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 reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equip-
ment generates, uses and can radiate 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 guar-
antee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. 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 interfer-
ence by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING HIGH RF VOLTAGE! NEVER
attach an antenna or internal antenna connector
during transmission. This may result in an electrical
shock or burn.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver
with a headset or other audio accessories at high
volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continu-
ous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing
in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.
R WARNING! Immediately turn the transceiver
power OFF and remove the power cable if it emits an
abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your Icom
dealer or distributor for advice.
CAUTION! NEVER put the transceiver in any
unstable place (such as on a slanted surface or
vibrated place). This may cause injury and/or damage
to the transceiver.
CAUTION! NEVER change the internal settings of
the transceiver. This may reduce transceiver perfor-
mance and/or damage to the transceiver.
In particular, incorrect settings for transmitter circuits,
such as output power, idling current, etc., might
damage the expensive final devices.
The transceiver warranty does not cover any prob
-
lems caused by unauthor
ized internal adjustment.
CAUTION! NEVER apply AC power to the
[DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver rear panel. This
could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
CAUTION! NEVER apply more than 16 V DC,
such as a 24 V battery, to the [DC13.8V] socket on
the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or
damage the transceiver.
CAUTION!
NEVER let metal, wire or other objects
protrude into the transceiver or into connectors on the
rear panel. This may result in an electric shock.
CAUTION! NEVER block any cooling vents on
the top, rear or bottom of the transceiver.
CAUTION! NEVER expose the transceiver to
rain, snow or any liquids.
CAUTION!
NEVER install the transceiver in a
place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation
may be reduced, and the transceiver may be damaged.
CAUTION! NEVER operate or touch the trans-
ceiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric
shock or damage to the transceiver.
DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine
or alcohol when cleaning the IC-7600, as they can
damage the transceiver’s surfaces.
DO NOT push the PTT switch when you don’t actu-
ally desire to transmit.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with
temperatures below ±0°C (+32°F) or above +50°C
(+122°F).
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty
environments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or
putting anything on top of the transceiver. This may
overheat the transceiver.
Always place unit in a secure place to avoid inadver-
tent use by ch
ildren.
BE CAREFUL!
If you use a linear amplifier, set the
transceiver’s RF output power to less than the linear
amplifier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear
amplifier will be damaged.
BE CAREFUL!
The rear panel will become hot when
operating the transceiver continuously for long peri-
ods of time.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional).
Other manufacturers’ microphones have different pin
assignments, and connection to the IC-7600 may
damage the transceiver or microphone.
The LCD display may have cosmetic imperfections
that appear as small dark or light spots. This is not a
malfunction or defect, but a normal characteristic of
LCD displays.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the trans
-
ce
iver and microphone as far away as possible from
the magnetic navigation compass to prevent errone-
ous indications.
Turn the transceiver power OFF and/or disconnect
the DC power cable when you will not use the trans-
ce
iver for long period of time.
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 regula-
tions.

PANEL DESCRIPTION
■ 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-7600, see ‘Supplied acces-
sories’ on p. i of this manual.
■ Selecting a location
Select a location for the transceiver that allows ade-
quate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or
vibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna ele-
ments, radios and other electromagnetic sources.
The base of the transceiver has adjustable feet
for desktop use. Set the feet to one of two angles
depending on your operating preference.
■ Grounding
To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob-
lems, ground the transceiver through the GROUND
terminal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap
to a long ground rod. Make the distance between the
[GND] terminal and ground as short as possible.
R WARNING: NEVER connect the [GND]
terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connec-
tion could cause an explosion or electric shock.
[GND]
■ Antenna connection
For radio communications, the antenna is of criti-
cal importance, along with output power and receiver
sensitivity. Select antenna(s), such as a well-matched
50 ø antenna, and feedline. We recommend 1.5:1 or
better of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) on
your operating bands. The transmission line should
be a coaxial cable.
When using a single antenna, use the [ANT1] con-
nector.
CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from light-
ning by using a lightning arrestor.

Antenna SWR
Each antenna is tuned for a specified frequency
range and SWR may be increased out-of-range.
When the SWR is higher than approx. 2.0:1, the
transceiver’s power drops to protect the final tran-
sistors. In this case, an antenna tuner is useful
to match the transceiver and antenna. Low SWR
allows full power for transmitting. The IC-7600 has
an SWR meter to monitor the antenna SWR contin-
uously.

■ Selecting an operating band
The triple band stacking register provides 3 memories
for each band key, storing frequency and mode infor-
mation.
This function is convenient when you operate 3 oper-
at
ing modes on one band. For example, one register
is used for a CW frequency, another for a SSB fre-
quency and the other one for a RTTY frequency.
If a band key is pushed once, the frequency and oper-
at
ing mode last used are called up. When the key is
pushed again, another stored frequency and operat-
ing mode are called up.
See the table below for a list of the bands available
and the default settings for each band.

D About 5 MHz band operation (USA version only)
Operation on the 5 MHz band is allowed on 5 discrete
frequencies and must adhere to the following:
• USB mode
• Maximum of 50 watts ERP (Effective Radiated Power)
• 2.8 kHz bandwidth
It’s your responsibility to set all controls so that trans-
mis
sion in this band meets the stringent conditions
under which amateur operations may use these fre-
quencies.

■ Squelch and receive (RF) sensitivity
Adjusts the RF gain and squelch threshold level.
The squelch removes noise output from the speaker
(closed position) when no signal is received.
• The squelch is particularly effective for AM and FM. It is
also available for other modes.
• 12 to 1 o’clock position is recommended for any setting of
the [RF/SQL] control.
•
The control can be set as ‘Auto’ (RF gain control in SSB,
CW, RTTY and PSK; squelch control in AM and FM) or
squelch control (RF gain is fixed at maximum) in others
set mode as follows. (p. 128)

Rotate [RF/SQL]
clockwise when receiving no signal,
until the noise just disappears.
• [RX] indicator light goes out.
• Rotating [RF/SQL]
past the threshold point invokes the S-
meter squelch— this allows you to set a minimum signal
level needed to open the squelch.

RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT
■ Repeater operation
A repeater retransmits a received signal on a differ-
ent frequency. When using a repeater, the transmit
frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by an
offset frequency. A repeater can be accessed using
split frequency operation with the transmit frequency
shifted to the repeater's receive frequency.
For accessing a repeater which requires an access
tone, set the tone frequency in tone frequency set
mode as described below.
q Set the offset frequencies (HF, 50 MHz) and turn
ON the quick split function in others set mode in
advance. (pgs. 89, 129)
w Push [VFO/MEMO] to select VFO mode.
e Push the desired band key.
r Push [AM/FM] several times to select FM mode.

■ Preamplifier
The preamp amplifies received signals in the receiver
front end, to improve the S/N ratio and sensitivity.
Set this to preamp 1 or preamp 2 when receiving
weak signals.
➥ Push [P.AMP] (MF3) several times to set the pre-
amp OFF, preamp 1 ON or preamp 2 ON.
➥ Push and hold [P.AMP] (MF3) for 1 sec. to turn the
preamp function OFF.
For all HF and 50 MHz bands
High-gain preamp for 24 MHz band
and above (Available for all HF and
50 MHz bands)
✔ About the “P.AMP2”
The “P.AMP 2” is a high gain receive amplifier. When
the “P.AMP 2” is used in the presence of strong elec-
tromagnetic fields, distortion sometimes results. In
such cases, use the transceiver 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 when using low-
gain antennas, 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 distor-
tion when very strong signals are near the desired
frequency or when very strong electromagnetic fields,
such as from broadcast stations near your location.
➥ Push [ATT] (MF4) several times to set the attenua-
tor 6 dB, 12 dB, 18 dB or attenuator OFF.
➥ Push and hold [ATT] (MF4) for 1 sec. to turn the
attenuator function OFF.

■ Twin PBT operation
<MODE> SSB/CW/RTTY/PSK/AM
PBT (Passband Tuning) electronically narrows the IF
passband width by shifting the IF frequency slightly
outside of the IF filter passband to reject interference.
The IC-7600 uses DSP for the PBT function. Moving
both [TWIN-PBT] controls to the same position shifts
the IF both above and below the received frequency.
➥ The LCD shows the passband width and shift fre-
quency graphically.
• The indicator on the [PBT-CLR] switch lights when
PBT is in use.
➥ 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
(SSB/CW/RTTY/PSK modes) or 100 Hz (AM mode)
steps.
• The [TWIN-PBT] controls should normally be set to
the center positions (PBT setting is cleared) when
there is no interference.
• When PBT is used, the audio tone may be changed.
• Not available for FM mode.
• While rotating the [TWIN-PBT] controls, noise may
occur. This comes from the DSP unit and does not
indicate an equipment malfunction.
• Push and hold [DEF] (F-4) for 1 sec. to select a
default value.

out.
e While pushing and holding [XFC], rotate the main
dial to set the transmit frequency to 21.310 MHz.
• The transmit frequency can be monitored while push-
ing [XFC].
r Now you can receive on 21.290 MHz and transmit
on 21.310 MHz.
To change the transmit and receive frequencies, push
[CHANGE] to exchange the main and sub readouts.
✔ CONVENIENT
• Direct shift frequency input

■ Quick split function
When you find a DX station, an important consider-
ation is how to set the split frequency.
When you push and hold the [SPLIT]
switch for 1
sec., the split frequency operation is turned ON, and
the sub readout frequency and operating mode is
equalized to the main readout, then enters standby
for transmit frequency input.
This shortens the time needed to begin split fre-
quency operat
ion.
The quick split function is ON by default. For your
convenience, it can be turned OFF in others set
mode. (p. 129) In this case, the [SPLIT]
switch does
not equalize the main and sub readout frequencies.
q Suppose you are operating at 21.290 MHz (USB)
in VFO mode.
w Push and hold [SPLIT] for 1 sec.
• Split frequency operation is turned ON.
• [SPLIT] indicator lights.
• The sub readout frequency and operating mode is
equalized to the main readout.
• The sub readout enters standby for transmit frequency
input and “
” appears.
• During FM mode operation, the sub readout frequency
shifts from the main readout frequency according to the
others set mode setting. (p. 129)
• The tone encoder function is turned ON in FM mode.
e Rotate the main dial to set the transmit frequency;
or, input the transmit frequency using the keypad
and [F-INP ENT]; or, input a shift frequency using
the keypad and [SPLIT].
• “ ” disappears when [F-INP ENT] is pushed.
• Offset frequency setting with the keypad and [SPLIT].
[Example]
To transmit on 1 kHz higher frequency:
- Push
[1.8 1] then [SPLIT].
To transmit on 3 kHz lower frequency:
- Push [GENE •], [7 3] then [SPLIT].
D Split lock function
The split lock function is convenient for changing only
the transmit frequency. When the split lock function
is not used, accidentally releasing [XFC] while rotat-
ing the main dial, changes the receive frequency. The
split lock function is OFF by default, but can be turned
ON in others set mode. (p. 129)
q While split frequency operation is ON, push and
hold [SPEECH/LOCK] for 1 sec. to activate the
split lock function.
• [LOCK] indicator lights.
w While pushing and holding [XFC], rotate the main
dial to change the transmit frequency.
• If you accidentally release [XFC] while rotating the
main dial, the receive frequency does NOT change.

MEMORY OPERATION
■ Memo pads
The transceiver has a memo pad function to store
frequency and operating mode for easy writing and
recalling. The memo pads are separate from memory
channels.
The default number of memo pads is 5, however, this
can be increased to 10 in set mode if desired. (p. 132)
Memo pads are convenient when you want to mem-
orize a frequency and operating mode temporarily,
such as when you find a DX station in a pile-up, or
when a desired station is busy for a long time and you
want to temporarily search for other stations.
Use the transceiver’s memo pads instead of relying
on hastily scribbled notes that are easily misplaced.
MP-RMP-W
D Writing frequencies and operating modes into memo pads
You can store the readout frequency and operating
mode by pushing [MP-W].
When you store the 6th frequency and operating
mode, the oldest stored frequency and operating
mode are automatically erased to make room for the
new settings.
Each memo pad must have its own unique combi-
nation of frequency and operating mode; memo
pads having identical settings cannot be written.
MP-W
Newest
Erased
Oldest
In this example, 21.276 MHz (USB) will be erased
when 7.067 MHz (LSB) is written.
D Calling up a frequency from a memo pad
You can call up the desired frequency and operat-
ing mode of a memo pad by pushing [MP-R] several
times.
• Both VFO and memory modes can be used.
• The frequency and operating mode are called up, starting
from the most recently written.
When you call up a frequency and an operating mode
from memo pads with [MP-R], the previously dis-
played frequency and operating mode are automat-
ically stored in a temporary pad. The frequency and
operating mode in the temporary pad can be recalled
by pushing [MP-R] several times.
• You may think there are 6 memo pads because 6 different
frequencies (5 are in memo pads and 1 is in the tempo-
rary pad) are called up by [MP-R].
If you change the frequency or operating mode
called up from a memo pad with the main dial, etc.,
the frequency and operating mode in the tempo-
rary pad are erased.

ory mode) or in the memory list screen.
• Scan resume ON/OFF
You can select the scan to resume or cancel when
detecting a signal in scan set mode. Scan resume ON/
OFF must be set before performing a scan. See p. 106
for ON/OFF setting and scan resume condition details.
• Scan speed
Scan speed can be selected from 2 levels, high or
low, in scan set mode. See p. 106 for details.
• Squelch condition
❍ Scan starts with squelch open
For programmed scan:
When
 tuning step is 1 kHz or less:
The scan continues until it is stopped manually— it
does not pause* even if signals are detected.
* The scan is paused when the squelch is closed and
then opened (scan resumes after 10 sec. has passed
when
the scan resume is ON; scan is cancelled when
the scan resume is OFF).
When tuning step is more than 5 kHz:
The scan pauses on each step when the scan
resume is ON; not applicable when the scan
resume is OFF.
For memory scan:
Scan pauses on each channel when the scan resume
i
s ON; not applicable when the scan resume is OFF.
❍ Scan starts with squelch closed
Scan stops when a signal is detected.
• If the scan resume is set to ON in scan set mode, the scan
pauses for 10 sec. when detecting a signal, then resumes.
When a signal disappears while scan is paused, scan
resumes 2 sec. later.
• The scan function can be used on the main read-
out only.
• You can perform a scan while operating on a fre-
quency using the dualwatch or split functions.

■ Automatic antenna selection
The transceiver covers 0.03–60 MHz over 10 bands.
Each band key has a band memory which can mem-
orize a selected antenna (ANT1, ANT2, ANT1/RX
antenna and ANT2/RX antenna). When you change
the operating frequency beyond a band, the previ-
ously used antenna is automatically selected. This
function is convenient when you use 2 or 3 antennas.
To use the band memory, enter set mode and con-
firm that “Auto” is selected as the [ANT] switch item.
(p. 130)
• Antenna selection mode: “Auto” (default)
The antenna tuner ON/OFF condition is also memo-
rized in the band memory.
[Example]: a 3.5/7 MHz antenna is connected to
[ANT1], a 21/28/50 MHz antenna is connected to
[ANT2]. When the antenna selector function is set to
“Auto,” an antenna is automatically selected when the
transceiver changes bands.
• Antenna selection mode: “Manual”
[ANT] (MF1) functions, however, band memory does
not function. In this case, you must select an antenna
manually.
When using an external antenna selector for more
than 3 antennas (except for receive antenna),
“Manual” should be selected as the [ANT] switch set
mode item. (p. 130)
NOTE: When “Auto” or “Manual” is selected, the
antenna tuner ON/OFF condition is consistent with
[ANT] (MF1).
• Antenna selection mode: “OFF”
[ANT] (MF1) does not function and [ANT1] is always
selected.

■ Antenna tuner operation
The internal automatic antenna tuner matches the
transceiver to the connected antenna automatically.
After the tuner matches an antenna, the variable capac-
itor settings are memorized as a preset point for each
frequency range (100 kHz steps). Therefore, when you
change the frequency range, the variable capacitors are
automatically preset to the memorized setting.
CAUTION: NEVER transmit with the tuner ON
when no antenna is connected. This will damage
the transceiver. Be careful of the antenna selection.
✔ For your convenience
When you purchase a brand-new antenna, or you want
to change the antenna settings, you can erase the all
of the internal antenna tuner preset points with “Tuner
Preset Memory Clear” in others set mode. (p. 130)
D Tuner operation
➥ Push [TUNER] to turn the internal antenna tuner
ON. The antenna is tuned automatically when the
antenna SWR is higher than 1.5:1.
• When the tuner is ON, the indicator on the switch
lights green.
• While tuning, the indicator on the switch blinks.
D Manual tuning
During SSB operation at low voice levels, the internal
tuner may not automatically tune correctly. In such
cases, manual tuning is helpful.
➥ Push and hold [TUNER] for 1 sec., to start man-
ual tuning.
• A sidetone is emitted and the indicator on the
switch blinks red while tuning.
• If the tuner cannot reduce the SWR to less than
1.5:1 after 20 sec. of tuning, the indicator on the
switch goes out.
NOTES:
• NEVER transmit without an antenna properly con-
nected to antenna port in use.
• When 2 antennas are connected, select the
antenna to be used with [ANT] (MF1).
• If the SWR is higher than about 1.5:1 when tun-
ing farther than 100 kHz from an antenna’s pro-
grammed preset point, push and hold [TUNER] for
1 sec. to start manual tuning.
• The internal tuner may not be able to tune in
AM mode. In such cases, push and hold [TUNER]
for 1 sec. to manually tune.
TUNER

ANTENNA TUNER OPERATION
❍ If the tuner cannot tune the antenna
Check the following and try again:
•
the [ANT] connector selection.
• the antenna connection and feedline.
• the untuned antenna SWR. (Less than 3:1 for HF
bands; Less than 2.5:1 for 50 MHz band)
• the transmit power. (8 W for HF bands; 15 W for
50 MHz band)
• the power source voltage/capacity.
If the tuner cannot reduce the SWR to less than 1.5:1
after check
ing the above, perform the following:
• repeat manual tuning several times.
• adjust the antenna feedline length. (This is effective
for higher frequencies in some cases.)
Even if the manual tune does not tune the antenna and
the tuner turns OFF at the first time, it may tune the
antenna at the second time.
❍ Tuning a narrow bandwidth antenna
Some antennas, especially for the low bands, have
a narrow bandwidth. These antennas may not be
tuned beyond the edge of their operating bandwidth,
therefore, tune such an antenna as follows:
[Example]: Suppose you have an antenna which
has an SWR of 1.5:1 at 3.55 MHz and
an SWR of 3:1 at 3.8 MHz.
q Set 3.55 MHz and push and hold [TUNER] for
1 sec. to start manual tuning.
w Set 3.80 MHz and push and hold [TUNER] for
1 sec. to start manual tuning.
■ Optional external tuner operation
• AH-4 HF AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER
The AH-4 matches the IC-7600 to a long wire antenna
more than 7 m/23 ft long (3.5 MHz and above).
• See p. 18 for the transceiver and AH-4 connection.
• See the AH-4 instruction manual for AH-4 installa-
tion and antenna connection details.
AH-4 setting example:
For mobile operation
For outdoor operation
Long wire
Optional AH-2b
antenna element
R DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE!
NEVER touch the antenna element while tuning
or transmitting.
NEVER operate the AH-4 without an antenna wire.
The tuner and transceiver will be damaged.
NEVER operate the AH-4 when it is not grounded.
Transmitting before tuning may damage the trans-
ce
iver. Note that the AH-4 cannot tune when using a
½λ long wire or multiple of the operating frequency.
When connecting the AH-4, the antenna connector
assignments are [ANT2] for the internal tuner and
[ANT1] for the AH-4. The antenna indicator in the
LCD displays “ANT1(EXT)” when the AH-4 is con-
nected and selected.
• AH-4 operation
Tuning is required for each frequency. Be sure to
re-tune the antenna before transmitting when you
change the frequency— even slightly.
q Set the desired frequency in an HF or 50 MHz
band for use with the AH-4.
• The AH-4 will not operate on frequencies outside
of ham bands.
w Push and hold [TUNER] for 1 sec.
• The indicator on the switch blinks while tuning.
TUNER
e The indicator on the switch lights constantly when
tuning is complete.
• When the connected wire cannot be tuned, the
indicator on the switch goes out and the AH-4 is
bypassed. At that point the antenna wire connec-
tion is to the transceiver directly, and not via the
AH-4 antenna tuner.
r To bypass the AH-4 manually, push [TUNER].
NOTE: PTT tuner function is also available. See
p. 129 for details.
• Antenna tuner of the IC-PW1/EURO
When using an external antenna tuner such as the IC-
PW1/EURO’s tuner, tune with the external antenna
tuner, while the internal tuner is turned OFF. After tun-
ing is completed, turn the internal tuner ON.
Otherwise, both tuners tune simultaneously and cor-
rect tuning may not be obtained.
See the instruction manual included with each
antenna tuner for their respective operations.

• Automatic tuner start (HF bands only)
If you want to deactivate the tuner under conditions
of VSWR 1.5:1 or less, use the auto tuner start func-
tion and turn the tuner OFF. This function activates
the tuner automatically when the SWR is high.
This function is controlled in set mode. (p. 129).
• The tuner may not be activated if the TX power is not
output stably longer than the specified time period as
SSB or CW mode operation.
• PTT tuner start
Tuning of the internal*/external antenna tuner starts
when [PTT] is pushed on a new frequency (more than
1% from last-tuned frequency). This function removes
the “push and hold [TUNER]” operation and activates
for the first transmission on a new frequency.
*Tuning starts if the internal antenna tuner is ON.
This function is turned ON in set mode. (p. 129).

■ About protection indications
The IC-7600 has a 2-step protection function to pro-
tect the final power amplifiers.
The protector monitors the power amplifier temper-
ature and activates when the temperature becomes
extremely high.
• Power down transmission
Reduces the transmit output power to 50 W.
“LMT” appears beside the TX indicator (p. 14) dur-
ing transmit.
• Transmission inhibit
Deactivates the transmitter.
The TX indicator (p. 14) is displayed in gray during
transmit.
When the protector is activated, wait until the
power amplifier cools down using the transceiver in
stand-by or receive condition.
NOTE: DO NOT turn the transceiver power OFF
when the protector is ON. If you do, the cooling fan
will not function and it will take longer to cool the
transceiver.
The power amplifier temperature can be monitored in
the multi-function meter, TEMP gauge.
■ Screen saver function
The IC-7600 has a screen saver function to protect
the LCD from the “burn-in” effect.

Convenient when carrying the transceiver.
The same as that attached with the transceiver.
■ General
The IC-7600’s firmware can be updated if desired. By
updating the firmware, new function(s) can be added
and the improvement of performance parameters can
be obtained.
Refer to ■ Preparation (p. 163) and ■ Firmware
update
(p. 164) for details
.
Ask your dealer or distributor about how to update the
firmware if you have no PC.
■ Caution
CAUTION: NEVER turn the transceiver power OFF
while updating the firmware.
You can turn the transceiver power OFF only when
the transceiver displays that rebooting is required.
If you turn the transceiver power OFF, or if a power
failure occurs during updating, the transceiver firm-
ware will be corrupted and you will have to send the
transceiver 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 USB-Memory before starting the firmware update
is recommended.
Settings and/or memory contents will be lost or
returned to default settings when the firmware update
is performed.

UPDATING THE FIRMWARE
INSTALLATION NOTES
For amateur base station installations it is recom-
mended that the forward clearance in front of the an-
tenna array is calculated relative to the EIRP (Effec-
tive Isotropic Radiated Power). The clearance height
below the antenna array can be determined in most
cases from the RF power at the antenna input termi-
nals.
As different exposure limits have been recommended
for different frequencies, a relative table shows a
guideline for installation considerations.
Below 30 MHz, the recommended limits are specified
in terms of V/m or A/m fields as they are likely to fall
within the near-field region. Similarly, the antennas
may be physically short in terms of electrical length
and that the installation will require some antenna
matching device which can create local, high intensity
magnetic fields. Analysis of such MF installations is
best considered in association with published guid-
ance
notes such as the FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition
97-01 and its annexes relative to amateur transmitter
installations.
The EC recommended limits are almost identical to
the FCC specified ‘uncontrolled’ limits and tables exist
that show pre-calculated safe distances for different
antenna types for different frequency bands. Further
information can be found at http://www.arrl.org/.
• Typical amateur radio installation
Exposure
distance assumes that the predominant ra-
diation pattern is forward and that radiation vertically
downwards is at unity gain (sidelobe suppression is
equal to main lobe gain). This is true of almost every
gain antenna today. Exposed persons are assumed
to be beneath the antenna array and have a typical
height of 1.8 m.
The figures assume the worst case emission of a
constant carrier.
For the bands 10 MHz and higher the following power
density limits have been recommended:
10–50 MHz 2 W/sq m
Vertical clearance by EIRP output
1 Watts 2.1 m
10 Watts 2.8 m
25 Watts 3.4 m
100 Watts 5 m
1000 Watts 12 m
Forward clearance by EIRP output
100 Watts 2 m
1000 Watts 6.5 m
10,000 Watts 20 m
100,000 Watts 65 m
In all cases any possible risk depends on the trans-
mitter being activated for long periods. (actual recom-
mendation limits are specified as an average during 6
minutes) Normally the transmitter is not active for long
periods of time. Some radio licenses will require that a
timer circuit automatically cuts off the transmitter after
1–2 minutes etc.
Similarly some modes of transmission, SSB, CW, AM
etc. have a lower ‘average’ output power and the as-
sessed risk is even lower.
Versions of the IC-7600 which display the
“CE” symbol on the serial number seal,
comply with the essential requirements of
the European Radio and Telecommunica-
tion Terminal Directive 1999/5/EC.
This warning symbol indicates that this
equipment operates in non-harmonised
frequency bands and/or may be subject to
lic
ensing conditions in the country of use.
Be sure to check that you have the correct
version of this radio or the correct pro-
gramming of this radio, to comply with na-
tional licensing requirement.
