WARNING
NEVER
connect to a battery
without supplying a DC fuse, otherwise a fire
hazard occurs.
•
NEVER
connect the transceiver to a 24 V
battery.
The transceiver may not receive well on some
frequencies when installed in a hybrid vehicle, or
any type of electric vehicle (fuel cell vehicle). This
is because vehicle’s electric components such as
the inverter system generate a lot of electric
noise.
•
DO NOT
use a cigarette lighter socket as a power
source when operating in a vehicle. The plug may
cause voltage drops and ignition noise may be
superimposed onto transmit or receive audio.
•
Use a rubber grommet when passing the DC
power cable through a metal plate to prevent a
short circuit.
The IC-7200 is not certified for vehicle installation
in European countries.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Use a DC power supply with a 22 A capacity when
operating the transceiver with AC power. Refer to the
diagrams below.
CAUTION:
Before connecting the DC power
cable, check the following important items. Make
sure:
• The
switch is OFF.
• Output voltage of the power source is 12–15 V.
• DC power cable polarity is correct.

BE CAREFUL
when disconnecting
the DC power cable because the
connector is tightly locked. Use a small
tool, such as a flat-bladed screwdriver,
to disengage the locking tab.

CAUTION!
The rear panel
will become hot when operat-
ing the transceiver continu-
ously for long periods.
