iiPRECAUTIONSRWARNING! NEVER operate the receiver with aheadset or other audio accessories at high volumelevels. Hearing experts advise against continuous highvolume operation. If you experience a ringing in yourears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.RCAUTION! NEVER change the internal set-tings of the receiver. This may reduce receiver perfor-mance and/or damage to the receiver.The receiver warranty does not cover any problemscaused by unauthorized internal adjustment.RCAUTION! The receiver weighs approx. 20 kg(44 lb). Always have two people available to carry, liftor turn over the receiver. RCAUTION! The line-voltage receptacle must benear the receiver and must be easily accessible. Avoidextension cords.RACHTUNG! Die Steckdose muß nabe beidiesem Gerät angebracht und zugänglich sein.RNEVER let metal, wire or other objects protrudeinto the receiver or into connectors on the rear panel.This may result in an electric shock.RNEVER block any cooling vents on the top, rearor bottom of the receiver.RNEVER expose the receiver to rain, snow or anyliquids.RNEVER install the receiver in a place without ad-equate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be reduced,and the receiver may be damaged.RNEVER operate or touch the receiver with wethands. This may result in an electric shock or damageto the receiver.DO NOTuse chemical agents such as benzine or al-cohol when cleaning the IC-R9500, as they can dam-age the receiver’s surfaces.AVOID using or storing the receiver in areas with tem-peratures below ±0°C (+32°F) or above +50°C(+122°F).AVOID placing the receiver in excessively dusty envi-ronments or in direct sunlight.AVOID placing the receiver against walls or puttinganything on top of the receiver. This may overheat thereceiver.Always place unit in a secure place to avoid inadver-tent use by children.The LCD display may have cosmetic imperfections thatappear as small dark or light spots. This is not a mal-function or defect, but a normal characteristic of LCDdisplays.During maritime mobile operation, keep the receiver asfar away as possible from the magnetic navigationcompass to prevent erroneous indications.Turn [I/O] switch (on the rear panel) OFF and/or dis-connect the AC power cable from the AC outlet whenyou will not use the receiver for a long period of time.For U.S.A. onlyCAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device,not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void yourauthority to operate this device under FCC regulations.ABOUT APCO PROJECT 25This device made under license under one or more ofthe following US patents: #4,590,473, #4,636,791,#5,148,482, #5,185,796, #5,271,017, #5,377,229.The IMBE™ voice coding technology embodied in thisproduct is protected by intellectual property rightsincluding patent rights, copyrights and trade secrets ofDigital Voice Systems, Inc.

Keep the shipping cartons.For a description and a diagram of accessory equip-ment included with the IC-R9500, see ‘Supplied ac-cessories’ on p. iii of this manual.■Selecting a locationSelect a location for the receiver that allows adequateair circulation and access to the front and rear panels.Do not place in areas subject to extreme heat, cold, orvibrations, or near TV sets, radios and other electro-magnetic sources.■GroundingTo prevent electrical shock, television interference(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob-lems, ground the receiver through the GROUND ter-minal on the rear panel.For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strapto a long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance be-tween the [GND] terminal and ground as short as pos-sible.RWARNING: NEVER connect the [GND]terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connec-tion could cause an explosion or electric shock.2INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

2-3■Antenna connectionYour antenna plays a very important role in receiveroperation. If the antenna is poor, your receiver cannotgive you the best performance. The IC-R9500 requires at least 2 antennas (ANT 1/HFANT 3, ANT 2) for full coverage from 100 kHz to 3335MHz. Select an antenna, such as a well matched 50 antenna and feedline. When you wish to use a longwire antenna for short wave bands, use one as long aspossible (at least 10 m, 32.8 ft).CAUTION: Protect your receiver from lightning byusing a lightning arrestor.2INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONSPL-259 CONNECTOR INSTALLATION EXAMPLE30 mm §9⁄8in 10 mm §3⁄8in 1–2 mm §1⁄16 in30 mm10 mm (soft solder)10 mm1–2 mmsolder solderSoftsolderCoupling ringSlide the coupling ring down.

■Selecting VFO modeVFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency Oscilla-tor, and is commonly referred to as a main tuning func-tion. Frequency, mode and other receiver settings arestored as a set of VFO data.The main dial is often called the “VFO knob.”The IC-R9500 stores ten sets of VFO data. You canuse the desired VFO to call up a frequency and oper-ating mode for operation.➥Push [VFO] to select (last selected) VFO mode.• One of “VFO-0” to “VFO-9” appears when in VFO mode.➥Push the desired VFO number (0 to 9) using thekeypad, then push [VFO] to select the desired VFOmode.• One of “VFO-0” to “VFO-9” appears when in VFO mode.■Selecting memory mode➥Push [MEMO] to select memory mode.• The memory indicator appears when in memory mode.• Pushing and holding [M≈V] for 1 sec. transfers the con-tents of the selected memory channel to VFO*.
