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.

Caution
R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery
packs with Icom radios. Only Icom battery packs are tested
and approved for use with Icom radios. Using third-party or
counterfeit battery packs may cause smoke, fire, or cause
the battery to burst.
D Battery caution
R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the
battery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely im-
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 (+7F). 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.

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

e Name : Max. 100 (in each group)
r CH : Max. 6 (in each name)
D Memory channel contents
The following information can be programmed into memory
channels:
• Operating frequency
(pgs. 20, 21)
Duplex direction (+DUP or DUP) with an offset fre-
quency
(pgs. 76, 77)
Tuning step (p. 23)
• Receiving mode (p. 19)
• Attenuator ON/OFF (p. 75)
Skip setting (pgs. 36, 46)
Priority setting (p. 47)

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.

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, 76.000107.995 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.

NOTES:
Some noise or spurious may be received when the in-
ternal bar or earphone cable is used as an antenna.
The supplied or third party’s antenna MUST BE con-
nected to the antenna connector to receive signals other
than AM or FM broadcast bands.
When receiving an AM broadcast signal with internal bar
antenna, aim the receiver to better audio direction.
When the internal bar or earphone cable is used as an
antenna, the attenuator function cannot be used.

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)

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-Ris 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.
