BASIC MANUAL

UHF CB TRANSCEIVER

i410PRO

IMPORTANT

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully before using the

IC-410PRO

uhf cb transceiver.

KEEP THIS BASIC MANUAL, as it contains important

operating information that may be useful in the future.

You can download the ADVANCED MANUAL for more
information from the Icom website.

(http://www.icom.co.jp/world/support/download/manual/index.php)

GENERAL INFORMATION

i. The use of the citizen band radio service is licenced in

Australia by the ACMA Radiocommunications (Citizens
Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand
by the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) General
User Radio Licence for Citizen Band Radio and operation
is subject to conditions contained within these licences.

ii. Always listen on a channel (or observe the channel busy

indicator) to ensure it is not already being used before
transmitting.

iii. In Australia, channel 11 is the customary calling channel

for establishing communication. Channel 40 is the
customary road vehicle channel.

iv. In Australia, except in an emergency, a CB transmitter shall

not be operated on UHF emergency channels 5 and 35.

v. No voice transmissions are permitted on data channels 22

and 23 (voice operation is inhibited on these channels).

i

vi. The user of this UHF CB communications device shall

not transmit Selcall tones for longer than 3 seconds
during any 60 second period.

vii. UHF CB repeaters extend the operational range of your

radio. Repeaters operate utilising two channels (repeater
input/repeater output). It is important to avoid operation
on locally used repeater input channels (in the channel
range of 31 to 38 and 71 to 78) or locally used repeater
output channels (in the channel range of 1 to 8 and 41 to

48), unless long distance communication via the repeater

is specically required. See the section on repeater

operation (ADVANCED MANUAL) for more information.

viii Please be aware that the UHF CB network may

experience possible operational issues during the
changeover to narrowband. This transceiver operates on

12.5 kHz channel spacing. During the changeover period
from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz spacing, there may be some

loss of quality when 12.5 kHz (narrowband, 2.5 kHz

deviation) transmissions are received on 25 kHz (wide

band, 5.0 kHz deviation) equipment, and vice-versa.
There may also be interference due to older equipment

being operated on channels adjacent to new narrowband
channels, as the channel setting on these may cause
some ‘overlap’. A list of currently authorised channels
can be found on the ACMA website (Australia) and on
the MED website in New Zealand.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

WORD DEFINITION

RDANGER!

WARNING!

R

CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.

NOTE

Personal death, serious injury or an
explosion may occur.

Personal injury, re hazard or electric

shock may occur.

If disregarded, inconvenience only. No

risk of personal injury, re or electric

shock.

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC

R

outlet. This may pose a re hazard or result in an electric

shock.

WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the transceiver

R

and microphone with wet hands. This may result in an
electric shock or damage the transceiver and microphone.

WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a

R

power source of more than 16 V DC. This could cause a re

or damage the transceiver.

WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a

R

power source using reverse polarity. This will damage the
transceiver.

WARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable between

R

the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is
made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged.

WARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where

R

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

CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver and

microphone to rain, snow or any liquids. The transceiver and

microphone may be damaged.

DO NOT push the PTT when not actually intending to

transmit.

DO NOT allow children to play with any transceiver

equipment containing a transmitter.

DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical

blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

DO NOT operate the transceiver for extended periods

without running the vehicle’s engine. The transceiver’s
power consumption may soon exhaust the vehicles battery.

DO NOT set the transceiver in a place without adequate

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

DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol to

clean the transceiver, as they will damage the transceiver’s
surfaces. If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it
clean with a soft, dry cloth.

ii

PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

Microphone

Microphone hanger

Microphone

DC power cable

Self-tapping screws

USE only Icom microphones (supplied or optional). Other

manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments
and may damage the transceiver if attached.

DO NOT modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty

does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized

modication.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in

areas with temperatures below –30°C or above +60°C.

DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty

environment.

DO NOT place the transceiver against walls or putting

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

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when

operating it continuously for long periods of time.

MAKE SURE to turn OFF the transceiver power before

connecting any supplied/optional equipment.
