IMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely
before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL— This instruc-
tion manual contains important operating instructions for
the IC-F22SR PMR446 FM transceiver.
CAUTIONS
R WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the an-
tenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body,
especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver
will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm away from the
lips and the transceiver is vertical.
R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C. In an
extreme low temperature environment (around –25°C), the capacity of Alkaline or dry cell batteries may exhaust quickly. In
such case, we recommend to replace the batteries, when the
“Low Battery” warning appears during transmission.
The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver performance and invalidate the warranty.

Battery cautions
• CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack (or
charging terminals of the transceiver). Also, current may flow into
nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so be careful when plac-
ing battery packs (or the transceiver) in handbags, etc.
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as a necklace, etc. causes shorting. This will damage not only the battery
pack, but also the transceiver.
• NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may
cause an explosion.
• NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack be-
comes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the
transceiver.
• Clean the battery terminals to avoid rust or miss contact.
• Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean battery terminals once a week.
If your Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery pack seems to have no capacity
even after being charged, completely discharge it, then fully charge
the battery pack again. If the battery pack still does not retain a
charge (or only very little charge), a new battery pack must be purchased.

Charging NOTE
Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must
be fully charged for optimum life and operation.
• Recommended temperature range for charging:
+10°C to +40°C.
• Use the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-119N/BC121N/BC-144N for rapid charging, BC-146 for regular charging)
only. NEVER use other manufacturers’ chargers.
The optional BP-209N, BP-210N, BP-211N or BP-222N battery
packs include rechargeable Ni-Cd (Ni-MH: BP-210N, Li-Ion: BP211N) batteries and can be charged approx. 300 times. Charge the
battery pack before first operating the transceiver or when the battery pack becomes exhausted.
If you want to charge the battery pack more than 300 times, the following points should be observed:
• Avoid overcharging— Batteries must be removed from the
charger to stop charging. Batteries should not be charged for
more than 24 hours.
• Use the battery until it becomes almost completely exhausted
under normal conditions.
DD
Battery pack life
When the operating period becomes extremely short even after
charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is needed.
NOTE for the rapid chargers : The charger rapidly charges a
battery pack to a specified level, not a completed level, to prevent
overcharging. Leave the battery pack in the charger for a few
more hours (up to 15 hours; depending on battery condition) after
the LED indicator turns green, to charge the battery completely.

Monitor audible function
The monitor function allows you to open the transceiver’s squelch
manually to check whether a channel is busy or not. The transceiver has 2 conditions for receive standby:
OTHER FUNCTIONS
Audible condition:
This condition mutes audio ONLY when
no carrier is present. You can receive (or
monitor) any signals on a channel.
• Push and hold the [MONI] switch to cancel the CTCSS or DTCS tone squelch
function.
Any audio mute functions are cancelled
while pushing the [MONI] switch.
Inaudible condition:
This condition mutes ALL signals except
those directed to you. Therefore you
should check a channel’s condition (busy
or not) with the monitor function before
transmitting.
• Push the [MONI] switch momentarily to
select the inaudible condition.
‘‘
Time-Out Timer
The transceiver has time-out timer function. This function prevents
continuous, extend transmissions. This timer automatically turns a
transmission OFF 3 min. after it starts.
A warning beep emits 10 sec. before the limit is reached.
The end beep emits 5 times to announce the end of the transmission.

✔ What is squelch?
A squelch circuit allows you to mute undesired noise while receiving no signal and emit audio while receiving signals.
This provides quiet standby. The [MONI] key cancels the
squelch setting. This is useful to listen to weak signals that
do not open the squelch.
✔ Talk Range
The IC-F22SR is designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field. However, the single
most important factor in transmit range (talk power) is your
surrounding environment. These radios are “line of sight” radios and as such, transmission range is influenced by the degree to which you can “see” the other communicating party.
Large concrete structures and heavy foliage or transmission
from inside a building or vehicle will reduce your talk power.
• Optimal range : Wide, open areas free of obstructions.
• Medium range : Large buildings or trees blocking your line
• Minimum range : Mountainous areas or areas of heavy fo-

GLOSSARY
✔ What is CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch Sys-
tem) ?
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) allows
communication with silent stand by. Only signals containing
your group code can open the squelch.
This conveniently eliminates unwanted audio and is useful in
group activities or security related activities where unwanted
output can be a problem. Note that CTCSS group mode is not
private—anyone can receive your calls.
The IC-F22SR is equipped with max. 52 tone codes for CTCSS
use. Selecting a code applies it to all 8 operating channels.
Each push of [PTT] superimposes your group code over your
transmit signal; and, only signals containing the same code can
open your squelch. To temporarily hear all signals (including
noise) push and hold [MONI]. Do not use CTCSS if you want to
be able to hear signals on all channels.
✔ Auto Scan function + Smart-Ring
The Auto Scan function searches for signals automatically
and makes it easier to locate new stations for contact or listening purposes. BUT because the Auto Scan function
checks each operating channel for only a few moments, the
transceiver's response accuracy to Smart-Ring calls is reduced. Use one of CH 1–15 when you and your group are
going to use the Smart-Ring function, otherwise the SmartRing function may fail to answer-back the call.
