Those wires are for use with the optional matching power supply IC-PS25. The power switch on the front panel of the radio also has contacts wired to the AC input of the PS-25 so that the power supply turns on when you turn the radio on. Most Icom power supplies do not have a separate power switch as Icom designs the radio to turn the power supply on.

BTW here is a link to the manual for that radio if you don't have one.
