s&/2#,!33"5.).4%.4)/.!,2!$)!4/23
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in ac-
cordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio communications. However, there is no guaran-
tee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a
power source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity.
This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable be-
tween the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection
is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.
R WARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where
normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it
could cause bodily injury.
#!54)/. NEVER allow children to touch the trans-
ceiver.
#!54)/. NEVEREXPOSETHETRANSCEIVER TO RAIN
snow or any liquids.
USE the specified microphone only. Other microphones
have different pin assignments and may damage the trans-
ceiver.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or
in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the ve-
hicle’s engine. The vehicle’s battery will quickly run out when
the transceiver transmits while the vehicle’s engine is OFF.
DO NOTPLACETHETRANSCEIVERINEXCESSIVELYDUSTYENVI-
ronments.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. This will ob-
struct heat dissipation.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver sur-
faces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods of time.
Approved Icom optional equipment is designed for optimal
performance when used with an Icom transceiver.
Icom is not responsible for the destruction or damage to an
Icom transceiver in the event the Icom transceiver is used with
equipment that is not manufactured or approved by Icom.

The transceiver detects numbers in the same block as identical.
Therefore “01234” and “56789” are the same.
e If all channel indicator LEDs still blink after inputting 4 dig-

power and re-enter your password.
N Channel selection
There are several methods to select channels, and they may
differ, according to your system set up.
Push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to sequentially select the desired
operating channel, or push one of the [MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4]

The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:
- The channel is muted (‘Inaudible’ mode)
- The channel is busy.
- Un-matched CTCSS is received.
(Or matched, depending on the preprogramming)
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.
s4IMEOUTTIMER
After continuously transmitting for the pre-programmed time
period, the time-out timer is activated, causing the trans-
ceiver to stop transmitting.
s0ENALTYTIMER
Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further
inhibited for a period, determined by the penalty timer.

2BASIC OPERATION
N Emergency transmission
When [Emergency] is held down for the specified time pe-
riod*, the emergency signal is transmitted on the specified
emergency channel once, or repeatedly.
When no emergency channel is specified, the call is transmit-
ted on the operating channel.
The repeat emergency signal is automatically transmitted
until you turn OFF the power.
Depending on the preprogramming, receiving a matching
5-tone code cancels the transmission.
If you want to cancel the Emergency function, hold down
[Emergency] for the pre-programmed time period again be-
fore transmitting the call.
If your transceiver is programmed for Silent operation, you
can transmit emergency calls without the beep sounding and
the LEDs lighting.
)-0/24!.4 It is recommended to set an emergency
channel individually to provide the certain emergency call
operation
.

D Transmitting an Emergency Call
The MDC 1200 system’s Emergency feature can be ac-
cessed using the [Emergency] key (p. 4). The transceiver
will send an Emergency MDC 1200 system command once,
or repeatedly for a programmed number of times, until it re-
ceives an acknowledgement signal.
The emergency call can be transmitted without a beep sound,
depending on the preprogramming. Ask your dealer for de-
tails.
D Receiving a Stun and Revive
The dispatcher can send MDC 1200 system signals that
will stun or revive your transceiver. If a Stun command that
matches your station ID is received, the transceiver will not
receive or transmit. When a Revive command that matches
your station ID is received, normal operation is restored.
