About the air ventilation holes

There are air ventilation holes on the receiver body and battery pack/case that adjust the air pressure inside of the receiver.

L Applying a sticker over the ventilation hole blocks the air pressure adjustment, and may

decrease the audio output level.

L Damage to the ventilation sheet may reduce the water protection capability.

Here is an air ventilation hole.

■ About the Battery Case

z Remove the battery case, then install three AA (LR6) size alkaline batteries, as

described below.

Be sure to observe the correct polarity.

Battery case

(Optional BP-293)

Install three AA (LR6)

size alkaline batteries

D Battery life

The approximate battery life (operating time) is approximately 4 hours under the following assumptions:

• Dualwatch function: ON (A band: Receiving, B band: Stand-by, Power Save function: ON (Auto (Short))

L The battery life may differ, depending on the operating style, or the installed alkaline

batteries.

L The batteries may seem to have low capacity when used in low temperatures. Keep the

case warm in low temperature environments.

D About the battery replacement

When the alkaline batteries are almost exhausted, “LOW BATTERY” is displayed, then the receiver is automatically turned OFF. Replace all batteries with new alkaline batteries.

L When the BP-293 battery case is attached to the receiver, the battery icon cannot display

the battery capacity of the alkaline batteries. The battery icon stays as “

D About the safety use of the battery case

• When installing batteries, make sure they are all the same brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old batteries together.

• Keep the battery terminals clean. It’s a good idea to occasionally clean them.

• Never incinerate used battery cells since the 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 using it.

• Never use batteries whose insulated covering is damaged.

CAUTION: Install only alkaline batteries into the BP-293.

NOTE:

• Remove the alkaline batteries when battery case is not used.

• Do not connect a USB cable while the battery case is attached to the receiver. The operation while connecting a USB is not guaranteed.

TIP:

• The BP-293 meets IPX4 requirements for waterproof protection, only when it is attached to the IC-R30.

• The batteries may seem to have low capacity when used in low temperatures. Keep the case warm in low temperature environments.

■ Charging with a USB cable

You can charge the battery pack with the supplied USB cable (A-microB type).

Power adapter or external battery (User supplied)

Turn OFF

NOTE:

• BE SURE to turn OFF the receiver before charging the battery pack. Otherwise the attached battery pack cannot be charged completely, or it will take much longer to charge.

• If you use a third party USB cable, you may not be able to charge:

- Depending on your USB cable or power adapter.

- When using a USB hub or connecting to a low output USB port.

TIP:

• When the battery pack is fully charged, the charging will automatically stop. If you leave the receiver connected to the USB cable, the charging will automatically start when the battery has been almost exhausted.

Even when the receiver power is OFF, a slight current still ows in the circuits. Remove

the battery pack or batteries from the receiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed battery pack or battery case cells will become exhausted, and will need to be recharged or replaced.

• You can select an option for while the receiver and PC are connected. (p. 6-21) ([MENU] > Function > USB Connect)

MEMORY OPERATION

■ General description

The Memory mode is very useful to quickly select often-used operating settings. The receiver has 2000 regular memory channels and 100 memory groups. Up to 100 channels can be assigned to a group.

NOTE:

Memory data may be erased by static electricity, electric transients, and other causes. In addition, they can be erased by a malfunction and during repairs. Therefore, we recommend that memory data be backed up by saving it to a microSD card or to a PC.

• The microSD card is user supplied.

• The CS-R30 backup the memory data.

D Memory channel contents

A single memory channel stores following items.

L Contents differs, depending on the receive mode.

• Memory name

• Frequency

• Tuning step

• Receive mode

• Duplex direction (DUP+/DUP–)

• Frequency offset

• RF Gain setting

• Scan skip setting

• Tone squelch or DTCS squelch setting*

GPS OPERATION

■ GPS operation features

GPS Memory (p. 5-15)

You can enter up to 300 GPS Memories in the receiver. By adding destination position information in a GPS Memory, you can effectively use the GPS Alarm function. The position information that you acquired can also be entered in a GPS Memory.

GPS Alarm function (p. 5-22)

When a target station comes into the set alarm area, or when you approach an entered GPS Memory alarm area, the function can sound an alarm. With this function, you can know when you are approaching the destination.

GPS Logger function (p. 5-24)

The GPS Logger function enables you to save the position data from a GPS receiver onto a microSD card as a log. If you use this GPS Logger while driving, you can check your driving history on a mapping software program.

D-PRS Extension function (p. 5-3)

The D-PRS Extension function enables you to receive Object, Item, and Weather information in addition to Position data. With this extension, you can simultaneously

receive earthquake information, trafc accident information, emergency information, or

weather information, and so on, along with voice audio in the DV mode.

■ Before starting GPS operation

The receiver has a built-in internal GPS receiver. The GPS receiver’s position data can be received in any mode.

D Checking the GPS signal

You can check the satellite acquisition status indicated by the GPS icon.

GPS OPERATION

■ GPS format types

GPS position data has 2 TX modes, D-PRS and NMEA. Moreover, with the D-PRS mode data, 5 position formats. Position (Mobile station/Base station), Object, Item, and Weather, are selectable.

Examples: When the caller’s TX format is D-PRS Position (Mobile)

D-PRS D-PRS is a function that simultaneously sends position

data received from the internal or external GPS receiver, using the slow speed data packet space, along with voice.

Position (Mobile) A station operating from a vehicle, or other position, away

from it's normal base position.

Position (Base) A station operating at home or in a building.

Object Transmitting Object data such as an earthquake

information, satellite track information, and so on. An Object contains a time stamp.

Item Transmitting Item data such as a trafc accident,

lighthouse, antenna, or DV access point position, and so on. An Item does not contain a time stamp.

Weather A station transmitting weather information received from

a weather device.

NMEA A station transmitting position data (NMEA0183) received

from the GPS receiver.

GPS OPERATION

■ GPS Logger function

The GPS Logger function enables you to save the position data from a GPS receiver onto a microSD card as a log. The GPS Logger saves Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, Positioning state, Course, Speed, Date, and Time. If you use this GPS Logger while driving, you can check your driving history on a mapping application.

L The GPS Logger function is set to ON as the default setting.

D GPS Logger operating outline

To use the GPS Logger function, do the following:

1. Insert a microSD card (User supplied).

2. Confirm that the GPS receiver is receiving your position data. (p. 5-4)

3. Turn ON the GPS Logger function.

↓

Completed. You can start using the GPS Logger function.

NOTE:

• The GPS Logger function requires a microSD card (User supplied).

• Once the GPS Logger function is turned ON, the receiver continuously saves position data from the GPS receiver, even if the receiver is turned OFF, then ON again. To cancel this function, turn it OFF. While this function is ON, and when the receiver is turned OFF, the

• When the microSD card is full, this function is automatically paused.

• While the GPS Logger is activated, you cannot use the receiver in the SD Card mode.

TIP: Using the <<GPS Logger Only>> mode

The receiver has an exclusive GPS Logger mode where only the GPS Logger functions. This mode is useful when you are traveling and do not want to use the receiver for listening, but you do want to use just the GPS Logger. See page 5-28 for details.
