QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

■ Your ﬁrst contact

Now that you have your IC-V8000 installed in your car or shack, you are probably excited to get on the air. We would like to take you through a few basic operation steps to make your ﬁrst “On The Air” an enjoyable experience.

1. Turning ON the transceiver

Before powering up your IC-V8000, you may want to make sure the audio volume and squelch level controls are set in 9–10 o’clock positions.

Although you have purchased a brand new transceiver, some settings may be changed from the factory defaults because of the QC process. Resetting the CPU is necessary to start from factory default.

➥ While pushing [SET(LOCK)] and [MW(S.MW)], push

[PWR] for 1 sec. to reset the CPU.

2. Tune the desired frequency

The tuning dial will allow you to dial in the frequency you want to operate. Pages 9 and 11 will instruct you on how to set the tuning speed.

Using the HM-133V

You can directly enter the frequency with the HM-133V keypad.

We hope these pointers have been helpful. Now you are ready to call CQ.

[EXAMPLE]: Setting frequency to 145.3625 MHz.

Push

■ Pager function

This function uses DTMF codes for paging and can be used as a “message pager” to inform you of a caller’s identiﬁcation even when you leave the transceiver temporarily unattended.

■

Code programming

Before programming

The pager and code squelch functions require ID codes and a group code. These codes are 3-digit DTMF codes and must be written into the code channels before operation.

q Decide the ID code of each transceiver and a group code

for your group.

w Decide whether you want to return to normal operation or

code squelch operation after a connection is made.

e Program the ID code, group code and transmit codes

(other station’s codes) as below.

The supplied HM-133V’s (optional for some versions) [F-1] and [F-2] keys memorize the transceiver conditions. The [UP]/[DN] keys of the standard or an optional microphone (other than the HM-133V) can be assigned functions like the function keys on the transceiver’s front panel.

[F-1]/[F-2] keys on HM-133V

The following conditions can be memorized into [F-1] and [F-2] keys, independently.

• Operating frequency

• Repeater setting

(offset direction and frequency, tone

ON/OFF and frequency)

• Tone/DTCS squelch

(ON/OFF, frequency/code and polarity)

OTHER FUNCTIONS

■ Partial reset

If you want to initialize the operating conditions (VFO frequency, VFO settings, set mode contents) without clearing the memory contents, a partial resetting function is available for the transceiver.

➥ While pushing [V/MHz(SCAN)], turn the power ON to par-

tially reset the transceiver.

■ All reset

The function display may occasionally display erroneous information (e.g. when first applying power). This may be caused externally by static electricity or by other factors.

If this problem occurs, turn power OFF. After waiting a few seconds, turn power ON again. If the problem persists, perform the following procedure.

• Partial resetting is also available. See left for details.

IMPORTANT!:

Resetting the transceiver CLEARS all memory information and initializes all values in the transceiver.

➥ While pushing [SET(LOCK)] and [MW(S.MW)], turn the

power ON to reset the CPU.
