BASIC OPERATION

Call procedure

When your system uses tone signaling (except

CTCSS and DTCS), a call procedure may be

necessary prior to voice transmission. The tone

signaling employed may be a selective calling system,
which enables you to call only specic stations, and

prevents unwanted stations from contacting you.

1. Select a channel according to your system

operator’s instructions.

• This may not be necessary, depending on the
presetting.

• Refer to page 3-4 for details.

2. Push [Call].

3. After transmitting, the remainder of your
communication can be carried out in the normal
way.

Selective calling

The illustration is of the Ten-key type transceivers.

Non-selective calling

BASIC OPERATION

Receiving and transmitting

CAUTION: DO NOT transmit without an antenna. It

may damage the transceiver. See pages 1-3 and 2-6
for accessory attachments.

Receiving:

1. Turn ON the transceiver. (p. 3-2)

2. Select a channel. (p. 3-4)

3. When receiving a call, rotate [VOL] to adjust the
audio output level to a comfortable listening level.

NOTE: Depending on the presetting, the transceiver

may automatically transmit the microphone audio
for the preset time period when a matching signal is
received. (Auto TX function)

Transmitting:

Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid
interference.

1. While holding down [PTT], speak at your normal
voice level.

• To transmit a tone frequency (2-Tone) push [Call].

2. Release [PTT] to return to receive.

D Transmitting notes

Transmit inhibit function

The transceiver has several inhibit functions which
restrict transmission under the following conditions:

• The channel is in the Inaudible mode (“ ”: Audible
icon does not appear.)

• The channel is busy. However, depending on the
presetting, you can transmit when a call is received

that includes a non-matching (or matching) CTCSS

(DTCS), NAC (Network Access Code), Individual ID,
or Group ID.

• The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.

Time-Out timer

If continuous transmission exceeds the preset Time-

Out Timer time, the transmission is cut off.

Penalty timer

After the transmission is cut off by the Time-Out Timer,

transmission is further inhibited for a preset penalty
period of timer.

IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your
signal.

1. Pause briefl y after pushing [PTT].

2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches)

from your mouth, then speak at your normal voice

level.

ADVANCED OPERATION

Emergency call

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that the dealer sets

an Emergency channel in each zone, to provide a
reliable Emergency call operation.

NOTE: Depending on the presetting, the following
functions may be automatically activated.

Auto TX function

After an Emergency call transmission, the
transceiver transmits the microphone audio for a
preset period of time.

Auto RX function

After an Emergency call transmission, the
transceiver stands by in the Audible mode for a
preset period of time.

TIP: A user can transmit the Emergency call in the
2-Tone, APCO P25, or MDC 1200 signaling system.

D Transmitting an Emergency call

When the transceiver enters the Emergency mode, a
countdown starts. The transceiver counts down during
the Reminder Timer set time.
Before the Reminder Timer set time expires, the
transceiver transmits an Emergency call once, or

repeatedly*, on the specied Emergency channel.
If no Emergency channel is specied, the Emergency

call is made on the previously selected channel.

* Depending on the presetting.

L The transceiver automatically transmits a repeat

Emergency call until the [Back] key is pushed, it
receives an acknowledgement, or until a user turns
OFF the transceiver.

L If the transceiver is set for Silent operation, it

transmits an Emergency call without a beep
sounding or the status indicator lighting.

The transceiver enters the Emergency mode through
the following functions:

• The [Emergency] key
When a user holds down [Emergency] for the Emer
SW ON Timer preset time.
L If a user holds down [Emergency] for the Emer SW

OFF Timer set time before the Reminder Timer set
time expires, the Emergency mode is canceled.

APCO P25 MODE OPERATION

General

APCO Project-25 (P25) is designed for public safety
digital radio, and allows you to make a call to a

specic station (Individual call) or to a particular group

(Talkgroup call) in the Conventional mode.
Other P25 transceivers on the channel will not listen in

on a call that does not match their Individual/Talkgroup
group ID or Network Access Code (NAC).

Moreover, the following functions and calls are
available: Call Alert function, Radio Inhibit/Uninhibit
function, Remote Monitor function, Radio Check
function, Status Message, Short Message, Status
Query, Phone Call and Emergency Call function.
NAC matching is not necessary for the above
functions and calls.

Each transceiver has a unique ID, and it allows
to be substituted with an alphanumeric name, if
programmed.
You can use this ID (or name) to select a target station
to call, and the ID (or name) of the target station is
displayed after receiving a call.

MDC 1200 SYSTEM OPERATION

General

This function is usable in only the Analog mode.
The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your

transceiver’s capabilities. You can receive or transmit
PTT IDs, Emergency, Selective Call (SelCall), Call
Alert, Radio Check, Stun, Revive, Status, and
Message calls.

Set one of the assignable software key functions for
the MDC 1200 system operations. (pp. 2-12 ~ 2-21)

NOTE: Set the related settings using the CS-F7500

programming software when using the MDC 1200

system. See the Help le for details.

L The above list does not guarantee the card’s

performance.

L Through the rest of this document, the microSDHC

card is simply called the microSD card or the card.

TIP: Icom recommends that a user save the

transceiver’s factory default data for backup. (p. 9-7)

NOTE:

• Before using the microSD card, thoroughly read the
card’s instructions.

• If you do any of the following, the card data may be

corrupted or deleted.

- A power failure occurs, or the power cable
(Mobile type) or battery pack (Portable type) is
disconnected while the card is being accessed.

- You drop, impact or vibrate the card.

• Do not touch the contacts of the card.

• The transceiver takes a longer time to recognize a

high capacity card.

• The card will get warm if continuously used for a

long period of time.

• The card has a certain lifetime, so data reading or

writing may not be possible after using it for a long

period of time.

When reading or writing data is impossible, the
card’s lifetime has ended. In that case, use a new

one.

We recommend you make a separate backup le of
