PRECAUTIONS
RDANGER HIGH RF VOLTAGE! NEVER
attach an antenna or internal antenna connector
during transmission. This may result in an electrical
shock or burn.
R WARNING! NEVER
operate the transceiver
with a headset or other audio accessories at high
volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continu-
ous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing
in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.
R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the
transceiver with wet hands. This may result in an
electric shock or damage to the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER apply AC power to the
[DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver rear panel. This
could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable
between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect
connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may
be damaged.
R WARNING! NEVER apply more than 16 V
DC to the [DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver rear
panel, or use reverse polarity. This could cause a fire
or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING!
NEVER
let metal, wire or other
objects protrude into the transceiver or into connectors
on the rear panel. This may result in an electric shock.
R WARNING! Immediately turn OFF the trans-
ceiver power and remove the power cable if it emits
an abnormal odor, sound or smoke. Contact your
Icom dealer or distributor for advice.
R WARNING! NEVER put the transceiver in
any unstable place (such as on a slanted surface or
vibrated place). This may cause injury and/or damage
to the transceiver.
CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings of
the transceiver. This may reduce transceiver perfor-
mance and/or damage to the transceiver.
In particular, incorrect settings for transmitter circuits,
such as output power, idling current, etc., might
damage the expensive final devices.
The transceiver warranty does not cover any prob-
lems caused by unauthorized internal adjustment.
CAUTION: NEVER block any cooling vents on
the top, rear, sides or bottom of the transceiver.
CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to
rain, snow or any liquids.
CAUTION:
NEVER
install the transceiver in a
place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation
may be reduced, and the transceiver may be damaged.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or
alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the trans-
ceiver surfaces.
DO NOT push the PTT switch when you don’t actu-
ally desire to transmit.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with
temperatures below ±0°C (+32°F) or above +50°C
(+122°F).
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty
environments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or
putting anything on top of the transceiver. This may
overheat the transceiver.
Always place unit in a secure place to avoid inadver-
tent use by children.
"% #!2%&5, If you use a linear amplifier, set
the transceiver’s RF output power to less than the
linear amplifier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the
linear amplifier will be damaged.
"% #!2%&5, The transceiver will become hot
when operating the transceiver continuously for long
periods of time.
USE only the specified microphone. Other manufac-
turers’ microphones have different pin assignments,
and connection to the IC-9100 may damage the
transceiver or microphone.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the trans-
ceiver and microphone as far away as possible from
the magnetic navigation compass to prevent errone-
ous indications.
Turn OFF the transceiver’s power and/or disconnect
the DC power cable when you will not use the trans-
ceiver for long period of time.

D About the D-STAR system
In the original D-STAR (Digital Smart Technologies for
Amateur Radio) plan, JARL envisioned a system of
repeaters grouped together into Zones. A zone would
be a group of up to 4 repeaters, linked by 10 GHz
“backbone” microwave Link repeaters. Each individual
repeater would be call an Area repeater, and would
be the Access repeater to begin communications.
Calls could be made to other Area repeaters within
the Zone, using the backbone Link repeater system.
One of the repeaters in the Zone would have an In-
ternet connection, and so in addition to being an Area
repeater, it also became the Zone Gateway repeater.
The Internet gateway provided a way to communicate
to other Zones, giving access to the Area repeaters
within them, and eventually to the entire world.
Call signs are the heart of D-STAR operation. Four call
signs are used:
s-9 4HISISYOUROWNCALLSIGN9OUENTERITONCEAND
then basically leave it set, with only a few ex-
ceptions.
s52 4HISISYOUR$ESTINATIONCALLSIGNTHATOFTHEAC-
tual ham or repeater you wish to contact. CQC-
QCQ can also be used to make a general call.
s2 4HISISTHE!REA!CCESSREPEATERCALLSIGNTHE
one you enter to begin your D-STAR repeater
communication.
s2 4HIS IS THE ,INK'ATEWAY REPEATER CALL SIGN
the repeater and Internet connection you go
through when you want contact a ham, or an-
other repeater, anywhere else in the world.
Call sign routing, one of the main features of D-STAR,
allows hams to contact other hams, or other repeat-
ers using just the ham’s or repeater’s call sign. The
D-STAR system will automatically route your signal to
the desired ham or repeater. Call sign capture allows
hams using an Icom radio to “capture” a call sign and
automatically program their radio for a reply.
Like other communication modes, you can operate
simplex D-STAR with other hams, for direct commu-
nication.
See pages 85 to 120 for the D-STAR operation de-
tails.
NOTE: The optional UT-121 is required for the D-
STAR operation with the IC-9100.

Area:
The Area is the communication range
that is covered by a single repeater.
The repeater is called an area, or
access repeater in the D-STAR system.
Zone:
The Zone is composed of several areas, that are linked
by a 10 GHz microwave link.
Areas 1 to 4 and 5 to 8 make up a zone in the example
above.
Link repeater:
The microwave (10 GHz) link repeater
provides linking with another repeater
site (Area) for zone construction.
Gateway repeater:
Gateway repeaters provide communications between
different zones via the internet.
Repeater 3 and 6 are gateway repeaters at the
example above.

the transceiver’s malfunction or damage. To prevent this, we recommend adding a switching diode, such as an
“1SS133,” on the load side of the circuit to the counter-electromotive force absorption.
When the diode is added, a switching delay of the relay may occur. Be sure to check its switching action before
operation.

N3ELECTINGALOCATION
Select a location for the transceiver that allows ade-
quate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or
vibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna ele-
ments, radios and other electromagnetic sources.
The base of the transceiver has adjustable feet for
desktop use. Set the feet to one of two angles, to meet
your operating preference.
N'ROUNDING
To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob-
lems, ground the transceiver using the GROUND ter-
minal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heaviest gauge wire or
strap to a long ground rod. Make the distance between
the [GND] terminal and ground as short as possible.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the [GND] ter-
minal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection
could cause an explosion or electric shock.

N!NTENNACONNECTION
For radio communications, the antenna is of critical
importance, along with output power and receiver sen-
sitivity. Select a well-matched 50 ø antenna and co-
axial cable feedline. We recommend 1.5:1 or better of
Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) on your operat-
ing bands. The transmission line should be a coaxial
cable.
When using a single antenna (for the HF/50 MHz
band), use the [ANT1] connector.
CAUTION: Protect your transceiver from lightning
by using a lightning arrestor.
!NTENNA372
Each antenna is tuned for a specified frequency
range and the SWR usually increases outside the
range. When the SWR is higher than approximately
2.0:1, the transceiver automatically reduces the TX
power to protect the final transistors. In that case, an
antenna tuner is useful to match the transceiver and
antenna. Low SWR allows full power for transmit-
ting. The IC-9100 has an SWR meter to continuously
monitor the antenna SWR.

For your information
When you are receiving a weak signal, and a strong
signal is momentarily received, the AGC function
quickly reduces the receiver gain. When that sig-
nal disappears, the transceiver may not receive
the weak signal because of the AGC action. In that
case, hold down [AGC](F-1) for 1 second, and ro-
tate [MAIN DIAL] to set the time constant to OFF.

When you hold down [SPLIT] for 1 second, the Split
frequency operation is turned ON. The undisplayed
VFO is automatically changed according to the plus/
minus frequency shift programmed in the Set mode. Or
the VFOs are equalized when 0 kHz (default setting) is
programmed as the split frequency shift. (p. 162)
The Quick Split function is ON by default. For your
convenience, it can be turned OFF in the Set mode.
(p. 162) In this case, holding down [SPLIT] does not
equalize the VFO A and VFO B frequencies.

For your information
The IC-9100 has a call sign edit record function.
When you edit a call sign that is stored in a call sign
memory, the edited call sign is automatically pro-
grammed into a blank channel.
If all call sign memories are already programmed, the
edited call sign will overwrite the selected channel’s
call sign.
The programmed call sign can be over-written anytime,
when the “Edit Record” item is set to OFF or Select, in
the DV Set mode. (p. 119)
However, the call sign that is stored in a regular mem-
ory or call channel must be manually overwritten.
(Temporary operation is possible).
