On 2 meters, the power should be about 50%, on 440, (70cm) it should be about 35%. The rig does not put out "full" power on vhf or uhf. Your rig is fine. The manual is crowded with stuff and difficult to understand in places (I have to read some passages at least 3 times). If you don't have one, one can be downloaded in .pdf format from the Icom America website.
