■ Receiving and transmitting
CAUTION:
Attach an antenna before transmitting.
Transmitting without an antenna may damage the trans-
ceiver.
Receiving:
Rotate q[VOL] to turn ON the power.
Rotate w[ROTARY SELECTOR], or push one of the memo-
ry channel keys, [MR-CH1] to [MR-CH4], to select a chan-
nel.
e When receiving a call, adjust the audio output level to a
comfortable listening level.
Transmitting:
Wait until the channel is clear to avoid interference.

Transmitting notes D
Transmit inhibit function•
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict
transmission under the following conditions:
- The channel is busy.
However, depending on the presettings, you can transmit
when the call includes an unmatched (or matched) CTC-
SS (DTCS) tone.
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.
Time-out timer•
If continuous transmission exceeds the preprogrammed
time-out timer limit, transmission is cut off.
Penalty timer•
The time-out timer cuts off transmission, further transmis-
sion is inhibited for the preprogrammed penalty timer peri-
od.
Receiving a Stun, Kill and Revive call D
The dispatcher can send a 2-Tone or 5-Tone that will stun, kill
or revive your transceiver.
When the Stun call is received, beeps sound*, and you can-
not receive or transmit. Receiving a Revive call, or entering a
password*, is necessary to operate the transceiver again.
When the Kill call is received, beeps sound*, and the trans-
ceiver becomes unusable. Cloning the transceiver is neces-
sary to operate the transceiver again, in this case.
* Depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for details.

■ Emergency Call
When pushing [Emergency] for the set time period*, the
transceiver transmits an emergency signal once, or repeat-
edly, on the specified emergency channel.
The transceiver automatically transmits a repeat emergen-
cy signal until it receives an acknowledgement signal, or you
turn OFF the transceiver power.
When no emergency channel is specified, it transmits the
signal on the previously selected channel.
If you want to cancel the emergency call, hold down [Emer-
gency] again before transmitting the call.
If your transceiver is programmed for Silent operation, you
can transmit an Emergency call without the beep sounding
and the LED indicator lighting.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to set an emergency
channel individually to provide the certain emergency call
operation.
NOTE:
Depending on the presetting, the following functions are
automatically activated. Ask your dealer for details.
Auto TX function•
After an emergency call transmission, the transceiver trans-
mits the audio from the microphone for a set time period.*
Auto RX function•
After the emergency call transmission, the transceiver stands
by in the audible mode for the set time period.*
* Depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for details.
13
BASIC OPERATION
2
■ Lone Worker Emergency Call
When the Lone Worker function is ON, and if no operation
occurs for a set time period*, the transceiver automatical-
ly enters the emergency mode. Then the countdown for the
emergency call transmission starts.
After a set time period* has passed, an emergency call is au-
tomatically transmitted once, or repeatedly*.
If the user operates the transceiver before the call is trans-
mitted, the transceiver exits the emergency mode, and the
emergency call is cancelled.
To turn ON the function, see page 6.
■ Man Down Emergency Call
This function may or may not be available, depending on the
presetting.
When the transceiver has been left in a horizontal position
for a set time period*, the transceiver enters the emergency
mode, and then a countdown starts.
After a set time period* has passed, an emergency call is au-
tomatically transmitted once, or repeatedly*.
If the transceiver is placed in a vertical position before the
first transmission, the transceiver exits the emergency mode,
and the emergency call is cancelled.
■
Motion Detection Emergency Call
This function may or may not be available, depending on the
presetting.
If the acceleration sensor detects the user continuous-
ly moves for the set timer period and at the set speed, the
transceiver enters the emergency mode, and then the count-
down starts.
After a set time period* has passed, an emergency call is au-
tomatically transmitted once, or repeatedly*.
Once the countdown starts, you cannot cancel the emergen-
cy call.
* Depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for details.

MDC 1200 SYSTEM OPERATION
■ MDC 1200 system operation
The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your transceiver’s
capabilities. You can receive or transmit PTT ID and Emer-
gency calls. You can also receive Radio Check, Stun, and
Revive calls.
An additional feature of the MDC 1200 system included in
Icom transceivers is called aliasing. Each transceiver on the
system has a unique ID number. Aliasing is a substitute for
this ID number and you can give an alphanumeric name for
each station ID. In transmit, you can use this alias to select a
transceiver to call. In receive, the alias of the calling station
is displayed instead of the ID.
Please confirm that your dealer has set one of the program-
mable keys for MDC 1200 system operation. See page 5 for
more information about the programmable function keys.
The display illustration is for the Simple type and 10-key type
transceivers.
■ Receiving a call
Receiving a PTT ID D
When a PTT ID is received: q
Beeps sound.•
The calling station ID (or alias) is displayed.•
< Calling station ID >
< Alias >
w Hold down [PTT] and speak into the microphone.
e Release [PTT] to receive a response.

D Receiving an Emergency Call
q When an emergency call is received:
Beeps sound.•
The calling station ID (or alias) and “• EMG EMG” are al-
ternately displayed.
The operation of the backlight depends on the Back-•
light setting in the User set mode. When “LIGHT AUT”
or “LIGHT AU2” is selected, the backlight turns ON for a
set time period*.
w When the Send Ack function is turned ON, the transceiver
automatically transmits an acknowledgement to the calling
station.
e Turn power OFF or change the channel to stop the beep
and the display indication.
D Receiving a Stun or Revive Call
If a Stun call is received that matches your station ID, the
transceiver will display a stun text and you can not receive or
transmit. If a Revive call that matches your station ID is re-
ceived, or you enter the password*, the transceiver will be
revived.
When the transceiver is stunned.•
(The Stun text depends on the presetting.)
When you want to revive the stunned transceiver by entering
a password, read the following instructions.
Turn OFF the stunned transceiver once and then turn it q
ON again.
The illustration above is still displayed. Enter the required w
password.
When you enter a correct password, the transceiver will e
be revived and the screen will return to normal.
* Depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for details.

■ Transmitting a call
Transmitting a PTT ID D
You can notify another person of your station ID or alias.
Push q[PTT] to make a call.
Beeps sound, depending on the presetting. w
Your alias or station ID will be transmitted when you push e
[PTT] (at the beginning of transmission) or release it (at
the end of transmission), depending on the presetting.
Transmitting an Emergency Call D
When holding down [Emergency] for a set time period, the
emergency signal is transmitted once or repeatedly* on the
emergency channel. When no emergency channel is speci-
fied, the signal is transmitted on the operating channel.
* When the Repeat Cancel function is ON, the transceiver cancels
repeating after receiving an acknowledgement.
When the Repeat Cancel function is OFF, the transceiver repeats
calling according to the number of repeat cycles, even after receiv-
ing an acknowledgement.
If you want to cancel the emergency call, hold down the key
again before transmitting the call.
You can transmit an emergency call without a beep emis-
sion, and the display indication, depending on the preset-
ting. (Silent operation)
The transceiver can also be programmed to keep the micro-
phone open during an emergency call, allowing monitoring
the situation. Ask your dealer for details.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to set an emergency
channel individually to provide the certain emergency call
operation.
