INSTRUCTION MANUAL

DUAL BAND FM TRANSCEIVER

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.

The IC-W32E complies with the essential requirements of the
89/336/EEC directive for Electromagnetic Compatibility. This
compliance is based on conformity with the ETSI specification
prETS300 684 (EMC product standard for Commercially Avail­able Amateur Radio Equipment).

i

CAUTIONS

RW ARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the

antenna is very close to, or touching exposed par ts 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.
Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op­eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the
volume level 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.

IMPORTANT

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and com-

pletely before using the transceiver.

SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL — This

instruction manual contains important operating instructions
for the IC-W32A and IC-W32E.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

The explicit definitions below apply to this instruction manual.

WORD DEFINITION

RWARNING

Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock
may occur.

CAUTION

Equipment damage may occur.

■ Battery pack charging

The supplied* BP-173 or BP-180

BATTERY PACK

includes
rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries and can be charged approx.
300 times. Charge the battery pack before first operating the
transceiver or when the battery pack becomes exhausted.

*Optional for versions which come with the BP-170

BATTERY CASE

.

If you want to be able to charge the battery pack 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 battery until it becomes almost completely ex-

hausted under normal conditions. We recommend battery
charging just after transmitting becomes impossible.

■ Charging precautions

NEVER attempt to charge dr y cell 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).

■ About the battery pack

D Operating period

Depending on the attached battery pack, the operating period
of the transceiver varies. Ref er to p. 43 for battery pack spec­ifications.

D Battery pack life

If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after
being fully charged, completely discharge it by leaving the
power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack
again.

If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or very little),
a new battery pack must be purchased.

D Recycling information (U.S.A. only)

The product that you have purchased contains a
rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At
the end of its life, under various state and local

laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into
the municipal waste stream. Call 1-800-8-BATTERY for bat­tery recycling options in your area or contact your dealer.

■ T one squelch operation

D Operation

The tone squelch opens only when receiving a signal con­taining a matching subaudible tone. You can silently wait for
calls from group members using the same tone.

q Assign the main band to the desired display with [MAIN].
w Set the operating frequency.
e Set the desired CTCSS tone in set mode.

•See right for programming.

r Push [TONE] several times until “TSQL” appears.
t 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 [SQL].

y Operate the transceiver in the normal way.
u To cancel the tone squelch, push [TONE].

NOTE:The transceiver has 50 tone frequencies and con­sequently their spacing is narrow compared with units hav­ing 38 tones. Therefore, some tone frequencies may
receive interference from adjacent tone frequencies.

■ T one scan

The transceiver can detect the subaudible tone frequency in a
received signal. By monitoring a signal that is being transmit­ted on a repeater input frequency, you can determine the tone
frequency required to access the repeater.

q Assign the main band to the desired display with [MAIN].
w Set the desired frequency or memory channel to be

checked for a tone frequency.

e Push [

(#)TSCAN] for 2 sec. to start the tone scan.

•To change the scanning direction, rotate [DIAL].

r When the tone frequency is decoded, the set mode con-

tents are programmed with the tone frequency.

•The tone scan pauses when a tone frequency is detected.

•The decoded tone frequency is used for the tone encoder or tone

encoder/decoder, depending on the the tone squelch ON/OFF
setting.

•“CT” or “RT” appears during tone scan when the tone squelch is
in use or not.

t Push [VFO] to stop the scan.
