Electromagnetic radiation which has frequencies of 20,000
Hz (20 kHz*) and above is called radio frequency (RF) energy
because it is useful in radio transmissions. The IC-R10 receives RF energy from 0.5 MHz to 1300 MHz* and converts it
into audio frequency (AF) energy which in turn actuates a
loudspeaker to create sound waves. AF energy is in the
range of 20 to 20,000 Hz.
*kHz is an abbreviation of kilohertz or 1000 hertz, MHz is abbreviation
of megahertz or 1,000,000 hertz, where hertz is a unit of frequency.
OPERATING NOTES
The IC-R10 may receives its own oscillated frequency, resulting in no reception or only noise reception, on some frequencies.
The IC-R10 may receive interference from extremely strong
signals on different frequencies or when using an external
high-gain antenna.

Ni-Cd BATTERIES AND ACCESSORIES
■ Charging Ni-Cd batteries
The supplied Ni-Cd batteries are rechargeable and can be
charged approx. 300 times. Charge the batteries before first
operating the receiver or when the batteries become exhausted.
If you want to be able to charge the batteries more than 300
times, the following points should be observed:
1. Avoid overcharging. The charging period should be less
than 48 hours.
2. Use the batteries until they become almost completely exhausted under normal conditions. We recommend battery
charging just after receiving becomes impossible.
■ Charging precautions
NEVER attempt to charge dry cell batteries. This will cause
internal liquid leakage and damage the receiver.
NEVER connect two or more chargers at the same time.
Charging may not occur under temperatures of 10°C (50°F)
or over temperatures of 40°C (104°F).
■ About Ni-Cd batteries
Ni-Cd battery life
If your Ni-Cd batteries seems to have no capacity even after
being fully charged, completely discharge them by leaving the
power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the Ni-Cd batteries
again. If the Ni-Cd batteries still do not retain a charge (or
very little), new batteries must be purchased.
Recycling information (U.S.A. only)
The product that you purchased contains
rechargeable batteries. The batteries are recyclable. At the end of their useful life, under vari-
ous state and local laws, it may be illegal to
dispose of these batteries into the municipal waste stream.

■ General
Operating the IC-R10 is easy. However,
in order to get the most out of its operating potential, please go through the
following procedures, step-by-step.
Then, try the examples contained at the
end of this chapter.
What is VFO?
The IC-R10 has several operating
modes, each of which has its own distinct functions. VFO (Variable
Frequency Operation) is one of these
modes.
VFO mode is used to change the operating frequency, receive mode, tuning
step, etc. Therefore, for most every day
operations of the receiver, you will be
using VFO mode.
■ Selecting VFO mode
1. Turn power ON
Push [POWER] for 1 sec. to turn
power ON.
•Opening message is displayed for 1
sec.
2. Adjust the volume
Adjust the audio to a suitable level
using [VOL].
Check the squelch position (see next
page) or VSC function setting (p. 38)
if no audio is emitted.
10
3
BASIC OPERATION
3. Adjust the squelch
Rotate [SQL] maximum counterclockwise, then rotate it clockwise
until audio is just muted when receiving no signal for FM, WFM or AM
mode. (see right page)
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] switch changes the
squelch setting. This is useful for
weak signal reception (p. 64).
3-1. Adjust the RF gain
Rotate [SQL] maximum counterclockwise, to adjust RF gain to optimum level.
What is RF gain?
RF gain controls receive sensitivity
gain—reduce the gain when you
don’t want to receive very weak signals or when excessively strong interfering signals are being received,
etc.
4. Select VFO mode
When MEMORY mode is selected,
push [V/M] to select VFO mode.
When SET or TS set mode is selected, push [CLR] to select VFO
mode.
• The VFO indicator appears.

■ Selecting a receive mode
What are receive modes?
Radio signals can be propagated in a variety of ways (or
modes). Each mode has its own physical properties that determine to some degree its uses.
The IC-R10 receives the 6 most common modes: AM, FM,
WFM, USB, LSB and CW. When you want to tune a station,
you MUST set the receive mode first. The table below shows
common uses for each mode.

BASIC OPERATION
■ Selecting a tuning step
What are tuning steps?
Tuning steps are the frequency change
increments when you rotate the tuning
control or operate a scan. The following
steps are available: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 6.25,
8, 9, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 100
kHz and user programmable tuning
steps (p. 66).
It is important to set the proper tuning
step for the type of station you want to
listen to. Some tuning steps are determined by frequency band or receive
mode and others are set by tradition.
Generally speaking, if you set a tuning
step smaller than that needed you will
still be able to tune a station you want
(or scan it), however, tuning (or scanning) will not be efficient. On the other
hand, if you select a tuning step which
is too large, you may not be able to find
the station you are looking for.
Consult local listings.
1. Call up the tuning step
set mode
Once you have selected VFO mode
and the desired receive mode, while
pushing [FUNC], push [
(MODE)TS].
2. Select the tuning step
q Rotate [DIAL] to select the desired
tuning step.
w Push [CLR] to return to VFO
mode after the selection.

BASIC OPERATION
■ Tuning a frequency (via the dial)
When you want to listen to frequencies
near the displayed frequency, the easiest way to tune them is with the tuning
dial.
All signals have what is called an “occupied bandwidth.” They will be received as long as the receiver is tuned
anywhere within this bandwidth. Even
though the frequency received may not
be the central frequency, the tuning
step should be made as small as possible (0.5 or 5 kHz) and the receiver
tuned to the point of greatest signal
strength indicator deflection.
To change frequencies faster than the
tuning step, use the dial select function
(p. 16).
1. Select VFO mode and
a receive mode
q Push [CLR] or [V/M] to select VFO
mode.

■ Dial select steps
What are dial select steps?
When tuning with the dial, if you want to change the frequency faster than the selected tuning step can, use the dial
select function.
A dial select step is an increment of frequency change much
like a tuning step is. Unlike a tuning step however, a dial select step has no relation to the type of station you want to tune
or to the scan operations.
Dial select steps are available for:

BASIC OPERATION
■ Band scope function
What is the band scope function?
The band scope detects signal availability in the range of ±5
channels (up to ±100 kHz) from the displayed frequency, and
displays the result on the multi function dot-matrix display.
This gives you a visual reference of current band conditions.
In this case, channel refers to sweep step or channel space
according to the set tuning step. For example, when the tuning step is set to 5 kHz, the band scope detects 25 kHz above
and below the displayed frequency, then displays the result
on the LCD.
When the tuning step is set above 20 kHz, the band scope
function automatically changes its sweep step to 20 kHz.
However, when the sweep step is changed to 20 kHz, the
tuning step remains the same.
Also, when a user-programmable tuning step is selected, the
band scope function automatically selects the 20 kHz sweep
step.
Preparation
The band scope function is activated only when FM receive
mode is selected in VFO mode.

MEMORY MODE
■ General
What is memory mode?
MEMORY mode is the second operating mode—the first
being VFO mode. MEMORY mode is used to store oftenused frequencies, their receive modes, attenuator settings
(p. 65), as well as skip information for scanning (p. 56). This
provides convenient recall and scanning capabilities. Also,
frequencies are receivable in MEMORY mode which means
you can listen to received signals while you are in MEMORY
mode.
The IC-R10 has 1000 memory channels for your convenience. They are divided into 18 banks: BANKS A to P contain 50 channels each for normal usage, while BANKS Q and
R contain 100 channels each for auto-memory write scan
(p. 41) and program skip scan (p. 45), respectively.
Each BANK and memory channel has BANK or memory
name capabilities, for convenience. BANK names can be up
to 10 characters; channel names up to 8 characters.
Programmed contents and names can be easily copied to
other channels using the memory copy function (p. 33) and
easily edited using the EDIT function (p. 51).

SCANNING OPERATION
■ General
Scan types
The IC-R10 has 2 major scan types: PROGRAMMED SCAN
and MEMORY SCAN. These, in turn, can be subdivided into
3 variations of each, making a total of 6 scan operations.
Additional scanning functions are available to “fine tune”
scanning operation.
The following diagrams illustrate the operation of each scan
type.
Step-by-step instructions on how and when to use each scan
type follow these diagrams.
What is scanning?
Scanning is an automatic search function that detects signals
as it checks through a range of frequencies or memory channels.
Scanning functions are useful for discovering new frequencies to listen to or for searching through previously programmed frequencies for signals.

SCANNING OPERATION
■ Before scanning
Set the following conditions before
scanning.
INFORMATION
What happens when you rotate the tuning dial during scanning?
While scanning—
Scanning direction is changed.
Example:
If you rotate [DIAL] counterclockwise
while scanning up (frequency/memory
channel number increase), scan
changes to down scanning (frequency/memory channel number decrease).
While pausing—
Scanning starts again (pause is cancelled).
1. Set receive mode
Set any receive mode EXCEPT USB,
LSB and CW.
The squelch control activates for RF
gain control while USB, LSB, or CW
mode is selected. RF gain control
does not activate for audio noise
muting, therefore, the receiver is in a
busy condition at all times. In such
case, searching speed is either very
slow or searching doesn’t even start.
2. Set the volume and
squelch levels
Set [VOL] to a suitable audio output
level.
Set [SQL] so that the noise audio is
just muted.

SCANNING OPERATION
■ Skip function
Two skip functions are available as follows:
1. Program skip function
Used with full, program and auto-memory write scans, this function allows you
to skip specified frequencies stored in
BANK R (skip function must be ON for
these channels).
2. Memory skip function
Used with memory, BANK and mode
select scans, this function allows you to
skip specified memory channels.
These are activated when PROGRAM
SKIP or MEMORY SKIP is turned
ON in set mode (p. 59).
Their factory pre-programmed settings
are:
PROGRAM SKIP : OFF
MEMORY SKIP : ON

PRIORITY WATCH
■ General
What is priority watch?
Priority watch checks for signals on a priority frequency while
listening to another frequency or, while searching one or more
frequencies or memory channels.
When receiving a signal on the priority channel, priority watch
pauses for 5 sec.
This function is useful when you want to monitor for a signal
that appears infrequently. In this case, you can wait for the
signal while listening to another signal on a different frequency.
Types of priority watch
There are two basic priority watches: VFO FREQUENCY
WATCH and MEMORY CHANNEL WATCH. Also, the priority
watch can be activated in conjunction with a scanning function, thereby making a total of 8 priority watch operations.
The following diagrams illustrate the operation of each priority
watch type.
VFO FREQUENCY WATCH
While listening to a VFO frequency, priority watch checks
for signals on the priority frequency every 5 sec.
VFO
MEMORY CHANNEL WATCH
While listening to a selected
memory channel, priority
watch checks for signals on
the priority frequency every 5
sec.
•When the selected memory
A01
channel is masked (blank), the
the watch does not start.
•SKIP memory channels can be
selected.

PRIORITY WATCH
FULL SCAN WATCH/PROGRAM SCAN/AUTO-MEMORY WRITE SCAN WATCH
While scanning the full frequency range or a programmed frequency range, priority watch checks for signals on the priority frequency every 5 sec.
• When the skip function is ON, skips specified frequencies.
•The priority frequency is never programmed into BANK Q even if a signal
is received on the priority frequency when auto-memory write scan is selected.
MEMORY SCAN/BANK SCAN/MODE SELECT SCAN WATCH
While scanning all or selected memory channels, priority watch
checks for signals on the priority frequency every 5 sec.
• When the skip function is ON, skips specified memory channels.
•When the selected BANK or receive mode is not memorized, priority
watch does not start.

■ General
The IC-R10 has an EASY mode which
provides simple operation by only scanning programmed frequency ranges.
When you select EASY mode, 1 of 10
pre-programmed frequency ranges can
be selected.
10 different frequency ranges are programmed for EASY mode operation in
some transceiver versions; however,
0.5–1300.0000 MHz with FM receive
mode is pre-programmed into all 10
channels in other versions.
Settings for each range are programmable. See page 55, before you operate in EASY mode, in case EASY mode
doesn’t have the frequency ranges you
want or when you want to set up preferred conditions.

SET MODE
■ General
What is SET mode?
SET mode is accessed from VFO,
MEMORY or EASY mode and allows
you to modify certain receiver conditions to suit your operating requirements.
Adjusting these settings to your own individual preferences allows you to “customize” the receiver’s operating
parameters to suit your operating style.
If you are not sure what effect changing
a particular condition will have on the
receiver’s performance—experiment
with different settings. Don’t worry, there
is no way you can damage the receiver
by altering these settings.
There are 11 conditions which can be
modified in SET mode. The displays at
right show the initial or all reset (p. 70)
conditions. See the following pages for
an example of each condition and how
to modify them.
