CAUTION NOTE TRADEMARKS Icom, Icom Inc. and the logo are registered trademarks of Icom Incorporated (Japan) in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Russia and/or other countries. i PRECAUTIONS R WARNING! NEVER operate the receiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use. R CAUTION! 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 problems caused by unauthorized internal adjustment. R CAUTION! The receiver weighs approx. 20 kg

(44 lb). Always have two people available to carry, lift or turn over the receiver. R CAUTION! The line-voltage receptacle must be near the receiver and must be easily accessible. Avoid extension cords. R ACHTUNG! Die Steckdose mu nabe bei diesem Gert angebracht und zugnglich sein. R NEVER let metal, wire or other objects protrude into the receiver or into connectors on the rear panel. This may result in an electric shock. R NEVER block any cooling vents on the top, rear or bottom of the receiver. R NEVER expose the receiver to rain, snow or any liquids. R NEVER install the receiver in a place without ad-

equate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be reduced, and the receiver may be damaged. R NEVER operate or touch the receiver with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage to the receiver. DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine or al-

cohol when cleaning the IC-R9500, as they can dam-

age the receivers surfaces. AVOID using or storing the receiver in areas with tem-

peratures below 0C (+32F) or above +50C

(+122F). AVOID placing the receiver in excessively dusty envi-

ronments or in direct sunlight. AVOID placing the receiver against walls or putting anything on top of the receiver. This may overheat the receiver. The LCD display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small dark or light spots. This is not a mal-

function or defect, but a normal characteristic of LCD displays. During maritime mobile operation, keep the receiver as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation compass 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 when you will not use the receiver for a long period of time.

ment included with the IC-R9500, see Supplied ac-

cessories on p. iii of this manual. Select a location for the receiver that allows adequate air circulation and access to the front and rear panels. Do not place in areas subject to extreme heat, cold, or vibrations, or near TV sets, radios and other electro-

magnetic sources. To 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 strap to a long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance be-

tween the [GND] terminal and ground as short as pos-

sible. R WARNING: NEVER connect the [GND]

BASIC OPERATIONS 3 VFO 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 are stored 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 can use 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 the keypad, then push [VFO] to select the desired VFO mode. One of VFO-0 to VFO-9 appears when in VFO mode. Push [MEMO] to select memory mode. The memory indicator appears when in memory mode. Pushing and holding [MV] for 1 sec. transfers the con-

tents of the selected memory channel to VFO*. (p. 7-5)

amp for 24 MHz band and above About the P.AMP2 The P.AMP 2 is a high gain receive amplifier. When the P.AMP 2 is used when strong signal are present, distortion sometimes results. If this occurs, use the re-

ceiver with the P.AMP 1 or P.AMP OFF setting. The P.AMP 2 is most effective when:

Used on bands above 24 MHz and when signals are weak. Receive sensitivity is insufficient during low gain, or while using a narrow band antenna (such as small loop, a Beverage antenna or a short Yagi antenna). The attenuator prevents a desired signal from being distorted by a very strong signals are near the desired frequency or when very strong electric fields, such as from broadcasting stations, are near your location.

Squelch condition SCAN STARTS WITH SQUELCH OPEN SQUELCH CLOSED PROGRAMMED SCAN MEMORY SCAN The scan continues until it is stopped manually, and does not pause even if it detects signals. Scan stops when a signal is detected. Scan pauses on each channel when the scan resume is ON; not applicable when OFF. If you set SCAN RESUME to DELAY, the scan pauses according to [DELAY] control when detecting a signal, then resumes. When a signal disappears while scan is paused, scan resumes 220 sec. later. This function is useful when you dont want unmodu-

lated signals pausing or cancelling a scan. When the voice squelch control function is activated, the receiver checks received signals for voice components. If a receiver signal includes voice components, and the tone of the voice components changes within 1 sec., scan pauses (or stops). If the received signal includes no voice components or the tone of the voice compo-

nents does not change within 1 sec., scan resumes. While a phone mode (FM, WFM, SSB, AM) is se-

lected, push [VSC] to switch the VSC (Voice Squelch Control) function ON and OFF. VSC appears when the function is activated. The VSC function activates for any scan. The VSC function resumes the scan on unmodu-

Push and hold [1/4] for 1 sec. to turn the dial click function ON and OFF manually. CLICK appears. The IC-R9500 has 3 antenna connectors for bands below 30 MHz which are [HF ANT1], [HF ANT2] and

[ANT1/HF ANT3]. And antenna control voltage is also output from [ANT SEL] connector for using external preamplifier or antenna selector. For each operating band the IC-R9500 covers, there is a band memory which can memorize a selected an-

tenna. When you change the operating frequency be-

yond a band, the previously used antenna is automat-

ically selected (see left) for the new band. This function allows automatic switching of 3 separate antennas for HF bands operation. After an antenna has been selected for use (by push-

ing [ANT]), the antenna is automatically selected whenever that band is used.

[EXAMPLE]: a 3.5/7 MHz antenna is connected to

[HF ANT1], a 14/18 MHz antenna is connected to [HF ANT2], a 24/28 MHz antenna is connected to [HF ANT3]. After each antenna is selected, an antenna is automatically selected when changing bands. Push [ANT] to select the antenna from ANT HF 1, ANT HF 2 and ANT HF 3. The antenna indicator turns ON when other than default antenna (ANT1) is selected.

An Ethernet card/board (10 BASE-T/100 BASE TX compatible) is required when updating the firmware from the PC. The USB hub and Ethernet card/board are not sup-

plied by Icom. Ask your PC dealer about a USB hub and an Ethernet card/board for details. Caution The IC-R9500s firmware can be updated if desired. By updating the firmware, new function(s) can be added and performance parameters improved. 2 methods of firmware update are available; one uses the USB-Memory, and the other uses a PC. You can choose either method according to your PC capabilities. When only one PC that is connected to the INTER-

NET is available Refer to Preparation (p. 15-3) and Firmware updateUSB-Memory (p. 15-4) When two or more PCs that are connected to the IN-

TERNET are available and they are connected to a LAN (Local Area Network) Refer to Preparation (p. 15-3) and either

(p. 15-6) or Firmware update PC Firmware updateUSB-Memory (p. 15-4) Ask your dealer or distributor about how to update the firmware if you have no PC. R CAUTION!: NEVER turn the receiver power OFF while updating the firmware. You can turn the receiver power OFF only when the re-

ceiver display shows that rebooting is required. If you turn the receiver power OFF, or if a power failure occurs during updating, the receiver firmware will be corrupted and you will have to send the receiver back to the nearest Icom distributor for repair. This type of repair is out of warranty even if the warranty period is still valid. Recommendation!

Backing up the settings and/or memory contents to the CF card or USB-Memory before starting the firmware update is recommended. Settings and/or memory contents will be lost or re-

turned to default settings when the firmware update is performed. 15-2 Preparation D Firmware and firm utility D File downloading Read carefully Click UPDATING THE FIRMWARE 15 The latest firmware and the firm utility can be down-
