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 dri-

ving 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 re-

verse 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 expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.

The transceiver may be damaged.

NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands. This

may result in an electric shock or ruin the transceiver.

NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the

vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.

DO NOT

push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.

DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment con-

taining 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 op-

erating it continuously for long periods.

AVOID placing the transceiver against walls or putting any-

thing on the top of the transceiver. This will obstruct heat dissi­pation.

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.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

■ Your first contact

Now that you have your IC-2200H installed in your car or
shack, you are probably excited to get on the air. We would
like to take you through a few basic operation steps to make
your first “On The Air” an enjoyable experience.

1. Turning ON the transceiver

Before powering up your IC-2200H, you may want to make
sure the audio volume and squelch level controls are set in
9–10 o’clock positions.

Although you have purchased a brand new transceiver, some
settings may be changed from the factory defaults because
of the QC process. Resetting the CPU is necessary to start
from factory default.

➥ While pushing [SET ] and [S.MW ], push

[PWR] for 1 sec. to reset the CPU.

2. Tune the desired frequency

[DIAL] will allow you to dial in the frequency you want to op-

erate. Pages 9 and 11 will instruct you on how to set the tun­ing speed.

Using the HM-133V

You can directly enter the frequency with the HM-133V keypad.

We hope these pointers have been helpful. Now you
are ready to call CQ.

SQL

YY

D(MUTE)] to mute

audio signals.

• “MUTE” appears.

• Push [

CLR

A(MW)] (or any other key) to cancel the

function.

■ 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 ac-

tivate the squelch attenuator.

• Attenuation level can be adjusted up to 10 dB (approx.) between
12 o’clock and fully clockwise position.

• When setting the squelch from the microphone, a level greater
than ‘19’ activates the squelch attenuator.

NOTE: The squelch attenuator functions even when the
monitor function is in use. Thus set the [SQL] within 10 to
12 o’clock position (12 to 19 level when setting with the
HM-133V) is recommended when using the monitor func­tion.

q Set the operating frequency. (pgs. 9, 10)

• Select output power if desired. See section at right for details.

w Push and hold [PTT] to transmit.

•“$” appears.

• The S/RF indicator shows the output power selection.

• A one-touch PTT function is available. See p. 16 for details.

e Speak into the microphone using your normal voice level.

• DO NOT hold the microphone too close to your mouth or speak
too loudly. This may distort the signal.

r Release [PTT] to return to receive.

IMPORTANT! (for 65 W transmission):

The IC-2200H is equipped with current detector circuit to
protect the power amplifier circuit from high current flowing.
When a high SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) antenna or no
antenna is connected, or when the connected power sup­ply’s voltage includes, the transceiver reduces transmit out­put power to 10–20 W (approx.) automatically.
