■Your first contact
Now that you have your ID-800H installed in your car or
shack, you are probably excited to get on the air. We would
like to take you through a few basic operation steps to make
your first “On The Air” an enjoyable experience.
1. Turning ON the transceiver
Before powering up your ID-800H, you may want to make
sure the audio volume and squelch level controls are set in
9–10 o’clock positions.
Although you have purchased a brand new transceiver, some
settings may be changed from the factory defaults because
of the QC process. Resetting the CPU is necessary to start
from factory default.
➥While pushing both [SET•LOCK] and [S.MW•MW], push
[PWR] for 1 sec. to reset the CPU.
2. Selecting the operating frequency band
The ID-800H has 2 m and 70 cm transmittable bands.
➥Push [BAND] to select the desired frequency band.

ANTENNA INFORMATION
For radio communications, the antenna is of critical impor-
tance, to maximize your output power and receiver sensi-
tivity. The transceiver accepts a 50 Ωantenna and less
than 1:1.5 of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). High
SWR values not only may damage the transceiver but also
lead to TVI or BCI problems.

■Squelch attenuator
The transceiver has an RF attenuator related to the squelch
level setting. Approx. 10 dB attenuation is obtained at maxi-
mum setting.

IMPORTANT! (for 55/50 W transmission):
The ID-800H is equipped with protection circuit to protect
the power amplifier circuit from high SWR (Standing Wave
Ratio) and temperature. When a high SWR antenna or no
antenna is connected, or when the transceiver temperature
becomes extremely high, the transceiver reduces transmit
output power to 15 W (approx.) automatically.
CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna will damage
the transceiver.

REPEATER OPERATION
4
Repeaters allow you to extend the operational range of your
radio because a repeater has much higher output power than
the typical transceiver.
Normally, a repeater has independent frequencies for each
receiver and transmitter.
Asubaudible tone may also be required to access a repeater.
Reference amateur radio hand books and local ham maga-
zines for details of local repeaters such as repeater input/out-
put frequencies and locations.
•Repeater operation flow chart
•The ID-800H USA version has the auto repeater function. Thus the
steps 3 and 4 may not be necessary, depending on the setting.
•Repeater settings can be stored into a memory channel.
Step 3:
Set the duplex (shifting) direction (– duplex or +duplex).
- Set the offset frequency (shifting value), if required.
Step 4:
Set the subaudible tone (repeater tone) encoder function ON.
- Set the subaudible tone frequency, if required.
Step 1:
Set the desired band to operate the repeater.
Step 2:
Set the desired receive frequency (repeater output frequency).

■Priority watch types
Priority watch checks for signals on a VFO frequency every
5sec. while operating in memory mode. The transceiver has
3 priority watch types to suit your needs. You can also trans-
mit on the VFO frequency while the priority watch operates.
The watch resumes according to the selected scan resume
condition. See previous page for details.
☞NOTES:
➧If the pocket beep function is activated, the transceiver
automatically selects the tone squelch function when pri-
ority watch starts.
MEMORY CHANNEL WATCH
While operating on a VFO fre-
quency, priority watch checks for
a signal on the selected memory
channel every 5 sec.
MEMORY SCAN WATCH
While operating on a VFO fre-
quency, priority watch checks for
signals on each memory chan-
nel in sequence.
•The memory skip function is useful
to speed up the scan.
CALL CHANNEL WATCH
While operating on a VFO fre-
quency, priority watch checks for
signals on the call channel every
5sec.
