How to send and receive a picture from one IC-9700 to another
Step 1 Preparation
・Install SA-4001A or SA-4001W, Picture Utility Software.
<ST-4001A> for Android: Download free on Google Play
<ST-4001I> for iOS: Download free on App Store<ST-4001W>for Windows: Download free on the Icom website
・Insert an SD card into the IC-9700.
・Connect the IC-9700 to a LAN. Connect your smartphone or other device with the ST-4001A, ST-4001I, or ST4001W application software installed to the same LAN.
On the IC-9700's “PICTURE” screen, touch the "i" button (shown in the red circle below) to display the IP address
assigned to the IC-9700. Once the IP address is entered in the ST-4001A/I/W, your device can be connected tothe IC-9700.

Touch the “i” button on the display

Tip!
On the Windows version software (ST-4001W), you can also enter a network name instead of an IP address. In thiscase, even if the IP address of the IC-9700 is changed by DHCP, you donʼt need to set it up again on your device.

Step 2 Setting up a picture to be sent
Select a picture on the ST-4001A/I/W. You can crop and resize it and/or add text (call sign, message, and so on)
to create an image to be sent.
When you touch the enter or the Transfer button (shown below in the red circles), the image is automaticallyadjusted to the maximum size (640 x 480) and file size (200 KB or less) that the IC-9700 can handle, and transferredto the IC-9700ʼs SD card.

Step 3 Sending a picture
The IC-9700 has a default image size of 320 x 240 (standard quality) that is optimal for normal data transmission.
If necessary, you can make some adjustments, such as image size and image quality, with the IC-9700. For an image
size of 320 x 240 (standard quality), the transmission time is about 2 minutes and 30 seconds in the Slow Datamode, and about 45 seconds in the Fast Data mode. You can also select a picture from the TX picture history andsend it.
* Image transmission times vary, depending on the image. The more complex the image, the longer it takes.

The transmitted image is saved on the IC-9700

PICT TX: When you touch the PICT TX button, you can transmit the image along with voice communication whilepressing PTT. The transfer is stopped when the transmission is finished. When you touch and hold the PICT TX
button for 1 second (or until you hear 2 beeps), the IC-9700 transmits the image each time you press the PTT, justlike it sends the preset messages and location information each time you press the PTT.
TX ALL: If you touch the TX ALL button, the image is transmitted in the Fast Data mode. If the image transmission
was not completed in the PICT TX mode, you can touch TX ALL to transmit the remaining portion of the image
in the Fast Data mode.

Tip!
Selecting “PTT Input” on the PTT Terminal function setting (MENU> SET> Connectors> PTT Port Function)
separates the microphone PTT from the SEND line. This makes it possible to interrupt transfer by pressing themicrophone PTT button during image transmission in the Fast Data mode.
While transmitting recorded voice using the Voice TX memories, when you press the PTT, the IC-9700 stops
transmitting immediately, and you can speak into the microphone.

Step 4 Receiving a picture
When the IC-9700 receives an image, an icon indicating that an image is being received comes up on the screen(shown in the red circle below). Touching this icon displays the image reception screen. Up to 50 received image
histories can be viewed (SD card required). If you want to save the image, touch “Save”, and it will be saved as ajpg picture on the SD card.
