iiiNew2001 New2001FCC INFORMATION• FOR CLASS B UNINTENTIONAL RADIATORS:This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-able protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radi-ate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular in-stallation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and re-ceiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit differ-ent from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-cian for help.SUPPLIED ACCESSORIESThe following accessories are supplied with the receiver.q Hand strap ��������������������������������������������������������������������� 1w Antenna �������������������������������������������������������������������������� 1e Belt clip ���������������������������������������������������������������������������1r Battery pack* (BP-244) �������������������������������������������������� 1t Battery charger* (BC-149A/D) ��������������������������������������� 1 (The shape of the BC-149A and BC-149D are different.) *Not supplied with some versions.teqrw

The IC-RX7 receives RF energy from 0.150 MHz* to 1300 MHz and converts it into audio frequency (AF) energy which in turn actuates a loudspeaker to create sound waves. AF en-ergy is in the range of 20 to 20,000 Hz.* kHz is an abbreviation of kilohertz or 1000 hertz, MHz is abbrevia-tion of megahertz or 1,000,000 hertz, where hertz is a unit of fre-quency.OPERATING NOTESThe IC-RX7 may receive its own oscillated frequency, result-ing in no reception or only noise reception, on some fre-quencies.The IC-RX7 may receive interference from extremely strong signals on different frequencies or when using an external high-gain antenna.

Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.D Battery caution• R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the battery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely im-pacted or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface of the battery does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may rupture or catch fire.• R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High tempera-ture buildup in the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery performance or shorten battery life.• R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using.• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate a used battery pack since internal battery gas may cause it to rupture, or may cause an explosion.• R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat gen-eration, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fire.• R DANGER! Use the battery only with the receiver for which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruction manual.• R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.• WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distributor.• WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the battery.Misuse of Lithium-Ion batteries may result in the fol-lowing hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degra-dation of battery performance.
New2001113BATTERY CHARGING3• WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture.• CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specified temperature range for the receiver (–10˚C to +60˚C; +14˚F to +140˚F) and the battery itself (–20˚C to +60˚C; –4˚F to +140˚F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life. Please note that the specified temperature range of the battery may exceed that of the receiver. In such cases, the receiver may not work properly because it is out of its oper-ating temperature range.• CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an ex-cessive temperature environment (above +50˚C; +122˚F) for an extended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharging. You may use the battery until the battery indicator shows half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the below temperature range. –20˚C (–4˚F) to +50˚C (+122˚F) (within a month). –20˚C (–4˚F) to +35˚C (+95˚F) (within three months). –20˚C (–4˚F) to +20˚C (+68˚F) (more than a year).D Charging caution• R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight.
