BASIC OPERATION
■ Turning power ON
■ Call procedure
q Rotate [VOL] to turn the power ON.
w If the transceiver is programmed for a start up passcode,
input the digit codes as directed by your dealer.
When your system employs tone signalling (excluding
CTCSS and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary
prior to voice transmission. The tone signalling employed may
be a selective calling system which allows you to call specific
station(s) only and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you.
q Select the desired DTMF encode channel according to
your System Operator’s instructions.
• The keys in the table below can be used for password input:
• The transceiver detects numbers in the same block as identical.
Therefore “01234” and “56789” are the same.
UP
KEY
NUMBER
e When the “PASSWORD” indication does not clear after
inputting 4 digits, the input code number may be incorrect.
Turn the power off and start over in this case.
• This may not be necessary depending on programming.
• Refer to pgs. 11, 14, 16 for selection.
w Push the [PTT].
e After transmitting a DTMF code, the remainder of your
communication can be carried out in the normal fashion.

CONVENTIONAL OPERATION
■ Receiving and transmitting
NOTE: Transmitting without an antenna may damage the
transceiver. See p. 1 for antenna attachment.
Receiving:
q Rotate [VOL] to turn the power ON.
w Push [UP] or [DOWN], or rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR]
to select the conventional system channel, in sequence.
e When receiving a call, adjust the audio output level to a
comfortable listening level.
Transmitting:
Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference.
q While pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.
w Release [PTT] to return to receive.
D Transmitting notes
• Transmit inhibit function
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:
- Channel is busy.
- Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received.
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.
• Time-out timer
After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time
period, the time-out timer is activated, causing the transceiver to stop transmitting.
• Penalty timer
Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further
inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer.
IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your signal;
1. Pause briefly after pushing [PTT].
2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from
your mouth, then speak into the microphone at a normal
voice level.

CONVENTIONAL OPERATION
■ Emergency transmission
■ Stun function
When [Emergency], [Emergency Single] or [Emergency
Repeat] is pushed, an emergency signal is automatically
transmitted for the specified time period.
When the specified code, set as a stun code, is received, the
stun function will be activated. When the stun code is
received, “STUNNED” appears on the display and the transceiver cannot be used. To use the transceiver, the stun
release code must be received.
Also, if the transceiver’s running time exceeds the preset running time limit, the transceiver cannot be used. To use the
transceiver, extend the running time limit or turn the Run Time
Limit function OFF using the CS-F43TR CLONING SOFTWARE.
When [Emergency] is pushed, the DTMF emergency signal
is transmitted on the priority channel.
When [Emergency Single] or [Emergency Repeat] is
pushed for the specified time period, the DTMF emergency
signal is transmitted once or repeatedly on the emergency

BATTERY CHARGING
■ Battery charging
■ Battery caution
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
CAUTION! NEVER
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn the
power OFF while charging.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
+10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F)
• Use the specified chargers (BC-119N and BC-121N).
NEVER use another manufacture’s charger.
• Use the specified AC adapter. NEVER use another manufacture’s adapter.
insert battery pack/transceiver
(with the battery pack attached) in a wet or soiled condition
into the charger. This may result in corrosion of the charger
terminals or damage to the charger. The charger is not waterproof and water can easily get into it.
NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas
may cause an explosion.
NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery
pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching
it to the transceiver.
NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace,
etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near
metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc.
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after
being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power
ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the
batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little), new battery pack must be purchased.

SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic
energy during transmit mode. This radio is
designed for and classified as “Occupational Use
Only”, meaning it must be used only during the
W ARN ING course of employment by individuals aware of the
hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards.
This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in
an uncontrolled environment.
This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only”. In addition, your Icom
radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with
regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C,
Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE
Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure
to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300
GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE
Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially
Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.
• The following accessories are authorized for use with this
product. Use of accessories other than those specified may
result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.; Belt Clip (MB-94),
Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack (BP-232) and Speakermicrophone (HM-131L).
26
To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits
for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
C AU TIO N
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna
attached, as this may damaged the radio and may also
cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper
antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time
(“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time
can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be
exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “ ” (TX indicator) lights. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing
the “PTT” switch.
• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away
from the body when transmitting and only use the Icom beltclips listed on page 25 when attaching the radio to your belt,
etc., to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements
are not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm
(2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side.
The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what
to do to assure that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that
can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems.
To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs
are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas
that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals,
aircraft, and blasting sites.
Occupational/Controlled Use
The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are
exposed as consequence of their employment provided those
persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure and can
exercise control over their exposure.
