lighter socket when charging is finished. A

slight current drain from the CP-18A/E will eventually

drain the vehicle’s battery.

D Voice squelch control (VSC)

This function is useful when you don’t want unmodulated

signals pausing or cancelling a search/scan. When the voice

squelch control function is activated, the receiver checks

received signals for voice components. If a received sig-

nal includes voice components, and the tone of the voice

components changes within 1 sec., search/scan pauses (or

stops). If the received signal includes no voice components

or the tone of the voice components does not change within

1 sec., search/scan resumes.

D AM antenna selection (AM ANTENNA)

This setting is active only for the AM broadcast band, 0.495–

1.620 MHz (differ according to the version) reception.

• EXT-DX : Use the antenna connected to the an-

tenna connector, and then received sig-

nals are bypass the RF ﬁlter.

• EXT-LOCAL : Use the antenna connected to the an-

tenna connector, and then received sig-

nals are ﬁltered by the RF ﬁlter.

• BAR : Use the internal bar antenna for AM

broadcast band reception. (default)

Bar antenna setting External antenna (DX) setting

The RF ﬁlter for EXT-LOCAL does not only reject the in-

terference, but also reduces the receive sensitivity. Thus

the EXT-LOCAL setting is not recommended for weak sig-

nal operation.

D FM antenna selection (FM ANTENNA)

This setting is active for all band and all receiving mode,

but it is mostly effective only for the strong signal, such as

FM broadcast band, 76.000–107.995 MHz (actual recep-

tion range differs according to version). When using an ear-

phone, the FM antenna setting may cause interference on

other bands, and should be turned OFF.

• EXT : Use the antenna connected to the an-

tenna connector. (default)

• EARPHONE : Use the connected earphone’s cable as

the antenna for reception.

■ Duplex operation

Duplex communication uses 2 different frequencies for

transmitting and receiving. Generally, duplex is used in con-

versational communications, when both parties can speak

and hear at the same time.

During duplex operation, the transmit station frequency is

shifted from the receive station frequency by the offset fre-

quency. Repeater information (offset frequency and shift di-

rection) can be programmed into memory channels. (p. 55)

D Setting

q

Set the receive station frequency (repeater output fre-

quency) in VFO mode.

■ Tone/DTCS squelch operation

D Tone and DTCS squelches

The tone squelch (CTCSS) or DTCS squelch opens only

when receiving a signal containing a matching subaudible

tone or DTCS code, respectively. You can silently wait for

calls from group members using the same tone or code.

D Reverse tone/DTCS squelch

The reverse tone/DTCS squelch is convenient if you want

to ignore a specific signal. The receiver mutes the squelch

when a signal with the matched tone or code is received.

“TSQL-R” / “DTCS-R” is displayed when the reverse tone/

DTCS is set.

D Pocket beep

These functions use subaudible tones or DTCS codes for

calling and can be used as a “common pager” to inform you

that someone has called while you were away from the re-

ceiver.
