FOREWORD; Thank you for purchasing the 1c4008A UNICEF FM transceiver This transceiver is designed for those who require top grade quality, performance and outstanding reliability under the most demanding conditions.
B WATER-RESISTANT* CONSTRUCTION Water-resistant” construction is employed. Can be used anywhere, anytime. *Meets JIS water-protection specification grade 4. n GROUP MODE (BUILT-IN CRESS: Continuous Tone . Coded Squelch System) CSS encoder/decoder are standard, providing quiet stand -by. Audio (voice) signals are output only when a signal with matched CSS tone signal is received—very helpful for group communications. 38 different CSS frequencies are available.
IMPORTANT READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL-This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC4008A UHF FM transceiver. CAUTIONS /N WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed pans of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.

Group mode operation provides communication with silent standby since you will only receive calls from group members using the same group number. First of all, set the same group code number for all group member's transceivers. Turn ON the group mode operation: (D Push [MODE] o enter set mode.
e CSS: Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System 6 v What is CSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) GROUP MODE ? CSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) GROUP MODE allows communication with silent stand by. Only signals containing your group code can open the squelch. This conveniently eliminates unwanted audio and is useful in group activities or security related activities where unwanted output can be a problem. Note that CSS group mode is not privatization can receive your calls.
