Use the PS-55 AC power supply when operating the IC-735 from AC
power. Refer to the diagram below.
To power the IC-735 from your car battery or any other DC power
source, be sure the output voltage is 12 to 15 volts and the current
capacity is at least 20 amps. The maximum power consumption of
the transceiver while transmitting is between 16 and 20 amps.
Always turn the transceiver ON after you start the vehicle engine,
and remember that a well-maintained battery and electrical system
perform better and longer.
Connect the AC power supply using the method described below.
(1) Make sure the power switch of the transceiver is OFF and the
T/R switch is in RECEIVE.
(2) Connect the DC power cord to the battery. Attach the RED
lead to the positive terminal and the BLACK lead to the
negative terminal.
Reversing these connections causes the
protection fuse to blow.
(3) Connect the DC plug to the DC POWER SOCKET on the rear
panel of the IC-735. Refer to the diagram below.
