IC-706MKIIG.qxd 02.3.27 13:53 Page 1 INSTRUCTION MANUAL HF/VHF/UHF ALL MODE TRANSCEIVER i706MKG This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)This device may not cause harmful in-
terference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. IC-706MKIIG.qxd 02.3.27 13:53 Page i IMPORTANT RReeaadd tthhiiss iinnssttrruuccttiioonn mmaannuuaall ccaarreeffuullllyy before attempting to operate the transceiver. SSaavvee tthhiiss iinnssttrruuccttiioonn mmaannuuaall.. This instruction manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the IC-706MKIIG. PRECAUTIONS RWWAARRNNIINNGG HHIIGGHH VVOOLLTTAAGGEE!! NNEEVVEERR attach an antenna or internal antenna connector dur-
ing transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn. During mobile operation, DDOO NNOOTT operate the trans-
ceiver without running the vehicles engine. When transceiver power is ON and your vehicles engine is OFF, the vehicles battery will soon become exhausted. RNNEEVVEERR apply AC to the [DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a re or ruin the transceiver. Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before start-
ing the vehicle. This will avoid possible damage to the transceiver by ignition voltage spikes. RNNEEVVEERR apply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 V battery, to the [DC13.8V] socket on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a re or ruin the transceiv-
er. During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiv-
er and microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indications. RNNEEVVEERR let metal, wire or other objects touch any internal part or connectors on the rear panel of the transceiver. This will cause electric shock. BBEE CCAARREEFFUULL!! The heatsink will become hot when operating the transceiver continuously for long peri-
ods. BBEE CCAARREEFFUULL!! If a linear amplier is connected, set the transceivers RF output power to less than the lin-
ear ampliers maximum input level, otherwise, the lin-
ear amplier will be damaged. Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other manufacturers microphones have different pin assignments and connection to the IC-706MKIIG may damage the transceiver. Beat signals may be heard on some frequencies. These will occur as a result of circuit construction. For U.S.A. only CCaauuttiioonn:: Changes or modications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations. RNNEEVVEERR expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. NNEEVVEERR allow children to play with the transceiver. AAVVOOIIDD using or placing the transceiver in areas with temperatures below 10C (+14F) or above +60C
(+140F). Be aware that temperatures on a vehicles dashboard can exceed 80C, resulting in permanent damage to the transceivers front panel if left there for extended periods. AAVVOOIIDD placing the transceiver in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight. AAVVOOIIDD placing the transceiver against walls or putting anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissipation. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS The explicit denitions described below apply to this instruction manual. WWOORRDD DDEEFFIINNIITTIIOONN RWWAARRNNIINNGG Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur. CCAAUUTTIIOONN Equipment damage may occur. NNOOTTEE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, re or electric shock. i IC-706MKIIG.qxd 02.3.27 13:53 Page ii TABLE OF CONTENTS IMPORTANT i PRECAUTIONS i EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS i TABLE OF CONTENTS ii UNPACKING ii 11 PPAANNEELL DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN 1188 I Front panel 1 I Function switches 3 I Rear and side panels 5 I Function display 7 I Microphone (HM-103) 8 22 IINNSSTTAALLLLAATTIIOONN AANNDD CCOONNNNEECCTTIIOONNSS 991144 I Unpacking 9 I Grounding 9 I Antenna 9 I Installation 10 I Required connections 11 I Advanced connections 12 I Power supply connections 13 I External antenna tuners and linear amplier 14 33 FFRREEQQUUEENNCCYY SSEETTTTIINNGG 11551199 I When rst applying power (CPU resetting) 15 I Initial settings 15 I VFO description 16 I Frequency setting 17 I Mode selection 19 44 RREECCEEIIVVEE AANNDD TTRRAANNSSMMIITT 22003388 I Functions for receive 20 I Functions for transmit 25 I Split frequency operation 29 I Tone squelch operation 31 I Tone scan operation 31 I One-touch repeater 32 I Auto repeater function 32 I Functions for CW 33 I Functions for RTTY 35 I Packet operation 37 I SWR 38 UNPACKING q w yt e r u i 55 MMEEMMOORRYY AANNDD SSCCAANN OOPPEERRAATTIIOONN 33994444 I Memory channels 39 I Memory channel selection 39 I Memory clearing 39 I Memory/call programming 40 I Frequency transferring 41 I Memory names 41 I Memo pads 42 I Scan types 43 I Preparation 43 I Programmed scan operation 44 I Memory scan operation 44 I Select memory scan operation 44 I Priority watch 44 66 RREEMMOOTTEE JJAACCKK ((CCII--VV)) IINNFFOORRMMAATTIIOONN 44554466 77 SSEETT MMOODDEE 44775555 I General 47 I Quick set mode items 48 I Initial set mode items 50 88 MMAAIINNTTEENNAANNCCEE 5566 I Fuse replacement 56 I Memory backup 56 I Cleaning 56 99 TTRROOUUBBLLEESSHHOOOOTTIINNGG 55775588 1100 OOPPTTIIOONNAALL IINNSSTTAALLLLAATTIIOONNSS//SSEETTTTIINNGGSS 55996622 I Opening the transceiver case 59 I UT-102 VOICE SYNTHESIZER UNIT 59 I CR-282 HIGH-STABILITY CRYSTAL UNIT 60 I IF lters 60 I UT-106 DSP RECEIVER UNIT 61 I MB-72 CARRYING HANDLE 61 I AT-180 internal switch description 62 1111 IINNTTEERRNNAALL VVIIEEWWSS 6633 1122 OOPPTTIIOONNSS 66446655 1133 SSPPEECCIIFFIICCAATTIIOONNSS 6666 1144 MMEENNUU GGUUIIDDEE 66776688 AAcccceessssoorriieess iinncclluuddeedd wwiitthh tthhee IICC--770066MMKKIIIIGG::

(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob-
lems, ground the transceiver through the GROUND terminal on the rear panel. For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap to a long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance between the GROUND terminal and ground as short as possible. RWWAARRNNIINNGG:: NNEEVVEERR connect the [GND]
terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connec-
tion could cause an explosion or electric shock.
I AAnntteennnnaa Select antenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 antenna, and feedline. The transmission line should be a coaxial cable. 1.5 : 1 or better of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is recommended for your required band. Of course, the transmission line should be a coaxial cable. CCAAUUTTIIOONN:: Protect your transceiver from light-
ning using a lightning arrestor. AANNTTEENNNNAA SSWWRR Each antenna is tuned for a specied frequency range and SWR may be increased out-of-range. When the SWR is higher than approx. 2.0 : 1, the transceivers power drops to protect the nal transis-
tors. In this case, an optional antenna tuner is useful to match the transceiver and antenna. Low SWR allows full power for transmitting even when using the antenna tuner. The IC-706MKIIG has an SWR meter to monitor the antenna SWR continuously. PL-259 CONNECTOR INSTALLATION EXAMPLE 30 mm Coupling ring 10 mm (soft solder) Slide the coupling ring down.

The IC-706MKIIGs VFO can store a frequency and an operating mode. You can call up a desired frequency to a VFO with the memo pad-read switch (p. 42) or with the memory transfer switch (p. 42). You can also change the fre-
quency with the main dial and select an operating mode with the [MODE] switch or call up previously accessed frequency and modes with the band stack-
ing register (p. 19). The IC-706MKIIG has two VFOs, specially suited for split frequency operation. The VFOs are called VFO A and VFO B. You can use the desired VFO to call up a frequency and operating mode for operation.

Shallow rotation moves the S-meter to the right indicating the signal strength which can be received. The SQUELCH removes noise output from the speaker (closed condition) when no signal is received. The squelch is particularly effective for FM. It is also available for the other modes. When operating in FM, rst rotate the control fully coun-
terclockwise. Then, rotate the control clockwise to the point where the noise just disappears. This is the best position. The squelch does not open for weak signals when it is set too deep.

ly starts tuning when the VSWR is higher than 3:1. This setting is called through inhibit, however, the tuner is set to through if the VSWR is higher than 3:1 after tuning. TUNER SENSITIVE CONDITION The tuner tunes each time you transmit
(except SSB mode). Therefore, the lowest SWR is obtained at any given time. For SSB mode, the same condition as the D position. NORMAL CONDITION The tuner tunes when the SWR is higher than 1.5:1.

mended that the forwards clearance in front of the an-
tenna array is calculated relative to the EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power). The clearance height below the antenna array can be determined in most cases from the RF power at the antenna input terminals. Forward clearance, EIRP by frequency band Watts 100 1000 10,000 100,000 102 m 2 m 6.5 m 20 m 65 m 70 cm 2 m 6 m 18 m 60 m 23 cm 13cm and above 1.1 m 3.5 m 11 m 35 m 0.7 m 3 m 7 m 29 m As different exposure limits have been recommended for different frequencies, a relative table shows a guideline for installation considerations. Below 30 MHz, the recommended limits are specied in terms of V/m or A/m elds as they are likely to fall within the near-field region. Similarly, the antennae may be physically short in terms of electrical length and that the installation will require some antenna matching device which can create local, high intensity magnetic fields. Analysis of such MF installations is best considered in association with published guidance notes such as the FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 and its annexes relative to amateur transmitter instal-
lations. The EC recommended limits are almost identi-
cal to the FCC specied uncontrolled limits and tables exist that show pre-calculated safe distances for differ-
ent antenna types for different frequency bands. Fur-
ther information can be found at http://www.arrl.org/. Typical amateur radio installation Exposure distance assumes that the predominant ra-
diation pattern is forwards and that radiation vertically downwards is at unity gain (sidelobe suppression is equal to main lobe gain). This is true of almost every gain antenna today. Exposed persons are assumed to be beneath the antenna array and have a typical height to 1.8 m. The gures assume the worst case emission of con-
stant carrier. For the bands 10 MHz and higher the following power density limits have been recommended:
10 400 MHz 435 MHz 2 W/sq m 2.2 W/sq m EIRP Clearance heights by frequency band Watts 1 10 25 100 1000 102 m 2.1 m 2.8 m 3.4 m 5 m 12 m 70 cm 2 m 2.7 m 3.3 m 4.7 m 11.5 m 23 cm 13cm and above 2 m 2.5 m 2.7 m 3.6 m 7.3 m 2 m 2.3 m 2.5 m 3.2 m 6.3 m In all cases any possible risk depends on the transmit-
ter being activated for long periods. (actual recom-
mendation limits are specied as an average during 6 minutes) Normally the transmitter is not active for long periods of time. Some radio licenses will require that a timer circuit automatically cuts the transmitter after 12 minutes etc. Similarly some types of transmitter, SSB, CW, AM etc. have a lower average output power and the assessed risk is even lower. Versions of the IC-706MKIIG which display the CE symbol on the serial number seal, comply with the essential requirements of the European Radio and Telecommunication Terminal Direc-
tive 1999/5/EC. This warning symbol indicates that this equip-
ment operates in non-harmonised frequency bands and/or may be subject to licensing con-
ditions in the country of use. Be sure to check that you have the correct version of this radio or the correct programming of this radio, to com-
ply with national licensing requirement. IC-706MKIIG
