FOREWORD

Thank you for purchasing the IC-F31GT/GS, IC-F41GT/GS FM
transceiver.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using
the transceiver.

SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL–This instruction manual
contains important operating instructions for the transceiver.

ABOUT CE

CE Versions of the IC-F31GT/GS, IC­F41GT/GS which display the “CE” symbol on
the serial number seal, comply with the es­sential requirements of the European Radio
and Telecommunication Terminal Directive

1999/5/EC.
This warning symbol indicates that this equipment operates in non­harmonised frequency bands and/or may be subject to licensing
conditions in the country of use. Be sure to check that you have the
correct version of this radio or the correct programming of this radio,
to comply with national licensing requirements.

INSTALLATION NOTES

• When transmitting with a portable radio, hold the radio in a vertical

position with its microphone 5 to 10 centimeters away from your
mouth. Keep the antenna at least 2.5 centimeters from your head
and body.

• If you wear a portable two-way radio on your body, ensure that the

antenna is at least 2.5 centimeters from your body when transmit­ting.

i

IMPORTANT

R CAUTION! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna 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 CAUTION! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or
other audio accessories at high volume levels.

R CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack.
DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.
AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas

with temperatures below –10°C or above +50°C.
The basic operations, transmission and reception of the transceiver,

are guaranteed within the specified operating temperature range
(depending on version). However, the LCD display may be operate
correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of opera­tion, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.

DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.
KEEP the transceiver from the heavy rain, and Never immerse it in

the water. The transceiver construction is water resistant, not wa­terproof.

The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver
performance and invalidate the warranty.

Battery cautions

• CAUTION! NEVER short terminals (or charging terminals) of the
battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects
such as a necklace, so be careful when placing 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 ter-
minals once a week.

If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being
charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON
overnight. 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. (p. 9)

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

144 for rapid charging, BC-137 #11/BC-146 for regular charging)only.

NEVER use other manufacturers’ chargers.

The optional BP-209 or BP-210 battery packs include rechargeable
Ni-Cd (Ni-MH: BP-210) 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 over charging. The charging period should be less than
48 hours.

• Use the battery until it becomes almost completely exhausted
under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging after
transmitting becomes impossible.

DD

Battery pack life

When the operating period becomes extremely short even after
charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is needed.

CAUTIONS

• Use ALKALINE batteries only.

• Make sure all battery cells are the same brand, type and ca-
pacity.

• Never mix old and new batteries.

Either of the above may cause a fire hazard or damage the
transceiver if ignored.

• Never incinerate used battery cells since internal battery gas
may cause them to rupture.

• Never expose a detached battery case to water.
If the battery case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before use.

PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS

‘‘

General

In the following explanations, programmable function names are
bracketed, the specific switch used to activate the function depends
on programming.

DD

KEYPAD LOCK FUNCTION

This function locks access to all programmable switches (except
the switch assigned for the lock function).

Push and hold the [Lock] switch for 1 sec. to toggle the lock function
ON and OFF.

• “ ”appears while the lock function is ON.

• This function may be inhibited on some channels.

DD

PRIORITY CHANNEL

This function is used to select a pre-programmed channel at the
push of a switch.

Push the [Priority A/A(Rewrite)/B] switch to select the priority chan­nel.

• “PrioA” or “Prio B” appears briefly, then the priority channel is auto­matically selected.

DD

SCAN FUNCTION

The scan function allows you to search a pre-programmed group
of channels for signals.

Push the [Scan A/B] switch to start/stop scan.

• Scan pauses on a channel when receiving a signal.

• Depending on programming, a message may appear while scanning.

• “Lockout SCAN” (pre-programmed list SCAN) or “Priority SCAN” can
be pre-programmed.

• When the “Power-save function” is activated, the transceiver checks
all pre-programmed channels then returns to the “Power-save func­tion” again.

12

PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS

All signals are received.

Only signals containing the
proper tone are received.

DD

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:

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 (Audi)], switch to
select the audible condition.

Any audio mute functions are cancelled
while pushing the [Moni (Audi)] 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 (Audi)], switch momentar­ily to select the inaudible condition.

DD

TALK AROUND

The talk around function changes duplex channels to simplex chan­nels.

• Duplex allows you to contact your base station, repeaters, etc.

• Simplex allows you to contact other portable transceivers directly

(portable-to-portable contact).

Push the [Talk Around] switch to toggle the function ON and OFF.

Automatic pre-programmed transmission:

q Push the [DTMF Autodial] switch to select DTMF autodial mode,

then push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select the desired channel.

w Push the [DTMF Autodial] switch to send a DTMF code.

DD

DTMF RE-DIAL FUNCTION

This function allows you to transmit the last-used DTMF code at the
push of a key.

Push the [Re-dial] switch momentarily to activate the function.

• The previously transmitted DTMF code is automatically transmitted.

• If no code has been transmitted since turning the power ON, this func­tion does not activate.

DD

EMERGENCY FUNCTION

The emergency function allows you to send an emergency signal
quickly and easily to your Base Station, etc. in case of emergency.

Push and hold the [Emergency Single/Repeat] switch for 1 sec. to
activate the emergency function.

• The transceiver selects a pre-programmed channel, then sends an
emergency signal to your Base Station.

• The pre-programmed channel remains selected until a control signal is
received from the Base Station, or power is turned OFF.

• The emergency call is repeatedly transmitted at pre-programmed in­tervals.
