Thank you for purchasing the IC-40Jr UHF C.R.S. (Citizen
Radio Service) FM transceiver. This C.R.S. FM transceiver is
designed for those who require top quality, performance and
outstanding reliability under the most demanding conditions.
IMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely
before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL– This instruc-
tion manual contains important operating instructions for
the IC-40Jr UHF C.R.S. FM transceiver.
CAUTION
R WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the an -
tenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body,
especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver
will perform best if the microphone is held 5 to 10 cm away from
your mouth and the transceiver is vertical.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below 0˚C or above +55˚C
DO NOT push the PTTwhen not actually desiring to transmit.
i
DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.
DO NOT transmit for more than 3 sec., when operating with the
group mode and/or call ring function. Transmission in a form other
than speech is limited, and should be of a duration of less than
3 sec. as a compliance to ACA requirements in Australia.
The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.
This device complies with Standard Australia
Specification No. AS/NZS4365-1996.
Adjust the antenna position as shown in
the diagram.
Keep the jack cover attached when jacks
are not in use to protect from water, dust,
etc.

pack before first operating the transceiver or when the battery pack
becomes exhausted.
If you want to be able to charge the battery pack more than 300
times, the following points should be observed:
1. Avoid overcharging. The charging period should be less than 48
hours.
2. Use the battery until it becomes almost completely exhausted
under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging just
after transmitting becomes impossible.
‘‘
Battery pack life
If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being
fully charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON all
day. Then, fully charge the battery pack again.
If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or very little), a new
battery pack must be purchased.
‘‘
Battery pack CAUTION
NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack (or charging termi-
nals of the transceiver). Also, current may flow into nearby metal
objects, so be careful when placing battery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc. Simply carrying with metal objects may
cause a short circuit. This will damage not only the battery pack but
also the transceiver.

Time-Out Timer (TOT)
The transceiver has a time-out timer function. This function prevents continuous, extended transmissions. This timer turns the
transmission OFF 3 min. after it starts.
A warning beep sounds 10 sec. before the limit is reached, and
the time-out timer turns OFF the transmission automatically. Another beep sounds to announce the end of the transmission.

Talk Range
The IC-40Jr is designed to maximize performance and improve
transmission range in the field. However, the single most important factor in transmit range is your surrounding environment.
These radios are “line of sight” radios and as such, transmission
range is influenced by the degree to which you can “see” the
other communicating party. Large concrete structures and heavy
foliage or transmission from inside a building or vehicle will reduce your talk range.
• Optimal range : wide, open areas free of obstructions.
• Medium range : large buildings or trees blocking your line of
sight.
• Minimum range : mountainous areas or areas of heavy foliage.

While receivingWhile transmitting
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. Please
ask you dealer regarding repeater availability in your local area.

The IC-40Jr is equipped with 38 group codes. Group mode operation provides communication with silent standby since you will only
receive calls from group members using the same group number.

IMPORTANT!: Before transmitting, make sure the channel you
will operate with the group mode is clear by pushing [MODE] for
1 sec., to prevent interference to other stations.
NOTE: Only stations with the same group channel number can
be heard during group mode operation, even when the busy indicator appears in the display.
GROUP MODE (CTCSS)
✔
What is CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) GROUP MODE ?
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) GROUP
MODE allows communication with silent stand by. Only signals
containing your group code 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-40Jr is equipped with 38 tone codes for CTCSS GROUP
MODE use. Selecting a code applies to all 40 operating channels.
Each push of [PTT] superimposes your group code over your
transmit signal; and, only signals containing the same code can
open your squelch. To temporarily hear all signals (including
noise) push and hold [MODE]. Do not use CTCSS GROUP
MODE if you want to be able to hear all signals on the channel.
The Smart-Ring function has an answer back feature. This allows
you to confirm whether or not a call has reached the receiving party .
