FOREWORD

We understand that you have a choice of many differ-ent radios in the market place. We want to take a cou-ple of moments of your time to thank you for makingthe IC-7400 your radio of choice, and hope you agreewith Icom’s philosophy of “technology ﬁrst”.Many hoursof research and development went into the design ofyour IC-7400.

FEATURES

•32-bit Floating point DSPand 24-bit AD/DAconverter •DSPIFFilter creates 102 types of ﬁlter •All mode capability covering 160–2m •100 Watt continuous duty cycle •All mode digital modulation and demodulation •RTTYdemodulator and decoder •Twin Pass Band Tuning •RFspeech compression with selectable pass band •Microphone Equalizer •SSB/CW synchronous tuning

IMPORTANT

READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUALCAREFULLY

before attempting to operate thetransceiver.

SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

Thismanual contains important safety and operating in-structions for the IC-7400.

EXPLICITDEFINITIONSPRECAUTIONS

R

WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER

attach anantenna or internal antenna connector during transmis-sion. This may result in an electrical shock or burn.

R

NEVER

apply AC to the [DC13.8V] jack on the trans-ceiver rear panel. This could cause a ﬁre or ruin the trans-ceiver.

R

NEVER

apply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 Vbattery, to the [DC13.8V] jack on the transceiver rearpanel. This could cause a ﬁre or ruin the transceiver.

R

NEVER

let metal, wire or other objects touch any in-ternal part or connectors on the rear panel of the trans-ceiver. This may result in an electric shock.

NEVER

expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.

AVOID

using or placing the transceiver in areas with tem-peratures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F).Be aware that temperatures on a vehicle’s dashboard canexceed 80°C (+176°F), resulting in permanent damage tothe transceiver if left there for extended periods.

AVOID

placing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-ronments or in direct sunlight.

AVOID

placing the transceiver against walls or puttinganything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heatdissipation.Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use bychildren.During mobile operation,

DO NOT

operate the transceiverwithout running the vehicle’s engine. When the trans-ceiver’s power is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF,the vehicle’s battery will soon become exhausted.Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before startingthe vehicle. This will avoid possible damage to the trans-ceiver by ignition voltage spikes.

During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiverand microphone as far away as possible from the magneticnavigation compass to prevent erroneous indications.

BE CAREFUL! The heatsink will become hot when oper-ating the transceiver continuously for long periods.BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplifier is connected, set thetransceiver’s RF output power to less than the linear am-plifier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear ampli-fier will be damaged.Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Othermanufacturer’s microphones have different pin assign-ments, and connection to the IC-7400 may damage thetransceiver.

WORD DEFINITION

R

WARNING

Personal injury, ﬁre hazard or electricshock may occur.

CAUTION

Equipment damage may occur.

NOTE

If disregarded, inconvenience only. Norisk or personal injury, fire or electricshock.
