technician for help. PRECAUTIONS R DANGER 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 dont actu-
ally desire to transmit. DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with temperatures below 0C (+32F) or above +50C
(+122F). 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.
If you use a linear amplifier, set the transceivers RF output power to less than the linear amplifiers maximum input level, otherwise, the linear amplifier will be damaged.
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 transceivers power and/or disconnect the DC power cable when you will not use the trans-
ceiver for long period of time. For U.S.A. only CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this device under FCC regula-
tions. Icom, Icom Inc. and the Icom logo are registered trademarks of Icom Incorporated (Japan) in Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Russia and/or other countries.

10 GHz Zone Repeater A Area 440 MHz Station A Repeater B 440 MHz Station B Internet Internet 10 GHz Zone Repeater D 440 MHz Station D Repeater C 440 MHz Station C D-STAR INTRODUCTION 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:
then basically leave it set, with only a few ex-
ceptions.

tual ham or repeater you wish to contact. CQC-
QCQ can also be used to make a general call.
one you enter to begin your D-STAR repeater communication.
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 hams or repeaters 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. iii D Area 1 Area 2 Area 3

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. Link repeater:
The microwave (10 GHz) link repeater provides linking with another repeater site (Area) for zone construction. 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. Gateway repeater:
Gateway repeaters provide communications between different zones via the internet. Repeater 3 and 6 are gateway repeaters at example above. the iv TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD ..............................................................

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.
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. R WARNING! NEVER connect the [GND] ter-
minal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could cause an explosion or electric shock.

For radio communications, the antenna is of critical importance, along with output power and receiver sen-
sitivity. Select a well-matched 50 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.
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 nal 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.
