The password is a 4 digit code (example: 1234).
➥ Push the corresponding keys to enter your password.
• Note that each key represents two digits. That means,
“3764” and “8769” are entered in exactly the same way
(requires no multiple or extended pushing.)
• The entered password will not be displayed.
• If “PASSWD” does not disappear after entering, the
entered password is incorrect. Turn OFF the transceiver,
and then try again.

Keylock
Hold down for 2 seconds to electronically lock
[ROTARY SELECTOR] and all keys except [PTT],
[Side 1], [TOP], (When in the Function mode) and
to prevent accidental channel changing or function
access.
To lock the keys:
➥ Hold down for 2 seconds to lock.
• “ ” is displayed.
To unlock the keys:
➥ Hold down for 2 seconds again to unlock.
• “ ” disappears.
D Non-locked keys
Even when the Keylock function is ON, you can use
the following keys for certain conditions.
[PTT]: You can hold down to transmit, and release to
receive.
[Side 1]: You can push to turn the Monitor function ON
or OFF.
[TOP]: You can push to change between Normal
mode and Function mode.
: In the Function mode, you can hold down for
2 seconds to transmit the selected Selcall
code, when a CB channel is selected.
: You can hold down for 2 seconds to turn OFF
the Keylock function.
Channel selection
There are 80 UHF CB channels and you have access
to all 80 channels, including designated repeater channels. You can select between them to communicate with
a specific person(s). The IC-41PRO is also capable of
being set with an additional 35 receive only channels,
using the optional cs-41PrO clOning sOftware.
➥ Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR] to scroll through the
selectable channels.

BASIC OPERATION

Zone selection
(
Selectable only when more than 2 zones are set, using the
optional CS-41PRO clOning sOftware)
A zone enables you to allocate several channels into
a logical group. This is useful if you want to simplify
communications, particularly in commercial or convoy
applications, or if you want to separate out the receive
only channels to be scanned separately from CB
channels.
q Push [TOP] to enter the Function mode.
w Hold down
selection mode.
e Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR] to select the desired
zone, and then push to set.
NOTE:
• The transceiver remains in the selected mode when
turned OFF and then ON again.
• CB-05, CB-R05 and CB-35 channels are for emergency
use, and are required to be left open for only emergency
use. CB-22 and CB-23 are used for only receiving.
for 2 seconds to enter the zone
Priority channel
The Priority channel enables you to have quick access
to a specific channel. Only one channel can be set as
the Priority channel. “P” is displayed when the Priority
channel is set.
Monitor
The Monitor function opens the Squelch or Tone
squelch, enabling you to receive weak signals. This
enables quick access to the open squelch setting.
➥ To turn the Monitor function ON or OFF, push [Side 1].
• “ MONI ON” or “MONI OF” is displayed when the function
is turned ON or OFF.
Squelch
In order to clearly receive signals, set the squelch
level to suit your environment. This eliminates
background noise when there are no signals preset.
A higher level is better for inner cities or noisy areas,
and a lower level is more beneficial in quiet, rural or
country areas.
Setting the squelch level:
q Push [Side 2] to enter the squelch setting mode.
w Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR] to set the squelch
level to between 0 and 9.
• 0= lowest squelch level, 9= highest squelch level
e Push [Side 2] to set the selected squelch level and
exit the setting mode.
Information
You can also set the squelch level in the Set mode.
See page 5 for details.
D Setting the Priority channel
q Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR] to select a desired
channel.
w Hold down for 2 seconds to set the selected
channel as the Priority Channel.
• “P” is displayed.
D Switching to the Priority channel
➥ Push to switch from a displayed channel to the
Priority channel. “N/A” is displayed when the Priority
channel is not set.
D Cancelling the Priority channel
➥ Push [TOP] to enter the Function mode, and then
hold down for 2 seconds to cancel the Priority
channel setting.
• “P” disappears.

SET MODE
In the Set mode, you can change various transceiver
settings to suit your operating requirements.
q Hold down [TOP] for 2 seconds to enter the Set
mode.
• If no key is pushed for 30 seconds, the transceiver will
return to the normal mode.
w Push [Side 1] or [Side 2] to select an item.
• You can also select an item by pushing [TOP].
e Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR] to select an option in
the selected item.
r Hold down [TOP] for 2 seconds to set and exit the
Set mode, or simply turn OFF the transceiver.

VOX Delay is the period of time between when you
stop speaking and the transceiver stops transmitting
and then returns to receive. Set it to between 0.5 and
3.0 seconds.
NOTE:
If you set the time too short, a pause in speaking
will be regarded as the end of your conversation
and the transceiver will return to receive, even if you
continue speaking.
