IMPORTANT

OPERATIONAL NOTES

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully before

using the IC-450 UHF TRANSCEIVER.

KEEP THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL, as it

contains important operating information that may be useful in the future.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

WORD DEFINITION

RDANGER!

RWARNING!

CAUTION

NOTE

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

Personal death, serious injury or an explosion may occur.

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.

i. The use of the citizen band radio service is licenced in

Australia by the ACMA Radiocommunications (Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand by the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) General User Radio Licence for Citizen Band Radio and operation is subject to conditions contained within these licences.

ii. Always listen on a channel (or observe the channel busy

indicator) to ensure it is not already being used before transmitting.

iii. In Australia, channel 11 is the customary calling channel

for establishing communication. Channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel.

iv.

In Australia, except in an emergency, a CB transmitter shall not be operated on UHF emergency channels 5 and

35.

v. No voice transmissions are permitted on data channels

22 and 23 (voice operation is inhibited on these channels).

vi. The user of this UHF CB communications device shall

not transmit Selcall tones for longer than 3 seconds during any 60 second period.

OPERATIONAL NOTES

PRECAUTIONS

vii. UHF CB repeaters extend the operational range of

your radio. Repeaters operate utilising two channels (repeater input/repeater output). It is important to avoid operation on locally used repeater input channels (in the channel range of 31 to 38 and 71 to 78) or locally used repeater output channels (in the channel range of 1 to 8 and 41 to 48), unless long distance communication via the repeater is speciﬁcally required. See the section on repeater operation for more information.

viii. Please be aware that the UHF CB network may

experience possible operational issues during the changeover to narrowband. This transceiver operates on 12.5 kHz channel spacing. During the changeover period from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz spacing, there may be some loss of quality when 12.5 kHz (narrowband, 2.5 kHz deviation) transmissions are received on 25 kHz (wide band, 5.0 kHz deviation) equipment, and viceversa. There may also be interference due to older equipment being operated on channels adjacent to new narrowband channels, as the channel setting on these may cause some ‘overlap’. A list of currently authorised channels can be found on the ACMA website (Australia) and on the MED website in New Zealand.

R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during

a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a ﬁre or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power source and antenna before a storm.

R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an

AC outlet. This may pose a ﬁre hazard or result in an electric shock.

R WARNING! NEVER operate or touch the

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

R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a

power source of more than 27.6 V DC. This will damage the transceiver.

R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a

power source using reverse polarity. This will damage the transceiver.

R WARNING! 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.

R WARNING! NEVE R place the transceiver where

normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.

PRECAUTIONS

(Continued)

CAUTION: DO NOT expose the transceiver and

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

DO NOT push the PTT when not actually intending to transmit. DO NOT allow children to play with any transceiver

equipment containing a transmitter.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight

or in areas with temperatures below –10°C or above +60°C. The basic operations, transmission and reception of the transceiver are guaranteed within the speciﬁed operating temperature range. However, the LCD display may not operate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of operation, or after being placed in extremely hot or cold areas.

DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded

electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when

operating it continuously for long periods of time.

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 set the transceiver in a place without adequate

ventilation. Heat dissipation may be affected, and the transceiver may be damaged.

DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or

alcohol to clean the transceiver, as they will damage the transceiver’s surfaces. If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.

DO NOT modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty

does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modiﬁcation.

iii

MAKE SURE to turn OFF the transceiver power before

connecting any supplied/optional equipment.

USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other

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

This device complies with Standard

Australia Speciﬁcation No. AS/NZS 4365-

2011.

Icom is not responsible for the destruction or damage to the Icom transceiver, if the malfunction is because of:

• Force majeure, including, but not limited to, ﬁres,earthquakes, storms, ﬂoods, lightnings, or other naturaldisasters, disturbances, riots, war, or radioactive-contamination.

• The use of Icom transceiver with any equipment that is not manufactured or approved by Icom.

REPEATER OPERATION

■ Repeater operation

Repeaters extend the operational range of the transceiver by retransmitting the received signals. They are usually located on the top of a building or a mountain, as the elevation increases their effectiveness, allowing the user to transmit and receive over greater distances. During a standard operation, or simplex, transceivers transmit and receive on the same frequency. When operating in the Duplex mode (example: accessing a repeater), the transceiver will transmit and receive on different frequencies. It automatically does this when one of the repeater channels is selected.

D Accessing a repeater

A repeater ampliﬁes received signals, and retransmits them on a different frequency, allowing you to communicate over greater distances with improved reliability. To use a repeater, a repeater channel must be selected (Repeater CH 1 to 8, and 41 to 48). You can search the accessible repeater in your local area using the Repeater search scan function. (p. 25)

■ Repeater search scan

The Repeater search scan is used not only to search for a signal on the repeater channels, but also to access a repeater by automatically transmitting in sequence. The Repeater search function detects repeaters that can be accessed in the area, even if the repeater is not used.

The Repeater search scan detects signals only on the Channels 1 to 8* and 41 to 48. Therefore, the repeater cannot be guaranteed even though the Repeater scan is stopped, because the scan will stop if any activity is detected. (The scan is cancelled while receiving a signal, such as stations communicating in Simplex operation on a repeater output channel.)
