R WARNING HIGH RF VOLTAGE! NEVER
attach an antenna or internal antenna connector
during transmission. This may result in an electrical
shock or burn.

headset or other audio accessories at high volume
levels. The continuous high volume operation may
cause a ringing in your ears. If you experience the
ringing, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.
R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the radio
with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or
damage to the radio.

to the [DC13.8V] connector on the radio rear panel.
This could cause a fire or damage the radio .
CAUTION: NEVER change the internal settings
of the radio . This may reduce radio performance and/
or damage to the radio .

caused by unauthorized internal adjustment.
CAUTION: NEVER block any cooling vents on
the top, rear or bottom of the radio .

alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the
radio ’s surfaces.
DO NOT push the PTT switch when you don’t
actually desire to transmit.

anything on top of the radio . This may overheat the
radio .
Always place unit in a secure place to avoid
inadvertent use by children.
BE CAREFUL! If you use a linear amplifier, set
the
radio ’s RF output power to less than the linear
amplifier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear
amplifier will be damaged.
BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when
operating the
radio continuously for long periods of
time.
Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional).
Other manufacturers’ microphones have different pin
assignments, and connection to the IC-7600 may
damage the
radio or microphone.
The LCD display may have cosmetic imperfections
that appear as small dark or light spots. This is not a
malfunction or defect, but a normal characteristic of
LCD displays.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the
radio
and microphone as far away as possible from the
magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous
indications.
