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
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.
R CAUTION! NEVER
any unstable place (such as on a slanted surface or
vibrated place). This may cause injury and/or damage
to the transceiver.
R CAUTION! NEVER
settings of the transceiver. This may reduce trans-
ceiver performance 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 unauthorized internal adjustment.
R CAUTION! NEVER
[DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver rear panel. This
could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R CAUTION! NEVER
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.
R CAUTION! NEVER
objects protrude into the transceiver or into connectors
on the rear panel. This may result in an electric shock.
R CAUTION! NEVER
on the top, rear or bottom of the transceiver.
R CAUTION! NEVER
rain, snow or any liquids.
R CAUTION! NEVER
place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation
may be reduced, and the transceiver may be damaged.
R CAUTION! NEVER
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 children.
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 heatsink 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-
ceiver 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-
ceiver 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.
