CONVENTIONAL OPERATION
■ User set mode
■ Emergency transmission
User set mode is accessed at power ON and allows you to
set seldom-changed settings. In this case you can “customize” the transceiver operation to suit your preferences and
operating style.
When [Emergency Single] or [Emergency Repeat] is pushed,
an emergency signal is automatically transmitted for the specified time period.
Entering the user set mode:
q While pushing and holding [P1] and [P2], rotate [VOL] to
turn the power ON. Then, push and hold [P0] to enter user
set mode.
w Push [P0] several times to select the appropriate item.
Then push [Up] or [Down] to set the desired level/condition.
• Available set mode functions are Backlight, LCD contrast,
Beep, Beep Level, Ringer Level, SQL Level, AF Min Level,
Mic Gain, VOX Gain, VOX Delay, Battery Voltage and Signal
Moni.
e Rotate [VOL] to turn the power OFF to exit user set mode.
NOTE: User set mode is also available via a programmable key. Please refer to p. 9 [User Set Mode] section.
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 channel.
However, when no emergency channel is specified, the signal
is transmitted on the previously selected channel.
■ Scrambler function
The voice scrambler function provides private communication
between stations. The frequency inversion type is equipped
to all versions, moreover, the optional Rolling or Non-rolling
type can be available.
q Push [Scrambler] to turn the scrambler function ON.
• “ ” appears.
w Push [Scrambler] again to turn the scrambler function
OFF.
• “ ” disappears.
16
CONVENTIONAL OPERATION
■ Stun function
When the specified ID, set as a killer ID, is received, the stun
function is activated.
When the killer ID is received, the transceiver switches to the
password required condition. Entering of the password via the
keypad is necessary to operate the transceiver again in this
case.
■ Priority A channel selection
When one of the following operations is performed, the transceiver selects 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 ON
The Priority A channel is selected each time the transceiver power is turned ON.
• Status call
The Priority A channel is selected when transmitting a status call.

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.
R DANGER Charge the specified Icom batteries only.
Only tested and approved for use with genuine Icom batteries. Fire and/or explosion may occur when a third party battery pack or counterfeit product is charged.
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, BC-121N and BC160). NEVER use another manufacture’s charger.
• Use the specified AC adapter. NEVER use another manufacture’s adapter.
CAUTION! NEVER 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.
Recommendation:
Charge the supplied battery pack for a maximum of
up to 10 hours. Li-Ion batteries are different from NiCd batteries in that it is not necessary to completely
charge and discharge them to prolong the battery life.
Therefore, charging the battery in intervals, and not
for extended periods is recommended.
18
AVOID leaving the battery pack in a fully charged, or completely
discharged condition for long time. It causes shorter battery life.
In case of leaving the battery pack unused for a long time, it
must be kept safely after discharge, or use the battery until the
battery indicator appears, then remove it from the transceiver.
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after
being charged, fully charge the battery pack again. If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little), new battery
pack must be purchased.
BATTERY CHARGING

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-231) 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 40 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.
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
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.
