NOTE

Icom, Icom Inc. and the logo are registered trademarks of Icom
Incorporated (Japan) in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany,
France, Spain, Russia and/or other countries.

Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.

Equipment damage may occur.

If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fi re or electric shock.

BUSY CHANNEL

Always listen to a channel (or observe the channel busy indicator on the
display) to ensure that the channel is not already in use before transmitting.

CALLING CHANNELS (CB-11,CB-40)
In Australia channel 11 is the customary calling channel for establishing
communication and channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel.

EMERGENCY CHANNELS (CB-05, CB-R5, CB-35)
In Australia except in an emergency, a CB transmitter must not be oper­ated on UHF emergency channels 5 & 35.

NOTE: if the Radio is switched off while on an Emergency channel,

the Radio when switched on again, will be on the (software preset
channel) CB-11.

DATA CHANNELS (CB-22, CB-23)
No voice transmissions are permitted on data channels 22 and 23. (Note:
Voice operation is inhibited on channels 22 and 23).

REPEATER CHANNELS (CB-R1 to CB-R8)
UHF CB repeaters provide greater range through a base station that re­transmits the signal. Repeaters operate utilizing two channels (repeater
input/ repeater output channels). It is important to avoid operation on
locally used repeater input channels (which will be in the range channels
31 to 38) or locally used repeater receiving channels (which will be in
the range channels 1 to 8), unless long distance communication via the
repeater facility is specifi cally required. (Please also see: Repeater Op­eration, Repeater Search Scan).

CLASS LICENCE

The citizen band radio service is licensed in Australia by The ACMA Radio­communications (Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and in New
Zealand by MED General User Radio Licence for Citizens Band Radio and
operation is subject to conditions contained in those licences.

PRECAUTIONS

R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC

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

R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while

driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of

more than 27.6 V DC. This will damage the transceiver.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using

reverse polarity. This will damage the transceiver.

NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and

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

NEVER expose the transceiver and microphone to rain,

snow or any liquids. The transceiver and microphone may be
damaged.

NEVER operate or touch the transceiver and microphone

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

NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the

vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.

DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.

DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment

containing a transmitter.

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 use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or

in areas with temperatures below –10°C or above +60°C.

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 the chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol

when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s surfaces.

USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other

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

ANTENNA INFORMATION

For radio communications, the antenna is of critical im­portance, to maximize your output power and receiver
sensitivity. The transceiver accepts a 50 Ω antenna and
less than 1:1.5 of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR).
High SWR values not only may damage the transceiver
but also lead to TVI or BCI problems.

■ Repeater search scan

The repeater search scan not only searches for a signal on
the repeater channels, but also access a repeater by trans­mitting automatically in sequence.
Thus the repeater search scan function searches for available
repeater in the area even if the repeater is not currently in use.

The repeater search scan detects a signal on the re-

peater 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.)

■ 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 5-tone.
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, Answer Back function, etc. are
available with SelCall operation. A variety of functions are
available depending on the setting with the CS-440

SOFTWARE. See the help fi le 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

■ Troubleshooting

If your transceiver seems to be malfunctioning, please check the following points before sending it to a service center.

10

PROBLEM

The transceiver’s power
will not turn ON.

No sound comes from the
speaker.

Sensitivity is low and only
strong signals are audible.

No contact possible with
another station.

Frequency cannot be set.

Scan does not operate.

Transmission is automati­cally cut off.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Power connector has a poor contact.

• Polarity of the power connection is reversed.

• Blown fuse.

• Volume is too low.

• The volume level is set to 0 (audio muting).

• Squelch is set too high.

• A selective call or squelch function is activated
such as pocket beep or tone squelch.

• Antenna feedline or the antenna connector has a
poor contact or is short circuited.

• The other station is using tone squelch.

• The lock function is activated.

• Priority scan is paused on the watching fre­quency.

• The channel selection mode is not set.

• The squelch is open.

• Priority scan is activated.

• Time-out timer function is activated.

SOLUTION

• Check the connector pins.

• Re-connect the power cable observing the proper
polarity.

• Check the cause, then replace the fuse.

• Push

• Push .

• Set the squelch level to the threshold.

• Turn the appropriate function OFF.
