UNPACKING
Carefully remove your transceiver from the packing carton
and examine
it for signs of shipping damage.
Should any
be apparent,
notify
the delivering carrier or dealer im-
mediately,
stating the full extent of the damage.
It is
recommended
you keep the shipping cartons.
In the event
storage,
moving,
or
reshipment
becomes
necessary
they
will be handy.
Accessory cables, plugs, etc., are packed
with the transceiver.
Make sure you have not overlooked
anything.

RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR
INSTALLATION
1. Avoid
placing
the
IC-701
in
direct
sunlight,
high
temperature, dusty or humid places.
2. The
left side
of the
unit, when
facing it, functions
also as a heatsink.
The temperature
there will usually
become
relatively
warm
during
transmission.
Any
equipment should be at least 1 inch (83cm) away from
the unit so as to provide good ventilation.
Be sure that
nothing is on and just behind the rear PA heatsink to
ensure
good ventilation.
Also avoid places near outlets
of heaters, air conditioners etc.
3. Place the unit so that the controls
and switches
can
easily
be
handled
and
the
frequency
indication
and
meter can easily be read.
4. For mobile
installation, an optional
mounting
bracket
is available.
Select the best location that can stand the
weight of the unit and that does not interfere with your
driving in any way.
5. Use the Ground Lug!

POWER SUPPLY
For AC operation, use the special power supply !C-701PS.
If you would like to use your car battery or any other DC
power supply, be sure that its output voltage is 12-15 Volts
and the current capacity is at least 20 Amps.
The maximum
power
consumption
of the set during transmission
runs
from
16-20
Amps,
so keep that in mind
if the unit is
installed in your automobile, and turn it on after you have
started the engine.
Attention
should also be paid to the
condition of the battery and electrical system.
The connection
of the DC power cord supplied with the
1C-701 is done in the following way:
First make sure that
the power switch of the unit is in the OFF
position and
the T/R switch is in the receive position.
Connect the cord
to the DC power supply with the RED lead to the positive
terminal
and the BLACK
lead to the negative terminal.
(Reverse
connection
will cause
the protection
circuit to
operate and blow the fuse.)
Connect the DC plug to the
socket
on
the
rear panel of the
!C-701.
Refer to the

ANTENNA
Antennas
play a very
important
role
in radio communi-
cation.
If the antenna is inferior, your transceiver cannot
give you the best performance.
With a good antenna and
feeder cable having 50 ohm impedance, you should easily
get the desired matching and performance.
Carefully install
a
high
performance
antenna
that
suits
the
frequency
band(s)
you
wish
to operate
on
and
place it as high as
possible.
Be especially careful
of the condition
of the
connectors
as loose connections
will deteriorate the per-
formance.
Be sure to connect the ground terminal of a
whip antenna, if used, to the body of your car.
As the output is quite high, avoid connecting the antenna
connector
to
open
lines
and
do
not
transmit
under
mismatched conditions.
Otherwise the final stage could be
overloaded and cause a malfunction of the unit.
