2BASIC OPERATION2-2Selecting a channelThere are several types of channel selections. Methods may differ, depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for details.NON-ZONE TYPE:To select the desired operating channel:Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR]. ÂPush one of [MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4]. Â Push [Prio A], [Prio B], [Prio A (Rewrite)] or [Prio B Â(Rewrite)].AUTOMATIC SCAN TYPE:Channel setting is not necessary for this scan type. When turning ON the power, the transceiver automatically starts scanning. Scanning stops when a signal is received.
2BASIC OPERATION2-3Receiving and transmitting CAUTION: Attach an antenna before transmitting. Transmitting without an antenna may damage the transceiver.Receiving:Rotate [VOL] to turn ON the power.1) Select a channel. (p. 2-2)2) When receiving a call, adjust the audio output level 3) to a comfortable listening level.Transmitting: Wait until the channel is clear to avoid interference. 1) While holding down [PTT], speak at a normal voice level.Release [PTT] to receive.2) IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your signal: 1. After pushing [PTT], pause briefly before you start speaking. 2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from your mouth, then speak at a normal voice level.Transmitting notes •TransmitinhibitfunctionThe transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict transmission under the following conditions:- The channel is busy. However, depending on the presetting, you can transmit when the call includes an unmatching (or matching) CTCSS (DTCS) tone.- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.•Time-outtimer(TOT)If continuous transmission exceeds the preset time-out timer limit, transmission is cut off.•PenaltytimerThe time-out timer cuts off transmission, further transmission is inhibited for the preset penalty timer period.Receiving a Stun, Kill, and Revive call 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 cannot receive or transmit. Receiving a Revive call or cloning the transceiver is necessary to operate the transceiver again.When the Kill call is received, beeps sound, and the transceiver becomes unusable. Cloning the transceiver is necessary to operate the transceiver again, in this case.NOTE:These functions and operations may or may not be available or different, depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for preset information.
2BASIC OPERATION2-4When holding down [Emergency] for the set time period, the transceiver enters the Emergency mode then the countdown starts.After the countdown, the transceiver transmits an Emergency call once, or repeatedly, on the specified Emergency channel. Countdown beeps sound for the set timer period.When no Emergency channel is specified, it transmits the call on the previously selected channel.If you want to cancel the Emergency call, turn OFF the transceiver, or hold down [Emergency] for the set time period again during the first countdown.If your transceiver is set for the Silent operation, you can transmit an Emergency call without beeps and the LED indicator lighting. NOTE: Depending on the presetting, the following functions are automatically activated. Ask your dealer for details.•AutoTXfunctionAfter an Emergency call transmission, the transceiver transmits the audio from the microphone for the set time period.•AutoRXfunctionAfter the Emergency call transmission, the transceiver stands by in the audible mode for the set time period.Emergency callNOTE:This function and operations may or may not be available or different, depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for preset information.
2BASIC OPERATION2-5About other Emergency callsLone Worker Emergency call When the Lone Worker function is ON, the transceiver enters the Emergency mode then the countdown for the Emergency call transmission starts when either/or:1. No operation occurs for the set time period.2. The acceleration sensor detects a lower acceleration than the set value for the set time period.After a set time period has passed, an Emergency call is automatically transmitted once, or repeatedly.If the user pushes any key during the first countdown, the transceiver exits the Emergency mode, and the Emergency call is cancelled.You can also cancel the Emergency call by turning OFF the transceiver.To turn ON the Lone Worker function, see page 1-4.Man Down Emergency call When the transceiver leans past the preset angle 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 automatically transmitted once, or repeatedly.If the transceiver is placed again within the preset angle, during the first countdown, the transceiver exits the Emergency mode, and the Emergency call is cancelled.You can also cancel the Emergency call by turning OFF the transceiver.Motion Detection Emergency call When the acceleration sensor keeps detecting a higher acceleration than the preset value for the set time period, the transceiver enters the Emergency mode then the countdown starts.After the set time period has passed, an Emergency call is automatically transmitted once, or repeatedly.Countdown beeps sound for the set time period.If the user holds down [Emergency] for the set time period during the first countdown, the Emergency call is canceled.You can also cancel the Emergency call by turning OFF the transceiver.NOTE:These functions and operations may or may not be available or different, depending on the presetting.

4MDC 1200 SYSTEM OPERATION4-2MDC 1200 system operationThe MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your transceiver’s capabilities. You can receive or transmit PTT ID and Emergency 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 set a ringer for each station ID. When you receive a call from the specific transceiver, you can distinguish it by its ringer type.NOTE:The MDC 1200 system operation may not be available, depending on the presetting.
