UHF C.R.S. FM TRANSCEIVER
FOREWORD
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.

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 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.

includes rechargeable Ni-Cd
