INSTRUCTION MANUAL VHF FM TRANSCEIVER iV8000 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FOREWORD IMPORTANT Thank you for purchasing this Icom product. The IC-V8000 VHF FM TRANSCEIVER is designed and built with Icom’s superior technology and craftsmanship. With proper care, this product should provide you with years of trouble-free operation. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely We understand making you have a choice of many different radios in the market place. I want to take a couple of moments of your time to thank you for making your IC-V8000 your radio of choice, and hope you agree with ICOM’s philosophy of “technology first.” Many hours of research and development went into the design of your IC-V8000. before using the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL— This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-V8000. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS WORD FEATURES ❍ 75 W* of high transmit output power (except Taiwan version) DEFINITION Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock R WARNING! may occur. CAUTION NOTE Equipment damage may occur. Recommended for optimum use. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock. ❍ Front mounted speaker for clear readability ❍ Tone squelch, DTCS squelch standard ❍ Dual color (amber & green) LCD backlight ❍ Remote control microphone available (optional for some versions) ❍ Optional DTMF decoder Icom, Icom Inc. and the are registered trademarks of Icom Incorporated (Japan) in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Russia and/or other countries. CAUTIONS RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be observed when operating this device. If you have any questions regarding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65) RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock. RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less may result in an accident. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC. This will ruin the transceiver. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using reverse polarity. This will ruin the transceiver. NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged. NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury. NEVER let objects impede the operation of the cooling fan on the rear panel. DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans- mit. DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment containing a transmitter. During mobile operation, DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the vehicle’s engine. When the transceiver’s power is ON and your vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s battery will soon become exhausted. BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14˚F) or above +60°C (+140˚F). AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s surfaces. USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver if attached. ii 1 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 PANEL DESCRIPTION ■ Front panel Function display (p. 00) PWR M/CALL PRIO !2 !1 TONE T-SCAN LOW DUP V/MHz SCAN MONI ANM SET LOCK MW S.MW !0 BANK OPT Speaker q POWER SWITCH [PWR] Turns power ON and OFF when pushed for 1 sec. e MICROPHONE CONNECTOR Connects the supplied microphone.

We recommend the locations shown in the diagram below. ➀ Drill 4 holes where the mounting bracket is to be installed. NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury. NEVER place the transceiver where air bag deployment may be obstructed. DO NOT place the transceiver where hot or cold air blows directly onto it. • Approx. 5.5–6 mm (3⁄16″) when using nuts; approx. 2–3 mm (1⁄16″) when using self-tapping screws. ➁ Insert the supplied screws, nuts and washers through the mounting bracket and tighten. ➂ Adjust the angle for the clearest view of the function display. Nut Spring washer AVOID placing the transceiver in direct sunlight. • Example— Installation location Dr aft On ly Flat washer When using self-tapping screws Spring washer Mounting bracket Mounting nut INSTALLATION ■ Battery connection ■ DC power supply connection ☞ NEVER connect the transceiver directly to a 24 V battery. ☞ DO NOT use the cigarette lighter socket for power connections. Attach a rubber grommet when passing the DC power cable through a metal plate to prevent short circuits. Use a 13.8 V DC power supply with more than 12 A capacity. Make sure the ground terminal of the DC power supply is grounded. • CONNECTING TO A DC POWER SUPPLY • See p. 00 for fuse replacement. • CONNECTING TO A DC POWER SOURCE • See p. 00 for fuse replacement.

This may distort the signal. r Release [PTT] to return to receive. ■ Squelch attenuator The transceiver has an RF attenuator related to the squelch level setting. Approx. 10 dB attenuation is obtained at maximum setting. ➥ Rotate [SQL] clockwise past the 12 o’clock position to activates the squelch attenuator. • Attenuation level can be adjusted up to 10 dB (approx.) between 12 o’ckloc and fully clockwise position. • When setting the squelch via from the microphone, the level “19” or larger setting to acitivates the squelch attenuator. 17 BASIC OPERATION ■ Selecting output power ■ One-touch PTT function The transceiver has 4* output power levels to suit your operating requirements. Low output powers during short-distance communications may reduce the possibility of interference to other stations and will reduce current consumption. The PTT switch can be operated as a one-touch PTT switch (each push switches transmit/receive). Using this function you can transmit without pushing and holding the PTT switch. *The Thailand and Taiwan versions have only 2 levels. To prevent accidental, continuous transmissions with this function, the transceiver has a time-out timer. See p. 00 for details. Push [LOW(DUP)] several times to select the output power.
