Hardware Features

Color LCD and Enhanced User Interface

Day and night mode example

A high-resolution color LCD screen improves visibility in both natural and indoor lighting conditions. The night mode LCD setting can used in low-lighting or nighttime conditions. Functions can be easily set by following intuitive icons and menu items. Functions and menu items can be configured in languages other than English, such as French, Spanish, Russian, and Traditional Chinese.

MIL-STD-810 and IP55 Specifications

The IC-F7500 series has been tested to meet U.S. MIL-STD-810 G environmental tests and has a dust protection and water jet resistance rating of IP55. It can be used with peace of mind exposed to rain or splashing water, or in dusty conditions such as outside operation.

Bluetooth® Technology Enables Wireless Operation

The built-in Bluetooth® unit provides a wireless connection with an optional Bluetooth® headset or external Bluetooth® equipment. It also has a VOX function that enables automatic voice transmission in response to your voice, allowing hands-free operation. In addition, third-party wireless Bluetooth® headset (Like a 3M Peltor WS 5) can be used with the radio. Wireless radio programming over Bluetooth® also possible.

Bluetooth® connection has not been tested for all Bluetooth® compatible devices with this product. This does not guarantee that all devices will work with this product.

microSD Card Slot for Voice and Data Storage

The IC-F7500 series has a microSD card* slot for data storage. Call record (transmitted and received) audio, GPS log, memory channel settings and firmware file can all be saved onto the microSD card.

 A microSD/microSDHC is required (up to 32 GB).

USB Connector for PC Connection

The P25 radio can be connected to a PC via a USB (micro-B) port, allowing for data transfer mode, or accessing the installed microSD card in mass storage mode.

D-SUB 25-pin Accessory Connector

The P25 radio has a programmable D-SUB 25-pin accessory connector for connecting external devices. External PTT, channel mode, horn, PA (public address), RX speaker, ignition switch and dimmer control are programmable.

Detached Controller

A detached controller head with the separated RF unit is a simple to install in almost any vehicle.

Voice, Audio and Emergency Features

Customizable Audio Quality

P25 radios also implement audio features and settings to compliment the performance of the vocoder.

Functions Features
Voice Recording/Playback This function records incoming and outgoing calls in WAV format. Various communication data is embedded in the WAV file, such as User IDs, GPS position, frequency, etc. Up to 500 hours can record to a 32 GB microSD card (user supplied).
TX/RX Audio Equalizer This function can improve the audio readability by increasing or decreasing particular audio frequency components. (Flat, high/mid/low boost, low cut)
AF Volume Equalizing This function adds high-pass filter to provide clear, intelligible audio, when increases the volume
TX/RX Active Noise Canceller This function suppresses background noise and improves both transmitted voice and incoming calls.

Emergency Call and Alert

To ensure users safety, P25 handheld radios have the following four emergency related functions. If one of these functions are activated, the radio automatically sends an emergency signal.

Functions Features
Emergency Button

When pressed the Emergency button, the P25 radio automatically transmits an emergency call once or repeatedly.

Lone Worker When no operation is performed for the specified time period, the radio enters the Emergency mode.
Power OFF emergency This function makes the radio transmit Emergency calls, even though it appears to be powered OFF.
