RWARNING NEVER

 connect to a battery 

without supplying a DC fuse, otherwise a fire 
hazard occurs.

• 

 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 inver ter system generate a lot of electric 
noise.

• 

 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.

• 

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.

 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.

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