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.
■ Accessing a repeater
A repeater amplifies received signals and re-transmits them
on a different frequency, allowing you to communicate over
greater distances with improved reliability. When using a
repeater, the repeater output channel (‘CB-R1’ to ‘CB-R8’)
must be selected.
You can search the accessible repeater in your local area
using the Repeater search scan function (p. 21).
q Select the desired repeater output channel (‘CB-R1’ to
‘CB-R8’). (p. 11)

SCAN OPERATION
■ Scanning preparation
IC-41S scans all tagged channels, and can be selected so
the scan resume condition is a pause or timer scan.
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.
DScan type selection
➥ Push (Scan Mode) several times to select the desired
scan type.
• Open, group and priority scans are available.
• “OPEN”, “GROUP” or “PRIO” is displayed for 1 sec. when each
scan type is selected.
DTag channel setting
q Select the desired scan type. (See at left.)
w Select the desired channel. (p. 11)
e Push and hold
(Scan Tag) for 2 sec. to toggle the tag
channel setting ON and OFF.
• “S” appears when the tag setting is ON (The channel is set as a
scan channel).
To speed up scanning:
For open scan, cancel the tag channel setting to skip undesired channels such as usually busy channels.
For group scan, set only often-used channels as tag channels.
All memory channels may be set as tag channels by
default.

■ 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.
The repeater search scan detects a signal on the repeater
output channels (CB-R1 to CB-R8) 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 Select the desired repeater output channel (‘CB-R1’ to
‘CB-R8’), and push and hold
(Rpt Scan) for 2 sec. to

■ General
In addition to the tone squelch operation for silent stand-by,
the SelCall operation is available. SelCall is an abbreviation
for “Selective Calling.” In tone squelch operation, there are
155 ways to make an individual call with CTCSS tone frequencies/DTCS codes 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
tone squelch 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-41S
CLONING SOFTWARE
. See
the help file for setting details.
NOTE:
• Channels 5 and 35 are used for the emergency channels,
and SelCall operation is not available on these channels.
• SelCall transmission is restricted for total of 3 sec. in a
minute. If your try to transmit over 3 sec., “N/A” appears
(when
(Call) is pushed,) or error beep is emitted
(when [PTT] is pushed.)
■ Calling operation
DTX code channel selection
(TX Code CH) enables you to change the TX code chan-
nel with [CH Up] or [CH Down].
TX code means the Transmitting SelCall code. Max. 32 TX

■ Caution
R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery
packs with Icom radios or Icom charger. Only Icom battery
packs are tested and approved for use and charge with Icom
radios or Icom charger. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or charger may cause smoke, fire, or cause the
battery to burst.
DD
Battery caution
R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the bat-
tery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted or
dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on the outside of the
case. Even if the surface of the battery does not show cracks
or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may rupture
or catch fire.
R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas
with temperatures above +60˚C. High temperature buildup in
the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a
sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to
rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also
degrade battery performance or shorten battery life.
R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, sea-
water, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before
using. The battery is not waterproof.
R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since
internal battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may cause
an explosion.
R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals or NEVER
modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and
the battery may rupture, emit smoke or catch fire.
R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for
which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other
equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this
instruction manual.
R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes,
blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.
Misuse of Lithium-Ion batteries may result in the following hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture.
Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery performance.

BATTERY CHARGING
WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an
abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any
of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distributor.
WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of
the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the battery.
WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven,
high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker.
This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to
rupture.
CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specified temperature range for the transceiver (–30˚C to +60˚C) and the
battery itself (–20˚C to +60˚C). Using the battery out of its
specified temperature range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life.
CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left
fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above +45˚C) for an extended period
of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it
must be detached from the radio after discharging. You may
use the battery until the battery capacity becomes about half,
then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature
between –20˚C to +25˚C.
DD
Charging caution
R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with
extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves,
inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate,
causing the battery to stop charging.
WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the battery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the battery is not completely charged by the specified time, stop
charging and remove the battery from the battery charger.
Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specified time
limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rupture.
WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery attached
to the transceiver) into the charger if it is wet or soiled. This
could corrode the battery charger terminals or damage the
charger. The charger is not waterproof.
CAUTION! DO NOT charge the battery outside of the specified temperature range: BC-160 (0˚C to +45˚C). Icom recommends charging the battery at +20˚C. The battery may heat
up or rupture if charged out of the specified temperature
range. Additionally, battery performance or battery life may be
reduced.
