![344BIIS OPERATION4334BIIS OPERATION■Auto emergency transmissionWhen [Emergency Single (Silent)] or [Emergency Repeat (Silent)] ispushed, an emergency signal is automatically transmitted for thespecified time period.The status 22 (Emergency) is sent to the selected ID station, andthe position data is transmitted after the emergency signal when aGPS receiver is connected to the transceiver.The emergency transmission is performed on the emergency chan-nel, however, when no emergency channel is specified, the signal istransmitted on the previously selected channel.There is no change in the function display or beep emission duringautomatic emergency transmission.■Stun functionWhen the specified ID, set as a killer ID, is received, the stun func-tion is activated.When the killer ID is received, the transceiver switches to the pass-code required condition. Entering of the passcode via the keypad isnecessary to operate the transceiver again in this case.■BIIS indicationThe following indications are available for the BIIS operation on anMSK channel.: Individual/group call is successful.: Message (status or SDM) transmission is successful.: No answer back is received.: Appears during retry of the call (2nd call).: End the communication.: Operating channel is in busy.■Priority A channel selectionWhen one of the following operations is performed, the transceiverselects the Priority A channel automatically.Priority A is selected when;•Clear down signal is received/transmitted- Set the “Move to PrioA CH” item as “Clear Down”.•Turning the power ONThe Priority A channel is selected each time the transceiverpower is turned ON.•Status callThe Priority A channel is selected when transmitting a statuscall.- Enable the “Send Status on PrioA CH” item in the MSK con-figuration.!IC-F50_F60 BIIS.qxd 03.9.3 1:38 PM Page 33 (1,1)](https://usermanual.wiki/ICOM-orporated/268201/User-Guide-380942-Page-21.png)

If the connector becomeswet, be sure to dry it BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver.NOTE: The microphone is located at the top of the speaker-mi-crophone, as shown in the diagram above. To maximize thereadability of your transmitted signal (voice), hold the micro-phone approx. 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from your mouth, andspeak in a normal voice level.Alligator type clipTo attach the speaker-mic.to your shirt or collar, etc.PTT switchTransmits during pushReceives during releaseMicrophoneSpeaker■AttachmentAttach the connector of the speaker-microphone into the [SP MIC]connector on the transceiver and tighten the screw.IMPORTANT: KEEP the [SP MIC] jack cover attached (trans-ceiver) when the speaker-microphone is not in use. Water willnot get into the transceiver even if the cover is not attached,however, the terminals (pins) will become rusty, or the trans-ceiver will function abnormally if the connector becomes wet.CAUTION: Attach the speaker-microphone s connector securely to pre-vent accidental dropping, or water intrusion in the connector.!IC-F50_F60 BIIS.qxd 03.9.3 1:38 PM Page 45 (1,1)](https://usermanual.wiki/ICOM-orporated/268201/User-Guide-380942-Page-27.png)
