PRECAUTION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com-

pletely before using the transceiver.

SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This

instruction manual contains important operating instructions
for the IC-400PRO UHF TRANSCEIVER.

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

NOTE

Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock
may occur.

Equipment damage may occur.

If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.

than 16 V DC. This will damage 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 might be damaged.

NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of

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

NEVER allow children to play with any radio equipment

containing a transmitter.

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 damage the transceiv­er.

DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-

mit.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-

peratures below –10°C or above +60°C, or in areas subject to
direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.

AVOID operating the transceiver without running the vehi-

cle’s engine. When the transceiver’s power is ON and your
vehicle’s engine is OFF, the vehicle’s battery will soon
become exhausted.

AVOID placing the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-

ronments.

AVOID placing the transceiver against walls. This will

obstruct heat dissipation.

AVOID setting the transceiver in a place without adequate

ventilation. Heat dissipation may be affected, and the trans­ceiver may be damaged.

AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or

alcohol when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver sur­faces.

USE the specified microphone only (supplied or optional).

Other microphones have different pin assignments and may
damage the transceiver.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when

operating continuously for long periods.

This device complies with Standard
Australia Specification No. AS/NZS4365­1996 and AS4295-1995.

phone at your normal voice level.

w Release [PTT] to receive.

IMPORTANT!: To maximize the readability of your signal;

➥ After pushing [PTT], pause briefly.
➥ Hold the microphone 2 to 5 cm from your mouth, then

speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.

REPEATER OPERATION

■ Repeater operation

Repeaters allow you to extend the operational range of your
radio.

Normally, a repeater has independent frequencies for receive
and transmit.

Repeater example;

Receives the channel 31 signal and
the detected audio signals are trans­mitted on channel 1 simultaneously.

Ch 1 Ch 31

Ch 31 Ch 1

Station A:
Tx: Channel 31
Rx: Channel 1

Station B:
Tx: Channel 31
Rx: Channel 1

■ Accessing a repeater

A repeater amplifies received signals and re-transmits them
on a different channel, allowing you to communicate over
greater distances with improved reliability. When using a
repeater, the transmit channel is shifted from the receive
channel by 30 channels. You can search the accessible
repeater in your local area using the Repeater search scan
function (p. 13).

q Push []/[]to select the desired channel from 1 to 8

(repeater output channel).

w Push [DUP] (Dup/Pri) to set duplex.

• “” appears.

• The duplex setting is only available on channels 1 to 8.

e While pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the micro-

phone at your normal voice level.

• The displayed channel automatically changes to the transmit
channel (repeater input channel), and “” appears.

r Release [PTT] to receive.

■ Scanning preparation

IC-400PRO scans all tagged channels, and can be selected

Therefore, these items must be set before starting a scan
(except the repeater search scan). These items must be set
for each scan type (open, group and priority) independently.

■ Repeater search scan

The repeater search scan is not only searching for a signal
on the repeater channels, but also access a repeater by
transmitting automatically in sequence.
Thus the repeater search scan function searches an available
repeater in the area even if the repeater is not in use.

IMPORTANT!:

A microphone should be on hook to start scanning.

The repeater search scan detects a signal on the repeater

output, CH 1 to 8, only. Therefore, repeater availability can­not be guaranteed even the repeater scan is stopped,
because the scan will stop if any activity is detected. (The
scan is cancelled when receiving a signal, such as stations
communicating in simplex operation on a repeater output
channel.)

q Push [SCN] (Scan Start/Stop) for 1 sec. to enter the scan

type selection mode.

w Push []/[]to select the repeater scan.

e Push and hold [SCN] (Scan Start/Stop) to return to Normal

details.

t When receiving a signal on the repeater channel, scan

(CTCSS)

D Setting the CTCSS frequency

The IC-400PRO is equipped with 51 CTCSS frequencies for
group mode operation. The group mode operation provides
communication with silent stand-by since you will only receive
calls from group members using the same CTCSS frequency.

First of all, set the same CTCSS frequency for all group mem­ber’s transceivers.
To access the IC-40Jr or IC-4088S operating in Group mode
(including Smart-Ring function), the same CTCSS frequency
should be set. Select the CTCSS frequency matching the
group code that is set to the IC-40Jr or IC-4088S, referring to
the “Group code/frequency table” in the next page.
For example, when group code “01” is set to the IC-40Jr/IC­4088S, select “67.0” as CTCSS frequency.

NOTE: Only the stations with the same CTCSS frequency
or matching the group code can be heard in group mode
operation.

To turn ON the group mode operation:

q Push []/[]to select the desired channel.
w While in Function mode, push [O]

to enter Set mode.

• Push [O]

System) GROUP MODE ?

CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System)
GROUP MODE allows communication with silent stand by.
Only signals containing a specific CTCSS frequency can
open the squelch.
This conveniently eliminates unwanted audio and is useful
in group activities or security related activities where
unwanted output can be a problem. Note that CTCSS
group mode is not private—anyone can receive your calls.

The IC-400PRO is equipped with 51 CTCSS frequency for
CTCSS GROUP MODE use. Selecting a CTCSS frequen­cy applies it to all 40 operating channels. To temporarily
hear all signals (including noise) push and hold [MONI]. Do
not use CTCSS GROUP MODE if you want to hear signals
on all channels.

: Stands for the recommended CTCSS frequency. In

case a frequency other than at left is used, sometimes
the squelch system may not performed correctly.

SELCALL OPERATION

■ General

In addition to the group mode operation for silent stand-by,
the SelCall operation is available. SelCall is an abbreviation
for “Selective Calling”. In Group mode operation, there are 51
ways to make an individual call with CTCSS frequencies ver­sus 100,000 ways to make an individual call with Selcall using
5tone.
SelCall allows you to selectively call another unit that is oper­ating on the same channel.
SelCall can also call the entire group on that channel using
group call code.

The caller station code/name, status message, Answer Back
function, automatic scan start function, etc. are available with
SelCall operation. A variety of functions are available depend­ing on the setting with the CS-400PRO
See the help file for setting details.

The universal mounting bracket supplied with your transceiv­er allows overhead mounting.

• Mount the transceiver securely with the 4 supplied screws
to a thick surface which can support more than 1.5 kg.

■ Optional OPC-617 installation

Install the OPC-617 as shown below.

■ Antenna

A key element in the performance of any communication sys­tem is an antenna. Contact your dealer about antennas and
the best places to mount them.

■ Fuse replacement

A fuse is installed in the supplied DC power cable. If a fuse
blows or the transceiver stops functioning, track down the
source of the problem if possible, and replace the damaged
fuse with a new rated one.

❑ Fuse rating: 10 A, IC-F520/F620: 20 A

■ Cleaning

If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a
soft, dry cloth.

AVOID the use of solvents such as benzene or
alcohol, as they may damage the transceiver sur­faces.
