UNPACKING
2-3
ANTENNA
After unpacking,
immediately describe any damage
to
the
delivering
carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping cartons. For
a
description and a diagram
of
accessory
equipment in-
cluded
with
the IC-725, see UNPACKING on the inside
front cover.

MOUNTING THE
TRANSCEIVER
Select
a
location
for the transceiver that allows adequate air
circulation and access to
the front and
rear panels. Do not
place in areas
subject
to
extr-eme heat, cold, or vibrations,
or near TV sets, radios
and electro-magnetic sources.
For mobile installations,
an
optional IC-MB5 MOBILE
MOUNTING
BRACKET
is
available..
Select
a
location
which
can
support
the weight of the transceiver and does
not interfere
with the
operation of the vehicle.
•ADJUSTABLE
ANGLES
The
stand
on the bottom
of the
IC-725
gives the
transceiver two
selectable
angles.
Select an antenna, such
as a
well-matched 50
12 antenna
and feedline.
The transmission
line
should be a
coaxial
cable. VSWR should
be less
than 1.5:1.
CAUTION:
Protect your
transceiver
from
lightning by
using
a
lightning arrestor.
2-4
GROUNDING
To
prevent
electrical shocks, TVI, BCI
and
other problems,
ground the
transceiver through
the GROUND
terminal on
the
rear panel.
For best results, connect
a
heavy
gauge wire or
strap to a
long earth-sunk
copper rod. Make the
distance
between the
GROUND terminal
and
ground
as
short as
possible.
2-5
WIRING THE
DC
POWER
CABLE
Insert
a
rubber grommet
to
the DC
power cable to
prevent
shorting.
