Installation And Connections; Selecting A Location; Front Panel Connection; Heat Dissipation - Icom IC-7300 Basic Manual

Selecting a location

Select a location for the transceiver that allows
adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold
or vibrations, and other electromagnetic sources.
The transceiver has a stand for desktop use.
Stand
CAUTION: NEVER carry the transceiver by holding the
stand, dials, controls and so on. This may damage them.

Front panel connection

[MIC] (Microphone) connector
SM-50
(Option)
Using an External Keypad
You can control the CW memory keyer, Voice memory or
RTTY memory keyer transmission from an external keypad by
connecting the control circuit to the [MIC] connector. Set the
"External Keypad" to ON on the CONNECTORS screen to use
the external keypad. (p. 8-5)

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

SM-30 HM-219
(Option) (Supplied)

Heat dissipation

• DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or put
anything on top of the transceiver. This may block
airflow and overheat the transceiver.
• NEVER install the transceiver in a place without
adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be
reduced, and the transceiver may be damaged.
• DO NOT touch the transceiver after transmitting
continuously for long periods of time. The transceiver
may become hot.

Grounding

To prevent electrical shock, television
interference (TVI), broadcast
interference (BCI) and other
problems, ground the transceiver
using the ground terminal [GND] 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.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the [GND] terminal
to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could
cause an explosion or electric shock.
[PHONES] Headphones
Accepts headphones with 8~16 Ω
impedance.
• Outputs 5 mW into an 8 Ω load.
• The volume level may differ,
depending on the headphones.
