SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

CAUTION

To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits, always adhere to the following guidelines:

• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time ("50% duty cycle"). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the "TX indicator" is lit. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the "PTT" switch.

• ALWAYS use lcom authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.

• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 ~cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting, and only use the lcom belt-clips which are listed in this manual when attaching the radio to your belt, etc. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 ~cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side.

The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility. During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

3 BATTERY PACKS

■ Battery caution

• CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack (or charging terminals of the transceiver). Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful when placing battery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc.

Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a necklace, etc. causes shorting. This will damage not only the battery pack, but also the transceiver.

• NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion.
• NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver.
• Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or poor contact.
• Keep battery contacts clean. It's a good idea to clean battery terminals once a week.

If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or only very little charge), a new battery pack must be purchased (p. 62).

■ Battery charging

Regular charging with the BC-146

The optional BC-146 provides regular charging of an optional battery pack with/without transceiver. The following is additionally required:

• An optional AC adapter. (An AD-99 is supplied with BC-146.)

3 BATTERY PACKS

About AD-99

3 BATTERY PACKS

Charging NOTE

Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.

Recommended temperature range for charging: +10^ to +40^ (+50^ to 140^)
- Use the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-119N/121N/144 for rapid charging, BC-146 for regular charging) only. NEVER use other manufacturers' chargers.

The optional BP-222, BP-209 or BP-210 battery packs include rechargeable Ni-Cd (Ni-MH: BP-210) batteries and can be charged approx. 300 times. Charge the battery pack before first operating the transceiver or when the battery pack becomes exhausted.

If you want to charge the battery pack more than 300 times, the following points should be observed:

• Avoid over charging. The charging period should be less than 24 hours.
• Use the battery until it becomes almost completely exhausted under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging after transmitting becomes impossible.

Battery pack life

When the operating period becomes extremely short even after charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is needed.

■ Battery case (optional for some versions)

When using a BP-208 BATTERY CASE attached to the transceiver, install 6 AA (R6) size alkaline batteries as illustrated below.

CAUTION

• Use ALKALINE batteries only.
• Make sure all battery cells are the same brand, type and capacity.
• Never mix old and new batteries. Either of the above may cause a fire hazard or damage the transceiver if ignored.

When using a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by the offset frequency. It is convenient to program repeater information into memory channels.

① Set the receive frequency (repeater output frequency).
② Push [A•FUNC], then push [4•DUP] several times to select “-” or “+.”

• “-” indicates the transmit frequency is shifted down; “+” indicates the transmit frequency is shifted up.
• Blinking “-” or “+” indicates the reversed duplex mode is selected in SET MODE (p. 48).

③ Push [A•FUNC], then push [1•TONE] to activate the subaudible tone encoder, if required.

"J" appears
- Select the desired subaudible tone frequency, if necessary. (p. 22)

④ Push and hold [PTT] to transmit.

• The displayed frequency automatically changes to the transmit frequency (repeater input frequency).
• If "OFF" appears, check the offset frequency (p. 22) and direction.

⑤ Release [PTT] to receive.
⑥ Push and hold [SQL] to check whether the other station's transmit signal can be directly received or not.

About reversed duplex mode

When the reversed duplex mode is selected, the receive frequency shifts. (Transmit frequency shifts in normal duplex mode.) Each receive and transmit frequency is shown in the table below with the following conditions;

Inputed freq.: 145.30 MHz
Direction: - (negative)
Offset frequency: 0.6 MHz

Reversed	OFF	ON
Rx frequency	145.30 MHz	144.70 MHz
Tx frequency	144.70 MHz	145.30 MHz

PAGER/CODE SQUELCH 10

■ Pager function

Optional UT-108 required

This function uses DTMF codes for paging and can be used as a "message pager" to confirm you of a caller's identification even when you leave the transceiver temporarily unattended.

10 PAGER/CODE SQUEELCH

Code programming Optional UT-108 required

Before programming

The pager and code squelch functions require ID codes and a group code. These codes are 3-digit DTMF codes and must be written into the code channels before operation.

① Decide the ID code of each transceiver and a group code for your group.
② Decide whether you want to return to normal operation or code squelch operation after a connection is made.
③ Program the ID code, group code and transmit codes (other station's codes) as below.

Code channel assignment

ID OR GROUP CODE	CODE CHANNEL NUMBER	“RECEIVE ACCEPT” OR “RECEIVE INHIBIT”
Your ID code	0	“Receive accept” only
Other parties’ ID code	1–6	“Receive inhibit” should be programmed in each channel.
Group code	One of 1–6	“Receive accept” must be programmed.
Memory space*	P	“Receive inhibit” only.

*Channel CP automatically memorizes an ID code when receiving a pager call. The contents in channel CP cannot be changed manually.

Code programming

An ID code MUST be programmed into code channel C0. Up to 6 transmit codes are programmable into code channels, C1 to C6, if required.

① Push [A*FUNC], then push [ 水 OPTION].

• Pager mode is selected.
  100 MHz digit shows "P."

⑤ Rotate [VOL] to select a transmit code channel from C1 to C6.
⑥ Enter the desired 3-digit transmit code via the keypad.
⑦ Push [A•FUNC], then push [6•SKIP] to set the channel for "receive inhibit" or "receive accept."

• When "receive inhibit" is set, "SKIP" appears as at right.
  Code channel C0 cannot be set as "receive inhibit."
• See the table for "receive accept" and "receive inhibit" details (p. 44).

⑧ Repeat steps ⑤ and ⑥ to set additional transmit code channels, if desired.
Push [#ENT or [PTT] to exit code set mode.

SKIP

10 PAGER/CODE SQUEELCH

- Receive accept/receive inhibit

"Receive accept" ("SKIP" indicator does not appear) accepts pager calls when the transceiver receives a signal with a code the same as that in the code channel.
"Receive inhibit" ("SKIP" indicator appears) rejects calls even when the transceiver receives a code the same as that in the code channel. Transmit codes should therefore be programmed for "receive inhibit," otherwise the transceiver will not reject unnecessary calls.

- Pager/code squelch operation during channel indication

To use these functions in channel indication, the pager/code squelch setting must be programmed with other memory contents before selecting channel number indication.
