RWARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits

Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Extreme caution should be ob­served when operating this device. If you have any questions
regarding RF exposure and safety standards please refer to
the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engi­neering and Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance
with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio frequency Electro­magnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65)

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 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is verti­cal.

RWARNING! NEVERoperate the transceiver with a

headset 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 or discontinue use.

RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver while

driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—
anything less may result in an accident.

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC

outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.

NEVER connect a power supply of more than 16 V DC

through the optional CP-19R

CIGARETTE LIGHTER CABLE

to the

[DC 11V] jack to prevent damaging the transceiver.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using

reverse polarity. This will ruin the transceiver.

NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and

fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting,
the transceiver may be damaged.

NEVERexpose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.

The transceiver may be damaged.

NEVER operate or touch the transceiver with wet hands.

This may result in an electric shock or ruin the transceiver.

NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be

aware that external DC power connections will charge batter­ies inside the battery case. This will damage not only the bat­tery case but also the transceiver.

■ Your first contact

Now that you have your IC-V85 ready, you are excited to get
on the air. We would like to walk you through a few basic op­erational steps to make your first “On The Air” use an enjoy­able experience.

D About default setting

The [VOL] control function can be exchanged with [YY]/[ZZ]
keys function in

INITIAL SET MODE

. However, in this QUICK

REFERENCE, the factory default setting ([VOL] controls
audio output level) is used to simplify instructions.

D Basic operation

1. Turning ON the transceiver

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

➥ While pushing [MONI]

and [CLR], push and
hold [PWR] for 1 sec. to
reset the CPU and turn
power ON.

2. Adjusting audio output level

➥ Rotate [VOL] to set the desired

audio level.

3. Adjusting the squelch level

➥ While pushing and holding

[MONI], push [YY] or [ZZ] to set
the squelch level.

4. T une the desired frequency

The up/down keys, [YY]/[ZZ], will
allow you to tune to the frequency
that you want to operate on. Page
18 will instruct you on how to adjust
the tuning step size.

➥ Push [YY] or [ZZ] to adjust the fre-

quency.

BATTERY PACKS

■ Cautions

• R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery

packs with Icom radios. Only Icom battery packs are tested
and approved for use with Icom radios. Using third-party or
counterfeit battery packs may cause smoke, fire, or cause
the battery to burst.

DD

Battery caution

• R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the bat-

tery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted
or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy
pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on the outside
of the case. Even if the surface of the battery does not show
cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may
rupture or catch fire.

• R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery pack in areas

with temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature
build up in the battery, such as could occur near fires or
stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may
cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temper­atures may also degrade battery performance or shorten
battery life.

• R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow,

seawater, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet
battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before
using.

• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate an used battery pack since

internal battery gas may cause it to rupture, or may cause
an explosion.

• R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or
NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat gen­eration, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fire.

• R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for
which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other
equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this in­struction manual.

• R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your
eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean
water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.

• WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an
abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any
of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or dis­tributor.

• WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part
of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the
battery.

Misuse of Lithium-Ion batteries may result in the follow­ing hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture.
Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degra­dation of battery performance.

• WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven,

high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker.
This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to
rupture.

• CAUTION!Always use the battery within the specified tem-

perature range for the transceiver (–10˚C to +60˚C; +14˚F
to +140˚F) and the battery itself (–10˚C to +60˚C; +14˚F to
+140˚F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature
range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life.

• CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is

left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive
temperature environment (above +45˚C; +113˚F) for an ex­tended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a
long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharg­ing. You may use the battery until the battery becomes
about half-capacity, then keep it safely in a cool dry place
with the temperature between –20˚C to +35˚C (–4˚F to
+95˚F).

DD

Charging caution

• R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with

extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves,
inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such envi­ronments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will acti­vate, causing the battery to stop charging.

• WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the bat-

tery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the
battery is not completely charged by the specified time, stop
charging and remove the battery from the battery charger.
Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specified time
limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rup­ture.

• WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery attached

to the transceiver) into the charger if it is wet or soiled. This
could corrode the battery charger terminals or damage the
charger. The charger is not waterproof.

• CAUTION! DO NOT charge the battery outside of the spec-

ified temperature range: 10˚C to +40˚C (+50˚F to +104˚F).
Icom recommends charging the battery at +20˚C (+68˚F).
The battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the
specified temperature range. Additionally, battery perfor­mance or battery life may be reduced.

BATTERY PACKS

■ Regular charging

When using a BP-227

BATTERY PACK

attached to the trans-

ceiver, prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the bat­tery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and
operation.

DD

Charging note

• Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF.

Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged completely or takes
longer charging time periods.

• External DC power operation becomes possible when using
an optional CP-19R. The attached battery pack is also
charged simultaneously, except during transmit. (see p. 16
for more details)

Even through there is no indication during regular charg­ing, the transceiver automatically stops charging the bat­tery pack when the battery pack is fully charged (BP-227’s
voltage becomes approx. 7.2 V) or the continuous charg­ing time is over 15 hours.

■ General

When using a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from
the receive frequency by the offset frequency. It is convenient
to program repeater information into memory channels.

qSet the receive frequency (repeater output frequency).
wPush [FUNC] and

[

DUP

](4)

several times to select “–” or “+.”

• “–” indicates the transmit frequency is shifted down; “+” indicates
the transmit frequency is shifted up.

• Blinking “–” or “+” indicates the reversed duplex mode is selected
in

SET MODE

(p. 48).

ePush [FUNC] and [

TONE

](1) several times to activate the

subaudible tone encoder, if required.

•“ ” appears.

• Select the desired subaudible tone frequency, if necessary.
(p. 23)

rPush and hold [PTT] to transmit.

• The displayed frequency automatically changes to the transmit
frequency (repeater input frequency).

• If “OFF” appears, check the offset frequency (see next page for
details) and direction.

tRelease [PTT] to receive.
yPush and hold [MONI] to check whether the other station’s

transmit signal can be directly received.

■ Reversed duplex mode

When the reversed duplex mode is selected, the receive fre­quency shifts.

(Transmit frequency shifts in normal duplex mode.)

Each receive and transmit frequency is shown in the table
below with the following conditions;

Input frequency : 145.30 MHz
Direction : – (negative)
Offset frequency : 0.6 MHz

qPush [FUNC], then push [

■ Programmed scan

Programmed scan repeatedly scans between two user pro­grammed frequencies (memory channels “1A–3A” and
“1b–3b”) or scans between upper and lower band edges. This
scan is useful for checking for signals within a specific fre­quency range such as repeater output frequencies, etc.
Scans between lower (start) and high (stop) frequency.

qPush [CLR] to select VFO mode, if necessary.
wPush [FUNC] and [

SCAN

](5) to start a scan.

ePush [FUNC] and [

SET

](8) several times to select the de-

sired scan edge, “P1,” “P2,” “P3” or “AL.”

• “AL” for full scan, “P1”, “P2” and “P3” for programmed scan be­tween the programmed scan edge channels as “1A”–“1b,”
“2A”–“2b” and “3A”–“3b.”

•To change the scan direction, push [YY] or [ZZ].

■ Tone squelch

D Operation

The tone squelch opens only when receiving a signal con­taining a matching subaudible tone. You can wait for calls
from group members using the same tone and not hear other
signals.

q Set the operating frequency.

•

Set the volume and squelch to the desired level as the normal op­eration.

w Set the desired subaudible tone in

.

• See page 40 for programming.

e Push [FUNC], then push [

TONE

](1).

• Repeat several times until “ ” appears when selecting CTCSS,
or “ ” appears when selecting DTCS.

r When the received signal includes a matching tone,

squelch opens and the signal can be heard.

• When the received signal’s tone does not match, tone squelch
does not open, however, the S-indicator shows signal strength.

• To open the squelch manually, push and hold [MONI].

t Transmit in the normal way.
y To cancel the tone squelch, push [FUNC] and [

TONE

](1).

• Repeat several times until “ ” or “ ” disappears.

NOTE: The transceiver has 50 tone frequencies and con­sequently their spacing is narrow compared to units having
38 tones. Therefore, some tone frequencies may receive
interference from adjacent tone frequencies.
To prevent interference from adjacent tone frequencies,
using the frequencies as in the following table, is recom­mended.

■ 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 [CLR], push and hold [PWR] for 1 sec. to

partially reset.

■ CPU 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 [MONI] and [CLR], push and hold [PWR]

for 1 sec. to reset the CPU.

• “CLEAR” indicates, then initial display appears.
