FEATURES
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely
before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This in-
struction manual contains important operating instructions for
the IC-A210E.
❍ Large, bright OLED display
A fixed mount VHF airband first! The IC-A210E has an organic light
emitting diode (OLED) display. All man-made lighting emits its own
light and display offers many advantages in brightness, not brightness, vividness, high contrast, wide viewing angle and response time
compared to a conventional display. In addition, the auto dimmer
function adjusts the display for optimum brightness at day or night.
❍ Easy channel selection
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
The explicit definitions below apply to this instruction manual.

Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock
may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.
DEFINITION
It’s fast and easy to select any of memory channels in the IC-A210E.
The “flip-flop” arrow button switches between active and standby
channels. The dualwatch function allows you to monitor two channels
simultaneously. In addition, the history memory channel stores the
last 10 channels used and allows you to recall those channels easily.
❍ GPS memory function
When connected to an external GPS receiver* equipped with an airport frequency database, the IC-A210E will instantly tune in the local
airport frequency as you fly into its airspace.
*Ask your dealer for available GPS receiver details.
❍ 13.8 V/27.5 V DC power source
The built-in DC-DC converter accepts a 13.8/27.5 V DC power
source. The IC-A210E is easily installed in most airplanes or vehicles.
❍ Intercom function
The IC-A210E has a built-in voice activated intercom function allowing the pilot to talk with a co-pilot via headset. The IC-A210E has adjustable audio level and squelch control functions.

PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the
volume level or discontinue use.
NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a
power source of more than 28 V DC. Such a connection will
damage the transceiver.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is
DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will
be protected by this fuse, higher fuse values will not give any
protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be
ruined.
DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical
blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT connect the transceiver to a power source using
reverse polarity. This connection will not only blow fuses but
also may damage the transceiver.
DO NOT place unit in a non-secure place to avoid inad-
vertent use by children.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to trans-
mit.
DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or
in areas with temperatures below –20°C or above +55°C.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. This will ob-
struct heat dissipation.
DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods.
The antenna should also be spaced at least 1 m from any position occupied by any person on board of the aircraft.

■ Frequency selection
IC-A210E has 2 ways to select the desired frequency.
ï General frequency selection
Select the desired frequency which is used for the next operating frequency in the standby frequency indicator. Then exchange the active frequency for the standby frequency.
NOTE: Operate from “Standby frequency selection
(Step 1-2)” to “Frequency exchanging (Step 2-2)” as pgs. 5–6.
ï Direct frequency selection
The desired frequency direct selection is available.
Refer to “Direct frequency selection mode operation.”
TIP: For quick frequency setting, often used frequencies
can be programmed into memory channels. Refer to “MEMORY OPERATION” (pgs. 9–17).
When a memory channel is recalled, the previous standby
frequency is erased.

■ Frequency exchanging/
not exchanging (Step 2-2)
q After selecting the standby frequency, push [↔] to ex-
change the standby frequency with the active frequency.
NOTE: DO NOT push and hold [↔] continuously. Oth-
erwise the standby frequency disappears. If this happens,
again push and hold [↔] until the standby frequency reappears.
•Rotate [VOL] to set the volume level, if necessary.
• When receiving a signal, “RX” appears and audio is emitted from
the speaker or headset.
•Further adjustment of audio level may be necessary at this point.
•Adjust the squelch level in the menu mode, if necessary (p. 22).
w Push and hold [PTT] to transmit, then speak into the mi-
crophone.
•Transmit indicator “TX” lights.
e Release [PTT] to receive.
Frequency exchanging can be also performed remotely from
the yoke-mounted frequency exchange switch.
TIP: The intercom function is useful for swift communica-
tion between the pilot and co-pilot.
Set the communication/intercom switch on the VHF control
panel to the “intercom” position. Voice signals from the microphone are sent to both the pilot and co-pilot’s headsets.

■ Receiving
q Select an operating frequency.
• Refer to pgs. 5–6 in details.
• “RX” appears when receiving a signal or opening squelch.
w Push [VOL] to open the squelch manually.
• Refer to p. 19 “Squelch test function” in details.
e Rotate the volume control to adjust the audio level.
■ Transmitting
NOTE: To prevent interference, listen on the frequency be-
fore transmitting. If the frequency is busy, wait until the frequency is clear.
q Select the yoke-mounted communication/intercom switch
to the “communication” position.
w Select an operating frequency.
• Refer to pgs. 5–6 in details.
e Push the PTT switch.
• “TX” appears.
r Speak into the microphone at your normal voice level.
• DO NOT set the microphone too closely to your mouth or speak
too loudly. This may distort the signal.
t Release the PTT switch to receive.

■ Direct frequency setting
mode operation
The direct frequency setting mode operation is useful when
setting the desired frequency directly to the active frequency
indicator.
q Push and hold [↔] for 2 sec. to enter the direct frequency
setting mode.
• The only active frequency is displayed.
w Select an operating frequency.
• Refer to pgs. 5–6 in details.
e Push [RCL] or [↔] to exit the direct frequency setting
mode.
■ Dualwatch operation
The dualwatch operation monitors the active frequency in intervals even when receiving a signal on the standby frequency. When a signal is received on the active frequency,
the radio switches to the active frequency and stays on the
frequency until the signal disappears irrespective of the
standby frequency condition.
q Push [DUAL] to enter dualwatch operation.
• “DUAL” appears on the active frequency indicator.
• The active or standby frequency‘s “RX”blinks when receiving signal or opening the squelch.
w Push [DUAL] again to exit dualwatch operation.
• “DUAL” disappears.
• You may also exit dualwatch by pushing [PTT].
ATTENTION!
During dualwatch operation, the standby frequency’s AF
may be interrupted at constant intervals, but this is not a
malfunction.

■ Programming notes
ï Blank channel
A memory or group channel with no frequency content is
called as a blank channel. When a blank channel is selected
while memory programming, “–––––” appears instead of a
frequency.

The function can be set in the MENU mode.
■ Entering memory mode
• Push [RCL] to enter the memory mode.
• Push [RCL] to set the selected memory channel frequency
to the standby frequency, then exit the memory mode.
• Push and hold [RCL] for 2 sec. to exit the memory mode
(The standby frequency is set the frequency before entering the memory mode ).
■ Memory channel type

There are up to 200 group channels (10 CH × 20 Groups).
The following functions are available:
REPLACE, DELETE, REVIVE, GROUP NAME EDIT and
CHANNEL TAG functions.
ï History memory channel (HISTORY)
There are up to 10 available history memory channels.
The active frequency is written into history memory channels
automatically when pushing [↔] to exchange the active and
standby frequency.
ï GPS memory channel (GPS)
There are up to 10 available GPS memory channels.
When connected to an external GPS receiver* equipped with
an airport frequency database, the frequency data such as
nearby airports can be transferred into GPS memory channels .
