1 PANEL DESCRIPTION ■ LED indicator The LED indicator indicates the status of various parameters of the transceiver as follows: (Reference: R=Red, G=Green, O=Orange) • Receiving • Cloning (reading or writing data) • Low Battery 2 (You must charge the battery.) G G G G G G G G G G G G • Low Battery 1 (You should charge the battery.
R F /S Scan L ow BATT1 ■ Programmable functionL owkeys BATT2 The following functions can be assigned to [Emer], [Upper], T X L ow BATT1 [Lower], and [Ext. Emer]. Consult your Icom dealer or system operator for details conT X L ow BATT2 cerning your transceiver’s programming. SCAN START/STOP ➥ Push to start and cancel a scan. • When a scan is started with the Power ON Scan or Automatic scan function, push this key to cancel it. The cancelled scan resumes after a set time period.
1 PANEL DESCRIPTION TALK AROUND ➥ Push to turn the Talk Around function ON or OFF. • The Talk Around function equalizes the transmit frequency to the receive frequency for transceiver-to-transceiver communication. DTMF AUTODIAL ➥ Push to transmit the preprogrammed DTMF code. CALL ➥ Push to transmit a 2-Tone in the operating chan nel. CALL A (CODE 1)/CODE B (CODE 2) ➥ Push to transmit a 2-Tone, that is programmed in channel 1 (Code A) or channel 2 (Code B).
BASIC OPERATION ■ Channel selection There are several types of channel selections. Methods may differ, depending on the presetting. Consult your dealer for details. To select the desired operating channel: ➥ Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR]. ➥ Push one of [MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4]. ➥ Push [Prio A], [Prio B], [Prio A (Rewrite)] or [Prio B (Rewrite)]. AUTOMATIC SCAN TYPE: Channel setting is not necessary for this scan type. When turning ON the power, the transceiver automatically starts scanning.
2 BASIC OPERATION DDTransmitting notes • Transmit inhibit function The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict transmission under the following conditions: - The channel is busy. However, depending on the presettings, you can transmit when the call includes an unmatched (or matched) CTCSS (DTCS) tone. - The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel. • Time-out timer If continuous transmission exceeds the preprogrammed time-out timer limit, transmission is cut off.
BASIC OPERATION 2 ■ Emergency call When pushing [Emergency] for the set time period*, the transceiver transmits an emergency signal once, or repeatedly, on the specified emergency channel. NOTE: Depending on the presetting, the following functions are automatically activated. Ask your dealer for details. The transceiver automatically transmits a repeat emergency signal until it receives an acknowledgement signal, or you turn OFF the transceiver power.
2 BASIC OPERATION ■ Lone Worker Emergency Call ■ Man Down Emergency Call When the Lone Worker function is ON, and if no operation occurs for a set time period*, the transceiver automatically enters the emergency mode. Then the countdown for the emergency call transmission starts. After a set time period* has passed, an emergency call is automatically transmitted once, or repeatedly*.
BASIC OPERATION ■ User set mode The User Set mode enables you to change various settings. You can “customize” the transceiver operation to suit your preferences and operating style. [ROTARY SELECTOR] [VOL] ■ Setting the microphone gain qqRotate [VOL] to turn the transceiver power OFF. wwSet [ROTARY SELECTOR] to Channel 16. ee While holding down [Upper], rotate [VOL] to turn ON the power and enter the microphone gain adjustment mode.
2 BASIC OPERATION ■ Setting the squelch level The squelch circuit mutes the received audio signal, depending on the signal strength. [ROTARY SELECTOR] [VOL] qqRotate [VOL] to turn the transceiver power OFF. ww Set [ROTARY SELECTOR] to any channel other than Channel 16. ee While holding down [Upper], rotate [VOL] to turn ON the power and enter the squelch level adjustment mode. rr Push [Upper] to increase the squelch level (tight squelch), or push [Lower] to decrease the squelch level (loose squelch).
BASIC OPERATION 2 ■ Setting the Beep function and level The beep function can be ON or OFF, and its level can be adjusted between 1 and 5, or 1 (linked) and 5 (linked). When a Linked option is selected, the beep level is adjustable by [VOL]. qqRotate [VOL] to turn the transceiver power OFF. ww Set [ROTARY SELECTOR] to any channel other than Channel 16. ee While holding down [Lower], rotate [VOL] to turn ON the power and enter the beep level adjustment mode.
2 BASIC OPERATION ■ Setting the Ringer level The Ringer level can be adjusted between 1 and 5, or 1 (Linked) and 5 (Linked). When a Linked option is selected, the Ringer level is adjustable by [VOL]. tt Rotate [VOL] to turn the power OFF, then ON again to exit the beep level adjustment mode. NOTE: This operation may not be selectable, depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for details. qqRotate [VOL] to turn the transceiver power OFF. wwSet [ROTARY SELECTOR] to Channel 16.
MDC 1200 SYSTEM OPERATION ■ MDC 1200 system operation The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your transceiver’s capabilities. You can receive or transmit PTT ID and Emergency calls. You can also receive Radio Check, Stun, and Revive calls. An additional feature of the MDC 1200 system included in Icom transceivers is called aliasing. Each transceiver on the system has a unique ID number. Aliasing is a substitute for this ID number and you can set a ringer for each station ID.
3 MDC 1200 SYSTEM OPERATION ■ Transmitting a call D Transmitting a PTT ID You can notify another person of your station ID. q Push [PTT] to make a call. w Beeps sound, depending on the presetting. e Your station ID will be transmitted when you push [PTT] (at the beginning of transmission) or release it (at the end of transmission), depending on the presetting.
