> RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits
> Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be
> observed when operating this device. If you have any
> questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards
> please refer to the Federal Communications Commission
> Office of Engineering and Technologys report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio
> Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).
>
> RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER attach an
> antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn.
>
> RNEVER apply AC to the [DC13.8V] receptacle on the
> transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage
> the transceiver.
>
> RNEVER apply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 V
> battery, to the [DC13.8V] receptacle on the transceiver
> rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
>
> RNEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any internal part or connectors on the rear panel of the transceiver. This may result in an electric shock.
>
>
> NEVER expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
>
> AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with temperatures below 10C (+14F) or above +60C (+140F).
> Be aware that temperatures on a vehicles dashboard can
> exceed 80C (+176F), resulting in permanent damage to
> the transceiver if left there for extended periods.
>
> AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight.
>
> AVOID placing the transceiver against walls or putting
> anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat
> dissipation.
>
> Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by
> children.
>
> During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver
> without running the vehicles engine. When the transceivers power is ON and your vehicles engine is OFF,
> the vehicles battery will soon become exhausted.
>
> Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before starting
> the vehicle. This will avoid possible damage to the transceiver by ignition voltage spikes.
>
> During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiver
> and microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic
> navigation compass to prevent erroneous indications.
>
> BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when operating the transceiver continuously for long periods.
>
> BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplifier is connected, set the
> transceivers RF output power to less than the linear amplifiers maximum input level, otherwise, the linear amplifier will be damaged.
>
> Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other
> manufacturers microphones have different pin assignments, and connection to the IC-703 may damage the
> transceiver.
>
> Beat signals may be heard on some frequencies.
> These will occur as a result of circuit construction.
>
> For U.S.A. only
>
> Caution: Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not
> expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority
> to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

> Installation
> 1. Install a ground system for DC noise suppression
> and RFI suppression
> 2. Install your DC power supply
> 3. Install lightning protection. This will help protect
> more than your gear.
> 1. Grounding your Shack
> 2. Installing your DC Power Supply
> 4. Install and connect an antenna system for the appropriate bands of operation
> 5. Connect other peripheral equipment. This includes
> microphones, headsets, TNC, amplifiers and any
> other equipment necessary to make your shack
> complete.
> Although your radio will operate by connecting the DC
> power supply and antenna, it is necessary to have a
> good ground system in your shack. A ground connec-
> tion is the electrical contact between the common
> point of an electrical or electronic system and the
> earth.
> A good earth ground is necessary to prevent electrical
> shock, eliminate problems from RFI and DC noise.
> With more electronic devices being used today, it is
> also important to reduce RFI and EMI. Although you
> may not see interference in your shack, without a
> grounding system, your neighbours may experience
> interference. Even though many of these devices are
> Part 15, where they must accept interference from
> their surrounding environment, it is best to eliminate
> as much of the possible interference from your shack.
> If you do not have a grounding system for your shack,
> depending on the location of your shack, basement or
> ground floor, a good ground system can be as simple
> as a couple of ground rods driven 6 to 8 feet into the
> soil. When installing your IC-703 to your grounding
> system, the shortest most direct connection is recom-
> mended.
> NOTE: There are many publications covering
> proper grounding techniques. Check with your local
> dealer for more information and recommendations.
> RWARNING!: NEVER ground station equip-
> ment or antennas to house gas lines. NEVER at-
> tach ground lines to plastic (pvc) pipe.
> DDSome Symptoms if inadequate grounding
> a. Poor DC Ground
> 50/60 Hz hum on the audio either Rx or Tx without
> the antenna connected.
> If you feel a tingling sensation when you touch a
> metal surface. Surfaces such as the cover of your
> radio or power supply.
> b. Poor RF Ground
> While transmitting and you feel a tingling sensation
> when you touch a metal surface. Surfaces such as
> the cover of your radio or power supply.
> While transmitting, you experience interference to
> other electronic devices, such as the telephone,
> television or stereo audio systems.
> The DC power supply is a device used to convert
> 110/220 V AC, also know as Household current, to a
> steady source of 13.8 V DC.
> The perfect match to your IC-703 is the PS-125. This
> plug and play unit plugs into the DC power recepta-
> cle using an optional OPC-1248 located on the rear
> of the radio.
> Or connect the supplied DC power cable (OPC-1229)
> to the appropriate color coded terminals, then insert
> the DC connector into the DC power receptacle lo-
> cated on the rear of the radio.
> NOTE: Although the power supply current require-
> ment is quite low during receiving, this not the case
> when you transmit. With many electrical devices in
> the shack, it is very important to verify the electrical
> circuit is not overloaded.

> Although you may not live in an area with high occur-
> NOTE: There are many publications covering
> rence for lightning storms, it is always wise to take
>
> proper lightning protection, check with your local
> precautions for lightning or static discharges. Proper
>
> dealer for more information and recommendations.
> lightning protection not only offers protection to the
> ham gear, but the shack and most importantly the operator.
>
> 4. Installing your antenna system
> Whether your IC-703 is your first radio or one of
> many, one of your key elements in a great shack is
> the antenna system. There is a connection on the
> back of your IC-703, for HF and 6 m. If you are using
> one antenna for HF and 6 m, for simplicity, connect
> the antenna coax to ANT.
> Your IC-703 is equipped with an internal antenna
> tuner (ATU) for operation on 1606 m. This ATU is de-
> signed to work with an unbalanced 50 O feedline. The
> purpose of the internal antenna tuner is to match the
> impedance of your antenna system to as close to a
> 50 O load as possible. This ATU will not operate with
> a long wire or ladder line (450 O or other balanced
> feedlines). An external ATU such as the AH-4 would
> be necessary for this kind of operation.

> RWARNING: Although a mag mount antenna
> works great on a vehicle, DO NOT use the IC-703
> with this type of antenna.
> CAUTION: Although your IC-703 has protection to
> drop down power with a high SWR, this does not
> completely protect the transceiver from transmis-
> sion without an antenna. Make sure you have an
> antenna connected whenever you transmit with
> your radio.
> NOTE: There are many publications covering
> proper antennas and their installation, check with
> your local dealer for more information and recom-
> mendations.

> Antenna SWR
> Each antenna is tuned for a specified frequency
> range and SWR may be increased out-of-range.
> When the SWR is higher than approx. 2.0:1, the
> transceivers power drops to protect the final tran-
> sistors. In this case, an antenna tuner is useful to
> match the transceiver and antenna. Low SWR al-
> lows full power for transmitting even when using the
> antenna tuner. The IC-703 has an SWR meter to
> monitor the antenna SWR continuously.

> level.
> wRotate the [M-CH] control to set the noise reduc-
> tion level.
> ePush [(F-3)NRL] to exit the noise reduction level

> Hint!
> How far you advance the NR control will determine
> how much the noise can be effectively reduced. Ad-
> justing the noise reduction level too high may cause
> some distortion to occur on the received signal. The
> noise reduction level should only be set as high as
> is necessary. Use this setting, along with RF gain,
> NB (noise blanker, if needed), and IF filters as well,
> to minimize the effects of noise on the target signal.

> delivering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping cartons.
>
> For a description and a diagram of accessory equipment included with the IC-703, see Supplied accessories on p. ii of this manual.
>
> Selecting a location
> Select a location for the transceiver that allows adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or
> vibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna elements, radios and other electromagnetic sources.
>
> The base of the transceiver has an adjustable stand
> for desktop use. Set the stand to one of two angles depending on your operating conditions. (see description
> at right page)
>
> Grounding
> To prevent electrical shock, television interference
> (TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems, ground the transceiver through the GROUND
> terminal on the rear panel.
>
> For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap
> to a long earth-sunk copper 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.
> Antenna connection
> For radio communications, the antenna is of critical importance, along with output power and sensitivity. Select antenna(s), such as a well-matched 50
> O antenna,
> and feedline. 1.5:1 or better of Voltage Standing Wave
> Ratio (VSWR) is recommended for your desired band.
> Of course, the transmission line should be a coaxial
> cable.
> CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from lightning
> by using a lightning arrestor.
>
> ANTENNA SWR
> Each antenna is tuned for a specified frequency
> range and SWR may be increased out-of-range.
> When the SWR is higher than approx. 2.0 : 1, the
> transceivers power drops to protect the final transis-
> tors. In this case, an antenna tuner is useful to match
> the transceiver and antenna. Low SWR allows full
> power for transmitting even when using the antenna
> tuner. The IC-703 has an SWR meter to monitor the
> antenna SWR continuously.

> DC Power voltage
> Depending on the applied voltage from the connected
> power supply, a boarder voltage of 11.0 V is set as the
> point where the IC-703 switches between normal op-
> erating mode (over 11.0 V), and battery operating
> mode (under 11.0 V: power save mode).
> However when the connected voltage decreases from
> 13.8 V to 11.0V, the IC-703 switches from normal
> mode to battery mode. Conversely the IC-703
> switches back to normal mode from battery mode
> when the voltage reaches 11.5 V. This 0.5 V voltage
> difference prevents irregular switching between nor-
> mal mode and battery mode, caused by the voltage
> drop which are current capacity, receiving or transmit-
> ting.
> When 11.3 V voltage is applied, the IC-703 may acti-
> vate the battery operating mode depending on the
> current capacity of the power supply.
> DC Power supply connections
> Use a 13.8 V DC power supply with at least 3 A ca-
> pacity. when operating IC-703 with AC power. Refer
> to the diagram below for connection.
> CAUTION:
> Before connecting the DC power cable, check the
> following important items. Make sure:
> ?The [POWER] switch is OFF.
