IMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com-
pletely before using the receiver,
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL—This
instruction manual contains important operating instructions
(or Ihe IC-PCR100 COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER FOR
COMPUTER,
USE antenna(s). such as a weIHnatched 50 Q antenna and
teedllne. For radio communications. the antenna is of critical
importance along with sensitivity.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- lBM PC/AT compatible computer
~An RS-23EC serial port (38400 bps or taster)
- Microsott‘E WindowsQ 95 or Microsoft8 Windows” 98
- lntel Pentiumm 100 MHz processor or laster
-At least 32 MB RAM
-At least 20 MB of hard disk space
-At least 800 X 600 pixel display
OPERATING THEORY
Electromagnetic radiation which has frequencies of 20,000
Hz (20 kHz') and above is called radio trequency (RF) energy
because it is useful in radio transmissions. The ICvPCFttoo
receives RF energy from 05 MHZ‘ to 1301] MHz and converts
it into audio lrequency (AF) energy which in turn actuates a
loudspeaker to create sound waves AF energy is in the range
of 20 I0 20,000 Hz,
'kHz is an abbreviation OI kilohertz or 1000 hertz. MHZ is abbrevia-
Ian OI megahertz or 1,000‘000 hertz, where he'll is a UN“ OI Ire-
quency.
OPERATING NOTES
The lC-PCH100 may receive its own oscillated frequency, re-
sulting in no reception or only noise reception. on some fre-
quencies,
The IC-PCR100 may receive interference from extremely
strong signals on different lrequencies or when using an ex4
ternal high—gain antenna.
Der seal, comply with me essentlal requirements or the
c E Versions at me lc-Pcnioo which display ‘CE“ on Ihe serial num-
se/sas/EEC directive to! Electromagnetic Competibtlliy
CAUTIONS
AWARNlNG! NEVER connect the receiver to an Ac
outlet. This may pose a tire hazard or result in an electric
shock
NEVER connect other than the specified AC adapter to the
receiver. This connection wtll ruin the receiver.
NEVER connect the receiver to a power source 01 more
than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection will ruin
the receiver.
NEVER expose the receiver to rain. snow or any liquids.
DO NOT use or place the receiver in areas with tempera-
tures below 0°C (+32°F) or above +50°C (+122°F) or, in areas
subiect to direct sunlight,
AVO|D placing the receiver in excessively dusty environ~
merits.
AVOlD the use at chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning. as they damage the receiver surfaces.
Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children.

class 5 digital device users
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
lor Class 5 digital devices, pursuant In Part 15 ol the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmiui interlerence in a resldential tnstaiiatiori. This equipment gen-
erates. uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and. it not In-
stalled and used in accordance With the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However. there
is no guarantee that interierence will not occur In a particular installs»
tiori I! this equipment does Cause harmiul interierence to radio or
television reception. which can be determined by turning the equip—
ment oil and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interter~
ence by one or more at the toitowing measures:
- Reonent or relocate the receiving antenna.
- increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dmsrent troni that
to which the receiver is connected,
, Consult ttie dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for tieip.
For Canada only
Operation is subject to the following two ccnditlohs: (0 this device
may not cause interterence, and (2) this device must accept any in-
ierterence, including lnteflerence that may cause undesired opera-
llon oi the device.

1 INSTALLATION
I Antenna installation
Antennas play a very important role in receiver operation.
Connecting a poor quality antenna to the lC-PCHtOO will re
suit in less than optimum pedormance.
Select antenna(s). such as a well-matched 50 fl antenna and
teedline, 1.5:1 oi Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWFt) is ree
ommended tor a desired band. Of course, the antenna line
should be a coaxial cable,
% CAUTION: Protect your receiver from lightning by
é using a lightning arrestor,
NOTE: The supplied antenna is a simple plain antenna which
may not obtain indicated specifications To obtam maximum
performance from the iC-PCRtOO. you must purchase an ex-
ternal wide band antenna such as an optional icom AH-7000
(25—1300 MHZ). etc.
Contact your nearest loom Dealer or Service Center lor re-
garding optimum antenna locations.
The antenna connector type is BNC, so an adapter may be
necessary to connect an optionai antenna.
I Grounding
' A WARNlNG: NEVER use a gas pipe or electrical
4 conduit pipe (or grounding.
\\\Ԥ
To prevent accidents involvmg electricity and interference
lrom computers. ground the receiver through the GROUND
terminal on the rear panel,
For best results. connect a heavy gauge cable to a water pipe
or long, earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance between
the [GND] terminal and ground as short as possible.
I AF output level selection
The received audio can be input into your computer via the
sound card.
Belore inputting the received audio into the [LINE lN] con-
nector (connector name depends on your sound card), the
output level at the [EXT-SP] must be set properly, Perform as
follows:
'/ CAUTION: Setting ‘STEREO' and connecting a 2-con-
f ductor plug causes a short-circuit. This may damage the
4 audio power ampliller.
