![134PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONSDDMONITOR AUDIBLE FUNCTIONThe monitor function allows you to open the transceiver’s squelchmanually to check whether a channel is busy or not. The trans-ceiver has 2 conditions for receive standby:Audible condition:This condition mutes audio ONLY whenno carrier is present. You can receive (ormonitor) any signals on a channel.• Push and hold the [Moni] (LMR) or[Moni (Audi)] (PMR) switch to select theaudible condition.Any audio mute functions are cancelledwhile pushing the [Moni] (LMR) or[Moni (Audi)] (PMR) switch.Inaudible condition:This condition mutes ALL signals exceptthose directed to you. Therefore youshould check a channel’s condition (busyor not) with the monitor function beforetransmitting.• Push the [Moni] (LMR) or [Moni (Audi)](PMR) switch momentarily to select the in-audible condition.DDTALK AROUNDThe talk around function changes duplex channels to simplex chan-nels.• Duplex allows you to contact your base station, repeaters, etc.• Simplex allows you to contact other portable transceivers directly(portable-to-portable contact).Push the [Talk Around] switch to toggle the function ON and OFF.All signals are received.Only signals containing the proper tone are received.](https://usermanual.wiki/ICOM-orporated/IC-F4G-3.revised-users-manual-with-RF-Safety-Training/User-Guide-129108-Page-19.png)
![144PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONSDDDTMF TRANSMISSIONThis function allows you to send a pre-programmed DTMF code tocontrol a repeater, open another transceiver’s squelch, etc.Manual transmission:Push the desired digit keys in sequence while pushing [PTT].• Pushing [PTT] may not be necessary depending on programming.Automatic pre-programmed transmission:qPush the [DTMF Autodial] switch to select DTMF autodial mode,then push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select the desired channel.wPush the [DTMF Autodial] switch to send a DTMF code.DD DTMF RE-DIAL FUNCTIONThis function allows you to transmit the last-used DTMF code at thepush of a key.Push the [Re-dial] switch momentarily to activate the function.• The previously transmitted DTMF code is automatically transmitted.• If no code has been transmitted since turning the power ON, this func-tion does not activate.DDEMERGENCY FUNCTIONThe emergency function allows you to send an emergency signalquickly and easily to your Base Station, etc. in case of emergency.Push and hold the [Emergency Single/Repeat] switch for 1 sec. toactivate the emergency function.• The transceiver selects a pre-programmed channel, then sends anemergency signal to your Base Station.• The pre-programmed channel remains selected until a control signal isreceived from the Base Station, or power is turned OFF.• The emergency call is repeatedly transmitted at pre-programmed in-tervals.](https://usermanual.wiki/ICOM-orporated/IC-F4G-3.revised-users-manual-with-RF-Safety-Training/User-Guide-129108-Page-20.png)
![154PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONSDDDISPLAY LIGHTINGThe function display has 3 backlight conditions.ON : Backlight turns ON continuously. OFF : No backlight is available.AUTO : When any key, except [PTT], is pushed, the backlightturns ON for 5 sec. automatically.DDSmarTrunk IITM functionsThis transceiver provides SmarTrunk IITM functions.(Optional UT-105 SmarTrunk IITM Logic Boardis required.)The optional UT-105 allows communication over conventionalchannels or SmarTrunk IITM channels. Select a channel bank forSmarTrunk IITM before trunking operation.To toggle SmarTrunk IITM channels and conventional channels, pushthe [Bank] switch one or more times.• Scanning starts when a channel bank for SmarTrunk IITM is selected.• Contact your dealer for channel bank details. (See p. 19 for more detailed operation.)](https://usermanual.wiki/ICOM-orporated/IC-F4G-3.revised-users-manual-with-RF-Safety-Training/User-Guide-129108-Page-21.png)
![165CONVENTIONAL OPERATION‘‘Receiving and transmittingNOTE: Transmitting without an antenna may damage the trans-ceiver. See p. 1 for antenna attachment.Turn power ON as described on p. 3.Receiving:qPush [CH Up]/[CH Down], or rotate [SEL] to select a channel.wListen for a transmission and adjust [VOL] to a comfortable lis-tening level.• When no transmission is heard, push and hold monitor while ad-justing [VOL] (your transceiver may not be programmed with themonitor function).The transceiver is now set to receive desired calls on the selectedchannel.Transmitting:Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference.eWhile pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the microphone at anormal voice level.• When a tone signalling system is used, the call procedure de-scribed at right may be necessary.rRelease [PTT] to return to receive.IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your transmitted sig-nal, pause a few seconds. After pushing [PTT], holdthe microphone 2 to 4 in. (5 to 10 cm) from yourmouth and speak at a normal voice level.](https://usermanual.wiki/ICOM-orporated/IC-F4G-3.revised-users-manual-with-RF-Safety-Training/User-Guide-129108-Page-22.png)
![175CONVENTIONAL OPERATION‘‘Call procedureWhen your system employs tone signalling (excluding CTCSS andDTCS), the call procedure may be necessary prior to voice trans-mission. The tone signalling employed may be a selective callingsystem which allows you to call specific station(s) only and preventunwanted stations from contacting you.qSelect the desired Tx code channel or 5-tone code according toyour System Operator’s instructions.• This may not be necessary depending on programming.• Refer to the next page for selection.wPush the call switch (assigned to one of the dealer programma-ble switches: [P0], [P1], [P2], [P3], [F2] and [F3]).eAfter transmitting a 5-tone code, the remainder of your commu-nication can be carried out in the normal fashion.Selective calling Non-selective calling](https://usermanual.wiki/ICOM-orporated/IC-F4G-3.revised-users-manual-with-RF-Safety-Training/User-Guide-129108-Page-23.png)
![185CONVENTIONAL OPERATION‘‘Tx code channel selectionYour radio may be programmed for Tx code channel selection. Inthis case, you can choose a Tx code channel to be transmittedwhen using the call function (p. 17).Push [Tx Code CH Up/Down] (assigned to one of the dealer-pro-grammable switches) to select the desired Tx code channel.• The selected code channel (containing a pre-programmed 5-tonecode) is transmitted when using the call function.‘‘Manual 5-tone codesDepending on programming, you may be able to send 5-tone codesmanually.Push [Tx Code] to activate the function, then enter the desiredtransmit code (up to 7 digits) using the keypad.• Activate the call function to transmit the 5-tone code.• Blinking indicates keypad entry is acceptable.‘‘Transmitting notesDDTIME-OUT TIMERAfter continuous transmission for a pre-programmed period, thetime-out timer is activated, causing the transceiver to stop trans-mitting.DDPENALTY TIMEROnce the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further in-hibited for a period determined by the penalty timer.](https://usermanual.wiki/ICOM-orporated/IC-F4G-3.revised-users-manual-with-RF-Safety-Training/User-Guide-129108-Page-24.png)
