INSTRUCTION MANUAL
144 MHz FM TRANSCEIVER
iT2H
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
IMPORTANT
CAUTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com-
pletely before using the transceiver.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL—This in-
struction manual contains important operating instructions for
the IC-T2H.
RWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the
antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the
body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The
transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm
(2 to 4 in) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.
RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a
headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
The explicit definitions below apply to this instruction manual.
WORD DEFINITION
RWARNING
CAUTION
NOTE
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.
Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the
volume or discontinue use.
NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a
power source of more than 16 V DC. Such a connection will
damage the transceiver.
NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is
DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will
be protected by this fuse, higher fuse values will not give any
protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be
ruined.
NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be-
ware that external DC power connections will charge batteries
inside the battery case. This will damage not only the battery
case but also the transceiver.

BATTERY PACKS
■ Battery pack charging
The supplied BP-194
Ni-Cd batteries* and can be charged approx. 300 times.
Charge the batteries before first operating the transceiver or
when they 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 completely exhausted
under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging
just after transmitting becomes impossible.
*Not supplied with some versions.
BATTERY CASE
includes rechargeable
■ About battery packs
D Operating period
Depending on installed battery pack (batteries), the operating
period of the transceiver varies. Refer to p. 39 for operating
period details.
D Battery life
If your batteries seem to have no capacity even after being
fully charged, completely discharge them by leaving the
power ON overnight. Then fully charge them again.
If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little), new
batteries must be purchased.
■ Charging precautions
NEVER attempt to charge dry cell/alkaline batteries. This will
cause internal liquid leakage and damage the battery case
and transceiver.
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).

ANI (Automatic Number Identification) mode can only be
turned ON using the optional CS-T2
sult the HELP file in the CS-T2
If ANI mode is already on, resetting the CPU (see above) effectively turns ANI mode off.
■ General
The ANI (Automatic Number Identification) function is a
method of selective calling which features an answer back
function. This allows you to confirm whether or not a call has
reached the receiving party even if the operator is temporarily
away from the transceiver.
In order to use the IC-T2H’s ANI function, cloning is necessary via a PC using the optional CS-T2
Using this software, the transceiver’s individual ANI code,
group codes, ANI time-out timer and other settings related to
ANI operation can be set. Refer to the Read Me file that
comes with the CS-T2
tings.
CLONING SOFTWARE
Once ANI mode is programmed, the transceiver cannot use
frequency or channel display mode unless it is reprogrammed
from a PC using the CS-T2
reset (see p. 30).

NOTE: When your conversation extends into the ANI timeout time, the transceiver transmits a disconnect code automatically.
ANI OPERATION
11
D Calling group stations
➀ Turn power on, then select the desired group channel.
➁ Enter the 3-digit ANI code including the group code “D”—
the transceiver calls the desired station automatically.
• The transceiver transmits the pre-programmed selective code.
• When entering a 3-digit code, the transceiver automatically trans-
mits a group code after the 3rd digit is entered.
• When making group calls the transceiver does not ring and no
answer back connection code is received.
• You can make an announcement to your group immediately with-
out a connection procedure.
➂ Push [PTT] in the regular way to communicate.
➃ When your conversation is finished, while pushing [PTT],
push [#] to transmit a disconnect code.
D Group call code examples
[Example 1]
If “11D” is transmitted, transceivers with receive codes “11 0”
to “119” are called.
[Example 2]
If “1D3” is transmitted, transceivers with receive codes “103,”
“113,”…“183” and “193” are called.
NOTE: “DDD” transmits to all transceivers.
D Waiting for a call
➀ Turn power on, then select the de-
sired channel.
• The transceiver may be programmed
to start a scan at power on.
➁ When you receive a selective call,
the transceiver “rings.”
• Push [ANI CODE] to display the re-
ceive code.
➂ Push [PTT] to send a connection code within 10 sec.
➃ While “” flashes, converse with the connected station.
➄ When your conversation is finished, you may receive a dis-
connect code.
• Transmitting a disconnect code from your side (push [PTT] + [#])
is also possible (except for group call receive).
• “” stops flashing.

D Cloning error
NOTE: DO NOT push the [PTT] on the slave transceiver
during cloning. This will cause a cloning error.
When the display at right appears, a
cloning error has occurred.
In such a case, both transceivers automatically return to clone standby condition and cloning must
be repeated.
If your transceiver seems to be malfunctioning, please check
the following points before sending it to a service center.
