AFJIC-703HF / VHF Amateur Transceiver

HF/50 MHz ALL MODE TRANSCEIVER i703 INSTRUCTION MANUAL i FOREWORD Thank We understand that you have a choice of many different radios in the market place. We want to take a couple of moments of your time to thank you for mak- ing the IC-703 your radio of choice, and hope you agree with Icom’s philosophy of “technology first.” Many hours of research and development went into the design of your IC-703. FEATURES ❍DSP features (AF DSP; UT-106 DSP UNITrequired some version) ❍All mode capability covering 160–6 m ❍9.0–15.87 V operation ❍Compact with detachable front panel ❍±0.5 ppm of high frequency stability ❍Built in antenna tuner ❍Simple band scope function IMPORTANT READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY before attempting to operate the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL.This manual contains important safety and operating in- structions for the IC-703. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS RWARNING RF EXPOSURE!This device emits Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be observed when operating this device. If you have any questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology’s report on Evalu- ating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65). RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVERattach an antenna or internal antenna connector during transmis- sion. This may result in an electrical shock or burn. RNEVERapply AC to the [DC13.8V] receptacle on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver. RNEVERapply more than 16 V DC, such as a 24 V battery, to the [DC13.8V] receptacle on the transceiver rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the trans- ceiver. RNEVERlet metal, wire or other objects touch any in- ternal part or connectors on the rear panel of the trans- ceiver. This may result in an electric shock. NEVERexpose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids. AVOIDusing or placing the transceiver in areas with tem- peratures below –10°C (+14°F) or above +60°C (+140°F). Be aware that temperatures on a vehicle’s dashboard can exceed 80°C (+176°F), resulting in permanent damage to the transceiver if left there for extended periods. AVOIDplacing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi- ronments or in direct sunlight. AVOIDplacing the transceiver against walls or putting anything on top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissipation. Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children. During mobile operation, DO NOToperate the transceiver without running the vehicle’s engine. When the trans- ceiver’s power is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s battery will soon become exhausted. Make sure the transceiver power is OFF before starting the vehicle. This will avoid possible damage to the trans- ceiver by ignition voltage spikes. During maritime mobile operation, keep the transceiver and microphone as far away as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indications. BE CAREFUL! The rear panel will become hot when op- erating the transceiver continuously for long periods. BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplifier is connected, set the transceiver’s RF output power to less than the linear am- plifier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear ampli- fier will be damaged. Use Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assign- ments, and connection to the IC-703 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 Caution:Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations. PRECAUTION WORDDEFINITION R WARNING Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur. CAUTIONEquipment damage may occur. NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk or personal injury, fire or electric shock. ii SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES The transceiver comes with the following accessories.

The preliminary test was carried out to investigate the frequency of the emission that has the highest amplitude relative to the limits within normal operating modes, cable positions, and a typical system configuration. In order to find out to the maximum emission, the preliminary test and a final test were performed in accordance with the following steps. Step 1: One operation mode of the test system was setting. Step 2: Using a test receiver and a test antenna probe, the significant frequency of the emission's circumstance from the test system were investigated. These data were recorded every one of 22 divided bands in the specified frequency band (30 MHz - 1000 MHz). Step 3: Using a test receiver and a linearly polarized broadband antenna, the emission's circumstance from the test system was measured in according with ANSI C63.4-1992 Sec.8.3.1.2 (Final Radiated Emissions Tests) at each frequency which was found the higher emission referred to level vs. frequency on the list and which was measured by the resonant tuned dipole antenna. The maximum emission was found by changing the cable positions or cable manipulation under a typical system configuration. Step 4: Return to step 1, if the other operation mode was possible to be setting. Step 5: The worst result was reported arranging data of which was obtained and performed by one or plural operation modes as the final test. At the worst point that has the highest amplitude relative to the limit the repeatability of the level was reconfirmed. The photographs of the tests system setup on the worst point were taken and recorded. ò-3m ô-10m EUT1-4 mTest Receiver 0.8 m Ground Plane Turntable30 MHz - 300 MHz : Biconical Antenna 300 MHz - 1000 MHz : Log-periodic Antenna JQA Application No. : KL80020521Regulation : CFR 47 FCC Rules Part 15 Model No.: IC-703Issue Date : March 5, 2003 FCC ID: AFJ IC-703 Page 19 of 42 Antenna-Conducted Power 30 MHz - 1000 MHz: The test was performed according to the description of ANSI C63.4-1992 Sec.12.1.5 (Antenna-Conducted Power Measurements).

SignalE U TResistorDistortion GeneratorLoad (8 )MeterΩ ANT IN 2) The setting frequencies of the signal generator were selected the bottom, the medium and the top frequency within each of the frequency bands allocated to the Cellular Radiotelephone Service in CFR 47 FCC Rules and Regulations Part 22 Subpart H. For transmitter in Mobile : 824.040 MHz, 836.505 MHz, 848.970 MHz For transmitter in Base: 869.040 MHz, 881.505 MHz, 893.970 MHz The setting output of the signal generator was adjusted to a level 66dB(μV). The setting frequency modulation was adjusted to an 1 kHz tone at 3 kHz deviation. 3) The EUT is capable of receiving 0.030 MHz - 60.000 MHz. For each frequency in step 2), the band of the EUT was scanned all over the range by stepping up every 1 kHz. Then the squelch of the EUT was adjusted to a minimum threshold level. Whenever the scanning stopped, the detected frequency was noted. 4) The EUT was tuning to the detected frequency under signal generator was setting to the same condition as step 3). At first, The volume position of the EUT was adjusted as the audio nominal power is set to 50mW at 8 .Ω The level of the signal generator(12dB SINAD level at the injected frequency) was adjusted as the distortion meter is set to produce a 12dB SINAD measurement (audio nominal power 50mW at 8 ,Ω and 25% of distortion). 5) The EUT was tuning to the detected frequency under signal generator was setting to the same detected frequency. At first, The volume position of the EUT was adjusted as the audio nominal power is set to 50mW at 8 .Ω The level of the signal generator(12dB SINAD level at the detected frequency) was adjusted as the distortion meter is set to produce a 12dB SINAD measurement (audio nominal power 50mW at 8 ,Ω and 25% of distortion). 6) The rejection ratio, i.e. the difference between the 12dB SINAD levels at the injected frequency and the detected frequency, must be at least 38dB.
