FEATURES 2.

■ DUAL BAND CAPABILITY	The IC-32A/AT/E made it possible to operate both VHF (144MHz) and UHF (430 or 440MHz) bands from your palm. Without taking along two transceivers, QSY from crowded 144MHz band to uncrowded 430 or 440MHz band is very easy.
■ FULL DUPLEX CAPABILITY	The transceiver provides simultaneous receive and transmit operation on VHF and UHF bands. While receiving on VHF band, for example, you can transmit on the UHF band.
■ HIGH OUTPUT POWER	Full 5.5W on VHF and 5W on UHF band are available with BP-7 or BP-70 BATTERY PACK.
■ NUMEROUS MEMORY CHANNELS	The transceiver equipped with 20 memory channels and 2 CALL channels. Each memory channel and CALL channel can independently memorize operating frequencies, repeater and other information.
■ SCAN AND PRIORITY WATCH FUNCTIONS	Full band scan, programmed scan, memory scan, selected band memory scan and priority watch function are provided with the transceiver.
■ QUICK FREQUENCY SELECTION	The transceiver is equipped both MAIN DIAL and KEYBOARD for quick frequency and memory channel selection.
■ SPLASH RESISTANT	Rubber gaskets ensure that water splashed on the transceiver does not penetrate the casing.
■ POCKET BEEP FUNCTION	This convenient pocket beep function lets you know when subaudible tones identical to your own pre-programmed ones arrive at the transceiver. Just install the optional UT-40 TONE SQUELCH UNIT in the transceiver to activate the function.
■ POWER SAVER	The power saver functions if no signal is received or no switch operation is performed for more than 30sec. and requires only 1/4 current flow during regular receiving conditions.

3. MODE CONSTRUCTION

The transceiver has 4 different modes for versatile, multi-function operations. Following are explanations of each mode.

(1) VFO MODE

145.680 o

This mode is used for VFO frequency operations using all bandwidths.

Two VFOs are provided for VHF and UHF operations.

(2) MEMORY MODE

144.520 7

This mode is used for operating the transceiver using memory channel contents.

The transceiver has 20 double space memory channels. One space for operating and subaudible tone frequencies and the other for full duplex or offset frequency.

(3) CALL CHANNEL MODE

145.000 c

This mode is used for operating the transceiver on a programmed CALL channel. The transceiver has 2 CALL channels for VHF and UHF bands separately.

430.000

(4) SET MODE

430.000 A PROG

This mode is used for programming subaudible tone frequency, ^* tuning steps, programmed scan edges and the power saver ON/OFF.

* IC-32AT : Built-in.

IC-32A/E : When the optional UT-40 TONE SQUELCH UNIT is installed.

5. PRE-OPERATION

5 - 1 CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

(1) REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK

Push the [RELEASE] BUTTON upwards, and slide the battery pack to the right to remove it from the transceiver.

Line drawing of a hand holding a triangular object with an arrow indicating direction (no text or symbols)

(2) CHARGING CONNECTION

To charge the battery pack, use the supplied wall charger or an optional BC-35U/E or BC-36 AC BATTERY CHARGER, or other power source as shown below.

Connect an optional CP-1 CIGARETTE LIGHTER CABLE or external .12 \~ 15V DC power source to the [DC IN 13.8V] JACK for home or mobile operations. When the battery pack is attached, the battery pack will be charged automatically.

Charge the BP-70 for about 9hrs.; or the BP-3 for about 15hrs.

The EX-390 BOTTOM CAP is available from Icom for an external DC operation.

- Charging connection

NOTE: NEVER charge a battery pack from more than one power source.

The BP-3 has a charger jack on the rear panel.

Use supplied wall charger, CP-1 (optional) or external 13.8V DC to this jack.

PRE-OPERATION 5.

(3) BATTERY PACK CAUTIONS

- NEVER throw the battery pack into a fire. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion.

- NEVER put the battery pack in water. If battery pack is wet, be sure to wipe it dry.

- NEVER short the terminals on the top panel of the battery pack. Use the plastic insulator strip provided to prevent this.

- Note that the [TX] INDICATOR may go out during HIGH output power operation with the BP-4. Because current drawn on the battery's internal resistance causes a voltage drop. In this state, the transceiver operates normally for a time. However, when the batteries are exhausted, exchange all old batteries for new ones. DO NOT use old batteries with new ones.

(4) BATTERY PACK LIFE

Stated operation times are approximate and conform to the following ratio:

Transmit : Receive : Standby 1min. 1min. 8min.

	VOLTAGE (V)	CAPACITY (mAh)	OPERATION TIME (hrs.)
			VHF	UHF
BP-2	7.2	450	3.7	3.1
BP-3	8.4	270	1.9	1.6
BP-5 BP-5A	10.8	450	3.2	2.4
BP-7	13.2	450	3.4	2.4
BP-8	8.4	800	5.8	4.8
BP-70	13.2	270	2.0	1.5

(5) BATTERY PACK NOTE

The full charge capacity of NiCd batteries may be reduced if repeatedly charged with only partial discharge periods. This is called the Battery Memory Effect. If the battery capacity seems lower than when new, discharge the battery pack completely through normal use, then charge fully using the proper charger.

5. PRE-OPERATION

5 - 2 ANTENNA CONNECTION

9 - 3 BEEP TONE FUNCTION

FUNCTION + BEEP 9

Beep

A beep tone is emitted each time a key is pushed. If you do not require beep tones, they can be eliminated in the following way:

Push and hold the [FUNCTION] SWITCH and then push the [9] (BEEP) KEY to turn the beep tone function ON and OFF.

When this function is ON the transceiver emits following tones:

- A high tone is emitted when a function is operational.

- A low tone is emitted when a function is not operational.

• Three high tones are emitted when:

• Memory writing
• Memory transferring
• CALL channel writing
• CALL channel transferring

- The pocket beep function is activated even if the beep tone function is turned OFF.

9 - 4 LOCK FUNCTION

FUNCTION + CALL □ LOCK

This function prevents accidental changes of the frequency or other setting.

Push and hold the [FUNCTION] SWITCH and then push the [D] (LOCK) KEY to turn the lock function ON and OFF.

- "L" appears when the lock function is activated.

10. SET MODE

10 - 1 SET MODE CONSTRUCTION

The transceiver has a convenient SET mode for programming:

11. MAINTENANCE

■ BACKUP BATTERY

The usual life of the backup battery is more than 5 years. If the backup battery is exhausted, the transceiver operates normally but frequencies and other information cannot remain memorized when the battery pack is detached.

NOTE: Backup battery replacement must be done by an authorized Icom Dealer or Icom Service Center.

■ RESETTING THE CPU
