quently their spacing is narrow compared with units hav-
ing 38 tones. Therefore, some tone frequencies may re-
ceive interference from adjacent tone frequencies.

D Digital repeater setting (D RPT)
When accessing a digital repeater that the repeater call sign
is different than the transceiver’s current call sign, the re-
peater call sign can be stored into “RPT1” of the current call
sign automatically by reading the repeater’s down link signal.

When your own individual station call is received, the calling
station call sign can be automatically set in “UR” of the cur-
rent call sign. (default: OFF)

When a signal other than DV mode is received during DV
mode operation, the transceiver has capability of automatic
FM mode selection.
• OFF : Operating mode is fixed in DV. (default)

ten.

grammed into the selected call sign memory.
• AUTO : The edited or corrected call sign is pro-
grammed into a blank channel automatically.
(default)
DAuto gateway setting (GW SET)
When the repeater has gateway capability and the repeater is
set to the access repeater “RPT1,” the link repeater “RPT2” is
set the same repeater’s call sign with G automatically.
• OFF : Auto gateway setting is disabled. (default)
• AUTO : RPT2 is automatically set as the gateway re-
peater by the RPT1’s call sign.
D RX call sign display (RX CS)
When a call is received, the calling station call sign can be
displayed automatically. (default: AUTO)

DSubaudible (repeater) tone
Some repeaters require subaudible tones to be accessed.
Subaudible tones are superimposed over your normal signal
and must be set in advance.
DTone and DTCS squelches
The tone squelch (CTCSS) or DTCS squelch opens only
when receiving a signal containing a matching subaudible
tone or DTCS code, respectively. You can silently wait for calls
from group members using the same tone or code. Separate
tone frequencies can be set for repeater and tone squelch/
pocket beep operation.
DReverse tone/DTCS squelch
The reverse tone/DTCS squelch is convenient if you want to
ignore a specific signal. The transceiver mutes the squelch
when a signal with the matched tone or code is received.
“T SQL-R” / “DTCS-R” is displayed when the reverse tone/
DTCS squelch is set.
DPocket beep
These functions use subaudible tones or DTCS codes for
calling and can be used as a “common pager” to inform
you that someone has called while you were away from the
transceiver.

D Weather alert function U.S.A. version only
NOAA broadcast stations transmit weather alert tones be-
fore important weather announcements. When the weather
alert function is turned ON, the selected weather channel
is monitored every 5 sec. for the announcement. When the
alert signal is detected, the “ALT” and the WX channel indica-
tions are displayed alternately and sounds a beep tone until
the transceiver is operated. The previously selected (used)
weather channel is checked periodically during standby or
while scanning.
qSelect the desired weather channel.
w Enter “WX-ALT” in SCAN set mode.

push [MENU ] to return to the weather channel indica-
tion.
tSet the desired stand-by condition.
• Select VFO, memory or call channel.
• Scan or priority watch operation can also be selected.
y When the alert is detected, a beep sounds and the follow-
ing indication will be displayed.
Shows above indications alternately.
uTurn the weather alert function OFF in Scan menu.
NOTE: While receiving a signal (on a frequency other
than the weather alert ON frequency), the receiving signal
or audio will be interrupted momentarily every 5 sec. (ap-
prox.) in the case that the alert function is turned ON. This
symptom is caused by the WX alert function. To cancel
these symptoms, set the weather alert item OFF in set
mode.

To prevent accidental prolonged transmission, etc.,
the transceiver has a time-out timer. This timer cuts a
transmission OFF after 1, 3, 5 or 10 min. of continuous
transmission. This timer can be cancelled (default).
Approx. 10 sec. before the time-out timer is activated, the
transceiver emits a beep tone as a warning.

N Cloning function
The IC-80AD has transceiver-to-transceiver data cloning
capability. This function is useful when you want to copy all
of the programmed contents from one IC-80AD to another.
• An optional OPC-474 CLONING CABLE is required.
q Turn the transceiver’s power OFF, then connect an optional
OPC-474 between both [SP] jacks.

w While pushing [M/CALL] and
[MENU ], push and hold
[PWR] for 1 sec. to enter clon-
ing mode.
• “CLONE M” appears.
ePush [PTT] on the “master” transceiver.
• “CL OUT M” appears and the bar meter shows that cloning is
taking place.
• After the cloning is completed, the display returns to “CLONE

N Resetting
The display may occasionally display
erroneous information (e.g. when first
applying power). This may be caused
externally by static electricity or by
other factors.
If this problem occurs, turn power OFF.
After waiting a few seconds, turn power
ON again. If the problem persists, per-
form either or both procedures below.
• All reset
Reset the CPU before operating the
transceiver for the first time, or if the
internal CPU malfunctions, to clear and
return all programmed contents to their
default settings.
• Partial reset
If you want to initialize the operat-
ing conditions (VFO frequency, VFO
settings, set mode contents) without
clearing the memory contents, a partial
reset function is available for the trans-
ceiver.
D All reset
q Push and hold [PWR] for 1 sec. to
turn power OFF.
w While pushing and holding [V/MHz],
[M/CALL] and [], then turn power
ON to reset the CPU.
• “CLEAR” appears when resetting the
CPU (See the illustration below).
CAUTION: Resetting the CPU re-
turns all programmed contents to
their default settings.
D Partial reset
q Push and hold [PWR] for 1 sec. to
turn power OFF.
w While pushing and holding [V/MHz],
then turn power ON to partially
reset the transceiver.
NOTE: No message appears on the
display after the partial reset is done.

PROBLEM
No power comes ON.
No sound comes from the
speaker.
Transmitting is impossible.
No contact possible with
another station.
Frequency can not be set.
Program scan function can
not start.
Memory scan function can
not start.
The displayed frequency is
erroneous.
Can not charge the battery
with BC-139 (LED blinks
orange).
If your transceiver seems to be malfunctioning, please check the following points before sending it to a service center.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• The batteries are exhausted.
• Loose connection of a battery pack (case).
• The battery polarity is reversed.
• Volume level is too low.
• External speaker is connected or cloning
cable is inserted.
• The batteries are exhausted.
• A frequency outside of the 144/440 MHz
amateur bands is set.
• Different tone is selected with tone/DTCS
squelch.
• The lock function is activated.
•
Memory mode or call channel is selected.
•
Memory mode or call channel is selected.
• Same frequencies are programmed both
“1A” and “1B” of PROGRAM-CH.
• VFO mode or call channel is selected.
•
The programmed memory channel is only one.
• The CPU malfunctioned.
• External factors caused a fault.
• The transceiver's power is ON.
• The battery pack is fault electric dis-
charge.
SOLUTION
• Replace the batteries or charge the battery pack.
• Clean battery terminals.
• Check the battery polarity.
• Push [] or [] to suitable level.
• Check the connection of the external speaker cor-
rectly or remove the cloning cable.
• Replace the batteries or charge the battery pack.
• Reset the frequency within 144/440 MHz amateur
bands.
• Check the tone/DTCS using tone scan.
•
Push [MENU ] for 1 sec. to cancel the function.
• Push [V/MHz] to set VFO mode.
• Push [V/MHz] to set VFO mode.
• Programming different frequencies in “1A” and “1B”
respectively.
• Push [M/CALL] to set memory mode.
• Program 2 or more memory channels.
• Reset the transceiver.
• Remove and re-attach the battery pack or battery
case.
• Turn the transceiver’s power OFF, or insert only the
battery pack into the BC-139 to charge it.
• The battery pack is charged alone (without the trans-
ceiver) or regular charge is carried out.
