IC-4008E-2 02.3.23 3:26 PM Page 2 (1,1) FOREWORD Thank you for purchasing the IC-4008E LPD (Low Power Device) FM transceiver. This LPD FM transceiver meets the European LPD specification (ETS 300 220). This transceiver is designed for those who require top-grade quality, performance and outstanding reliability under the most demanding conditions.
IC-4008E-2 02.3.23 3:26 PM Page 3 (1,1) ■ WATER-RESISTANT* CONSTRUCTION Water-resistant* construction is employed. Can be used anywhere, anytime. *Meets JIS water-protection specification grade 4. ■ GROUP MODE (BUILT-IN CTCSS: Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) CTCSS encoder/decoder are standard, providing quiet stand-by. Audio (voice) signals are output only when a signal with matched CTCSS tone signal is received—very helpful for group communications.
IC-4008E-2 02.3.23 3:26 PM Page 4 (1,1) IMPORTANT READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL–This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC4008E LPD transceiver. CAUTIONS R WARNING! 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.
