Icom IC-PCR1000 [5/16] R warning neve

INSTALLATION

■Antenna installation

Antennas play a very important role in receiver operation.

Connecting a poor quality antenna to the IC-PCR1000 will re-

sult in less than optimum performance.

Select antenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 Ω antenna and

feedline. 1.5:1 of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is

recommended for a desired band. Of course, the antenna line

should be a coaxial cable.

CAUTION: Protect your receiver from lightning by

using a lightning arrestor.

NOTE: The supplied antenna is a simple plain antenna which

may not obtain indicated speciﬁcations. To obtain maximum

performance from the IC-PCR1000, you must purchase an

external wide band antenna such as an optional Icom

AH-7000 (25–1300 MHz), etc.

Contact your nearest Icom Dealer or Service Center for re-

garding optimum antenna locations.

The antenna connector type is BNC, so an adapter may

be necessary to connect an optional antenna.

■Grounding

R WARNING: NEVERuse a gas pipe or electrical

conduit pipe for grounding.

To prevent accidents involving electricity and interference

from computers, ground the receiver through the GROUND

terminal on the rear panel.

For best results, connect a heavy gauge cable to a water pipe

or long, earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance between

the [GND] terminal and ground as short as possible.
