  • Page 2: Important

    NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. NEVER install the IC-M700PRO into a plus-grounding ship. Such a connection might blow fuses and is not usable. DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzene or al- cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the trans- ceiver’s surfaces.

  • Page 3: Versions

    Push [ALARM] to turn the alarm transmission off, then push and hold the PTT switch on the micro- phone and send the following information: VERSIONS The following versions are available for the IC-M700PRO.

    Appears while receiving and when the squelch is open. e TUNE INDICATOR (p. 8) Flashes while the connected antenna tuner, such as Icom’s AT-130, is being tuned. • Tuning starts when transmitting on a new frequency or pushing the [TUNE] switch. r TRANSMIT INDICATOR Appears when transmitting.

  • Page 9: Selecting A Channel/Frequency

    SELECTING A CHANNEL/FREQUENCY I Memory mode/VFO mode The transceiver has 2 operating modes: memory mode and VFO mode. Memory mode is used to select pre- programmed marine channels in one of the 3 channel groups; VFO mode is used to select frequencies around preprogrammed channels.

    SELECTING A CHANNEL D Scan function The scan function allows you to automatically search channels within a group for signals. There are 2 scan types (selectable in set mode) as follows: Channel scan ch 2 ch 3 ch 1 ch 50 ch 5 Channel resume scan ch 2...

  • Page 11: I Resetting The Cpu

    I Resetting the CPU Under some circumstances the transceiver’s internal CPU may cause erroneous indications on the display. If this happens, reset the CPU as follows: While pushing [ENT] + [0], push [POWER] to turn power on. • The CPU is reset and the display at right appears. CAUTION: Resetting the CPU returns set mode contents to their default values.

  • Page 13: I Functions For Receive

    I Functions for receive D Squelch function The squelch function detects signals with voice com- ponents and squelches (mutes) unwanted signals such as unmodulated beat signals. This provides quiet standby. When you need to receive weak signals, the squelch should be turned off. D Noise blanker The noise blanker function reduces pulse type noise such as that coming from engine ignitions.

    ➥ FSK shift frequency and FSK polarity can be adjusted in set mode (p. 12). ➥ Some transceivers my operate 1.7 kHz higher than the IC-M700PRO’s J2B mode even when the same displayed frequencies are in use. CW key connection...

  • Page 15: Set Mode

    I Set mode contents (1) Connected antenna tuner The transceiver has several tuner control systems for use with an optional Icom antenna tuner. Select the condition depending on the connected antenna tuner. NOTE: Internal switch selection may be required when using a non-Icom tuner (p. 19).
  • Page 16 SET MODE (4) Scan speed Selects scan speed as follows: Faster (5) CW/FSK narrow filter This item selects the passband width for CW (A1A), FSK or J2B mode. ✍ NOTE: When “on” is selected without optional fil- ter installation, the transceiver does not function in these modes.
  • Page 17 (10) ID number setting for remote control When connecting an external controller such as a personal computer, 2-digit ID codes are required to access the transceiver. The IC-M700PRO adopts NMEA0183 format and uses a “proprietary sentence” for remote control. (11) Remote control input terminal Remote control signals can be input via the [RE- MOTE] socket or [CLONE] jack.
