at the following temperature range:
–20˚C (–4˚F) to +50˚C (+122˚F) (within a month).
–20˚C (–4˚F) to +35˚C (+95˚F) (within three months).
–20˚C (–4˚F) to +20˚C (+68˚F) (within a year).
D Charging caution
• R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with
extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves,
inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such
environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will
activate, causing the battery to stop charging.
• WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the battery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the
battery is not completely charged by the specified time, stop
charging and remove the battery from the battery charger.
Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specified time
limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rupture.

BASIC OPERATION
N Operating mode selection
N Attenuator function
Operating modes are determined by the modulation of the
radio signals. The transceiver has total 5 operating modes
(FM, FM-N, WFM, AM and DV modes). The mode selection is
stored independently for each band and memory channel.
The attenuator prevents distortion of a desired signal by very
strong signals near the desired frequency or when very strong
electric fields, such as from a broadcasting station, are present
at your location. The attenuation is about 10 dB.

DV MODE PROGRAMMING
N About the D-STAR system
In the D-STAR (Digital Smart Technologies for Amateur
Radio) system, repeater linking via a 10 GHz backbone and/
or internet gateway provides you with much wider coverage
range during digital voice mode operation.
• D-STAR system outline

Furthermore, D-STAR repeaters can be linkled through an
internet gateway, which can extend the communication range
dramatically. For example, when station B uses the internet
gateway connection, it can communicate with station C even
though they are thousands of miles apart! By using the gateway connection, long distance communication is possible
using 144 or 440 MHz digital voice!
In the D-STAR system, an independent repeater’s operating
area is called an Area and a group that of linked repeaters
via a 10 GHz backbone is called a Zone.
Internet
10 GHz
In traditional repeater operation, stations that are communicating must both be in the repeater's operating area. However,
D-STAR repeaters can be linked via a 10 GHz backbone, as
shown in the illustration at left. Using D-STAR, stations A and
B can communicate even though they are in widely separated
repeater operating areas.
Station D
About time-out timer function
The IC-80AD has a time-out timer function for digital repeater operation. The timer limits a continuous transmission to approx. 10 min. Warning beeps will sound approx.
30 sec. before time-out and then again immediately before
time-out.
