I Battery connection I DC power supply connection
Use a 13.8 V DC power supply with more than 12 A capabil-ity. An optional IC-PS30 DC POWER SUPPLY is available forusing the transceiver with a DC power supply in your home.
Make sure the ground terminal of the DC power supply isgrounded.
NEVER connect the transceiver directly to a 24 V battery.DO NOT use the cigarette lighter socket for power con-nections.Attach a rubber grommet when passing the DC powercable through a metal plate to prevent short circuits.

CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna may dam-age the transceiver.
NOTE: To prevent interference, listen on the frequency be-fore transmitting by pushing [MONI] or [ MONI] on the mi-crophone.
Push [BAND] one or more times to select the operatingband.
Set the operating frequency. (pgs. 15 19) Select output power if desired. See section at right for details.
Push and hold [PTT] to transmit. $ appears. The S/RF indicator shows the output power selection. The operating frequency, etc. are automatically programmed into
a scratch pad memory. See p. 36 for details. One-touch PTT function is available. See p. 23 for details.
Speak into the microphone using your normal voice level. DO NOT hold the microphone too close to your mouth or speak
too loudly. This may distort the signal. Release [PTT] to return to receive.
I Selecting the output power
The transceiver has 4 output power levels to suit your oper-ating requirements. Low output powers during short-distancecommunications may reduce the possibility of interference toother stations and will reduce current consumption.
Push [BAND] one or more times to select the operatingband.
Push [LOW] one or more times to select the desired out-put power. The output power can be changed while transmitting.

During VFO operation, the transceiver automatically memo-rizes operating frequency information, separate from regularmemory channels, when transmitting on a new frequency.The 5 previously operated frequencies for each band can berecalled (L1 to L5 appear for simplex frequencies; r1 to r5 ap-pear for duplex frequencies.
NOTE: When memory mode is selected, the frequency isnot programmed into a scratch pad.
I Calling up a scratch padmemory
Select the call channel by pushing [M/CALL] once or twice.(A large C appears.) To transmit on the scratch pad memory, select the desired band
in advance. Rotate the tuning dial to select a scratch pad memory.
Previously transmitted frequency and one of L1L5 appears forsimplex memories (rotate [DIAL] left); one of r1r2 appears forduplex memories (rotate [DIAL] right).
When rst applying power or after CPU resetting, scratch padmemories contain no data and therefore cannot be accessed.
Push [V/MHz] or [M/CALL] to exit the scratch pad memory.
The 5th scratch pad memory will be cleared when trans-mitting on a new frequency. If the transmit frequency isalready stored in a scratch pad memory, the scratch padmemory is not cleared but the order is changed.
When transmitting on a scratch pad memory, the scratch
pad memory becomes the 1st scratch pad memory andthe order is changed.

I EX-1759 installationThe EX-1759 INFRARED RECEIVER can be installed for 2 differ-ent purposes depending on the HM-90 charger. This is be-cause the EX-1759 has both an infrared receiver and amicrophone connector which contains microphone chargingcapabilities.
When using the connector for a microphone chargerAttach the EX-1759 to a suitable location for receiving in-frared signals and where it can be connected to a cable, e.g.the console, etc.
NOTE: DO NOT attach the EX-1759 where it will be sub- ject to direct sunlight as it cannot detect infrared signalsunder such conditions.
Optional infrared sub receiverAn optional EX-1513 INFRARED SUB RECEIVER is available toincrease the remote control reliability and extend the control-lable area. Connect the EX-1513 to the inside connector of
the EX-1759.
NOTE: The supplied microphone, HM-98, can be con-nected and used with the EX-1759, however, the optionalwireless microphone cannot be used in such a case.
(When using the micconnector for miccharging.)

D Adjusting the transmit signal output fromthe TNC
When setting data transmission speed to 9600 bps, the DATAsignal coming from the TNC is applied exclusively to the in-ternal limiter circuitry to automatically maintain band width.
NEVER apply data levels from the TNC of over 0.6 Vp-p, oth-erwise the transceiver will not be able to maintain the bandwidth and may possibly interfere with other stations.
1. When using a level meter or synchroscope, adjust the TXaudio output level ( DATA IN level) from the TNC as follows.0.4 Vp-p (0.2 Vrms): recommended level0.2 Vp-p 0.5 Vp-p (0.1 Vrms 0.25 Vrms): acceptable level
2. When NOT using a measuring device.q Connect the IC-207H to a TNC.w Enter a test mode ( CAL, etc.) on the TNC, then transmit
some test data.e When the transceiver fails to transmit the test data or
transmits sporadically (TX indicator doesnt appear or
ashes): Decrease the TNC output level until the transmit indicatorlights continuously.When transmission is not successful even though the TX indicator lights continuously: Increase the TNC output level.
