FEATURES

1

TWO BANDS IN A COMPACT BODY

The IC-3210A/E gives you 2 m and 70 cm in one compact body. Operate two bands with one transceiver. The built-in duplexer allows one-antenna operation.

FULL DUPLEX CAPABILITY

Transmit on one band and receive on the other and you're operating with full duplex. Working full duplex is as easy as talking on the telephone.

SIMPLE PANEL DESIGN

The front panel is very simple: there are only three controls and eleven switches. The simple design makes operation easy — even when driving.

20 DOUBLE-SPACED MEMORY CHANNELS

The IC-3210A/E has 20 double-spaced memory channels. One space stores an operating frequency as well as all information required to work a repeater. When not working a repeater, the other space stores a frequency to be used for full duplex. Up to 40 channels can be used for simplex.

THREE SCANS

The IC-3210A/E has three scans: programmed scan, memory scan and selected band memory scan. Using the memory channel skip function, any number of memory channels can be skipped during a scan.

PRIORITY WATCH

Every five seconds, priority watch monitors another band VFO, a call channel, a memory channel, or all memory channels in succession while you work on the operating frequency.

POCKET BEEP

When the UT-40 (sold separately) is installed, the transceiver functions as a pager. When a received tone frequency equals the tone you've set, an alarm of 30 seconds is emitted over the speaker. This is especially convenient for busy schedules, etc.

MONITOR FUNCTION

The monitor function opens the squelch (also the tone squelch when the UT-40 is installed) without you rotating the [SQL/MONITOR] control.

3 INSTALLATION

(1) LOCATION

Select a location for the transceiver that does not interfere with driving in any way. We recommend the locations shown in the diagram below.

Line drawing of a car cockpit with control panel and steering wheel (no text or symbols)

LOCATION NOTES:

NEVER place the transceiver in direct sunlight.

NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.

DO NOT place the transceiver where hot or cold air blows directly on it.

(2) MOUNTING

After mounting the transceiver, be sure all screws have been tightened.

●MOUNTING THE TRANSCEIVER

Technical line drawing of an electronic device with mounting hardware and internal components (no text or symbols)

1) Drill four holes where the mounting bracket is to be installed.

- Hole sizes:

approx. 5.5 \~ 6 mm when using nuts. approx. 2 \~ 3 mm when using self-tapping screws.

2) Insert the supplied screws, nuts and washers through the mounting bracket and tighten.

3) If the mounting location is not flat, use the supplied mounting bracket.

4) Adjust the angle for the clearest view of the function display.

(3) BATTERY CONNECTION

IC-3210A/E rear panel

Supplied DC power cable Fuses (15A) red ⊕ black ⊖ 12V

Crimp Solder

black red DC power cable

CONNEC-TION NOTES: DO NOT connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery. DO NOT use the cigarette lighter socket for power connections. To prevent voltage drops, solder or crimp the cable lag when connecting the power cable to the battery.

(4) EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY

Use a 13.8 V DC power supply with more than 8 A, such as the PS-45 AC POWER SUPPLY.

When using the transceiver as a base station, be sure the power supply is grounded. Use the heaviest gauge wire or strap available and make the connection as short as possible.

3 INSTALLATION

(5) ANTENNA LOCATION

A duplexer is built-in, enabling you to use a dual band antenna.

To obtain maximum performance from the transceiver, select a high-quality antenna and a good location for it.

Roof-mount antenna (Drill a hole or use a magnetic mount.) Gutter-mount antenna Trunk-mount antenna Bumper-mount antenna (Best location for long whip antennas.)

(6) ANTENNA CONNECTOR

Use a PL-259 antenna connector.

Coupling ring 30mm 10mm (Soft solder) 10mm Soft solder 1~2mm Solder Solder (1 inch = 25.4mm) 1) Slide the coupling ring over the coaxial cable. Strip only the cable jacket and soft solder. ● Keep the jacket for soft soldering. 2) Strip the cable as shown at left. Tin the center conductor and the entire length of the exposed braid. 3) Slide the connector body over the cable and solder as shown at left. 4) Screw the coupling ring onto the connector body.

(7) DUPLEXER

You can use a dual band antenna because a duplexer is installed in the IC-3210A/E. However, an external duplexer must be connected when using separate antennas for each band.

MODE CONSTRUCTION

4

The IC-3210A/E has 4 different modes on each band for versatile, multi-function operations.

• VFO MODE

145.000 19

This mode is used for normal operations on the VHF and UHF bands.

- MEMORY MODE

145.000 ■19

This mode is used for operating the transceiver using memory channel contents. You can use 20 double-spaced memory channels. One space stores an operating frequency. The other space stores information required to work a repeater; when not working a repeater, the other space stores a frequency to be used for full duplex.

- CALL CHANNEL MODE

145.000 [

This mode provides you with two channels separate from the memory channels. Each band has one call channel.

- SET MODE

DUP .600

Use the SET mode to program the data as described on p. 10.

To access the SET mode displays, push [SET] on the VFO mode. The display you last used appears.

8-3 CPU RESETTING

NOTE: Resetting the CPU erases all information written into memory channels.

(1) AUTOMATIC RESET

When the power is ON, the CPU is automatically reset under the following conditions:

— The backup battery is empty.
- Static or magnetic field has caused a data error in the CPU RAM.

(2) MANUAL RESETTING

LOCK SQL/MONITOR PUSH-ON/VOL

1) Turn OFF the power.
2) While pushing and holding [SQL/MONITOR] and [LOCK], turn ON the power.

(3) RESETTING THE TUNING STEPS

To exchange 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25kHz tuning steps for 12.5 or 25 kHz steps (and vice-versa), reset the CPU as follows:

SQL/MONITOR PUSH-ON/VOL

1) Turn OFF the power.
2) While pushing and holding [SQL/MONITOR] and one of the following switches, turn ON the power.

• VHF band 5 kHz → 12.5 kHz : [PRIO]

VHF band 12.5 kHz → 5 kHz : [HI/LO]

UHF band 5 kHz → 12.5 kHz : [BAND]

UHF band 12.5 kHz → 5 kHz : [TS]

(4) BACKUP BATTERY

The life of the lithium backup battery is usually more than five years. When the battery is exhausted, the transceiver operates normally but the CPU does not retain the contents of the memory.

NOTE: DO NOT replace the backup battery yourself. It can be replaced only by an authorized Icom Delaer or Service Center.
