A new direction in Land Mobile radios

The IC-F33G series is suitable for a variety
of needs — large or small, mobile or station­ary. Whether you are a large-scale construc­tion site, warehouse, hospital or hotel, or a
small on the go messenger service, this
radio provides the built-in flexibility to han­dle your communication needs.
Offering advanced features such as wide fre­quency range, multiple signaling and loud
audio, the IC-F33G series is a rugged and re­liable 2-way communications tool. This is
the new direction in LMR communications.

Lithium-Ion battery pack

Supplied 1150mAh Li-Ion battery pack, BP­231, provides 8/9 hours* of operating time.
For longer operating time, use the BP-232
which is rated for a full 15/16 hours*. Li-Ion
technology has virtually no memory charging
issues. A rugged dual-rail guide securely
locks the battery to the radio.

Wide frequency range and
large channel capacity

The IC-F33G series covers a wide fre­quency range in one version

MHz, UHF 400–470MHz or 450–512 (520) MHz).

The 256 memory channel capacity with 16
memory banks allows you to divide and
store a variety of flexible channel groupings.
Easy memory channel selection with a sim­ple rotation of the rotary channel knob.

Small and lightweight body

The IC-F33G series sheds size and weight
compared with previous models, weighing
just 285g*
only 53
minum die-cast chassis and polycarbonate
casing combination meets MIL standard
specifications.

Built-in multi-format tone
signaling

Use the built-in CTCSS, DTCS, 2-Tone, 5­Tone or BIIS capability to set up your own
talk groups and quiet stand-by when others
are talking. You can also set up selective
calls to individuals or control a repeater.

Multiple 2-Tone, Multiple 5-Tone

Encode or decode up to 10 2-Tone, 8 5­Tone codes on a single memory channel.
This is perfect for professionals who require
multiple district paging on one channel.
When a matched tone is received, the fol­lowing items are programmable for each
code.

• Bell icon • Answer back • Stun

• Beep sound • Auto transmit • Scan

8 programmable buttons

The [P0]–[P3], [▲], [▼], [Red] and [Monitor]
buttons are programmable to meet specific
needs. The [Red] button on the top panel
can be assigned as an emergency trigger.

Alphanumeric display

The 8-character alphanumeric display
shows channel, bank, tone code and scan­ning channel names on the display. Asepa­rate row of operational icons indicate
battery, signal strength, RX/TX and other
radio conditions.
