WORD DEFINITION
R WARNING!
CAUTION
NOTE
Icom, Icom Inc. and the logo are registered trademarks of Icom
Incorporated (Japan) in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Russia and/or other countries.
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock
may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
Recommended for optimum use. No risk of
personal injury, fire or electric shock.
PRECAUTION
RWARNING! NEVER operate the receiver with a ear-
phone, headphones or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high
volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.
RWARNING! NEVER connect the receiver to an AC
outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric
shock.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the receiver while dri-
ving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less may result in an accident.
RWARNING! NEVER throw a battery cell into a fire
since as internal battery gas can cause explosion.
RWARNING! NEVER disassemble the battery cell. If
the battery cell’s internal material (electrolyte liquid) gets into
your eyes, wash your eyes with water and obtain treatment
from an eye doctor immediately.
NEVER connect the receiver to a power source of more
than 6 V DC directly. This will damage the receiver.
NEVER connect the receiver to a power source using re-
verse polarity. This will damage the receiver.
NEVER expose the receiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
The receiver may be damaged.
NEVER operate or touch the receiver with wet hands. This
may result in an electric shock or damage the receiver.
NEVER solder the battery cell. This may damage the bat-
tery.
AVOID using or placing the receiver in direct sunlight or in
areas with temperatures below –10°C (+14˚F) or above
+60°C (+140˚F).
AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or al-
cohol when cleaning, as they can damage the receiver’s surfaces.
Even when the receiver power is OFF, a slight current still
flows in the circuits. Remove batteries from the receiver when
not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed batteries
will become exhausted, and will need to be recharged.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device, not ex-
pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to
operate this device under FCC regulations.

OPERATING THEORY
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-R5
receives RF energy from 0.150 MHz* to 1309.995 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-R5 may receive its own oscillated frequency, resulting
in no reception or only noise reception, on some frequencies.
The IC-R5 may receive interference from extremely strong
signals on different frequencies or when using an external
high-gain antenna.

■ Programmed scan operation
25 pairs, 50 channels of memories are used for programmed
scan operation, that specifying a scanning ranges. The programmed scan scans between “xxA” and “xxB” (xx=00 to 24)
frequencies. Therefore, before operating the programmed
scan, different frequencies must be programmed into “A” and
“B” channels.
DD
Programming scan edges
A start frequency must be programmed into a “xxA,” and end
frequency must be programmed into a “xxB” memory channel.
1. Setting frequency
In VFO mode, set the desired receive frequency mode.
• When “” indicator is displayed, push [V/M•S.MW•~] to se-
lect the VFO mode.

BATTERY CHARGING
■ Battery installation
Before installing, or replacing the batteries, push [PWR] for
1 sec. to turn the power OFF.
qRemove the battery
cover from the receiver.
wInstall 2 R6 (AA) size Ni-
Cd or Ni-MH batteries.
• Be sure to observe the correct polarity.
Keep the battery contacts
clean to avoid rust or
poor contact. It’s a good
idea to clean the battery
terminals once a week.
■ Caution
DD
Battery caution
• CAUTION! NEVER short the battery terminals. Also, current
may flow into nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so
be careful when placing battery cells in handbags, etc.
• NEVER mix old and new batteries.
• Make sure all battery cells are the same brand, type and
capacity.
Either of the above may cause a fire hazard or damage the
receiver if ignored.
5
• NEVER incinerate used battery cells. Internal battery gas
may cause explosion.
If your re-chargeable batteries seem to have no capacity even
after being charged, completely discharge them by leaving
the power ON overnight. Then fully charge the batteries
again. If the batteries still does not retain a charge (or very little charge), a new battery cells must be purchased.
DD
Charging caution
RWARNING! NEVER charge dry or alkaline batteries.
AVOID over charging—
can be charged during operation when the AC adapter or the
optional cigarette lighter cable is connected. To prevent over
charging, the IC-R5 has charging timer that automatically disconnecting the charging line electronically after 15 hours from
charging. However, the charging timer will reset and start
charging again when disconnect then re-connecting the AC
adapter or CP-18A/E more than 1 min. interval.
• Recommended temperature for charging:
±0˚C to +40˚C (; +32˚F to +140˚F)
• Connect the supplied (or optional for UK and Italy versions)
AC adapter or optional cigarette lighter cable only when
charging the installed Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries. NEVER use
other manufactures’ chargers.
CAUTION: BE SURE to disconnect the CP-18A/E from
the cigarette lighter socket when charging is finished, be-
cause, a slight current still follows in the CP-18A/E and the
vehicle’s battery will become exhausted.

FREQUENCY AND CHANNEL SETTING
■ VFO and memory channels
The IC-R5 has 2 normal operating modes: VFO mode and
memory mode.
VFO mode is used for the desired frequency setting within
the frequency coverage.
➥ Push [V/M•S.MW•~] to select VFO mode.
Memory mode is used for the desired frequency setting
within the frequency coverage.
➥ Push [V/M•S.MW•~] to select memory mode.
• See p. 16 for memory programming details.
What is VFO?
VFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency Oscillator. Frequencies for receiving are generated and controlled by the
VFO.

■ Operating band selection
The receiver can receive the AM broadcast, HF band,
50 MHz, FM broadcast, VHF air, 144 MHz, 300 MHz,
400 MHz, 800 MHz,* 1200 MHz, television channels or
Weather channels
➥ Push [BAND• ] several times to select the desired fre-
quency band.
• When a memory mode is selected, push [V/M•S.MW•~] to se-
lect VFO mode first, then push [BAND• ] to select the desired band.
➥ While pushing and holding [BAND• ], rotating [DIAL]
also selects frequency band.
Available frequency bands are differ depending on version.

is received.
• P BEEP : In addition to the “TSQL” setting, alert beeps
will sound when a signal with matched tone is
received.
• DTCS : Using DTCS squelch. The squelch opens
only when a signal with matched DTCS code
is received.
• P DTCS : In addition to the “DTCS” setting, alert beeps
will sound when a signal with matched DTCS
