IC-400PRO.qxd 03.6.19 6:13 PM 3 Page 7 (1,1) REPEATER OPERATION ■ Repeater operation ■ Accessing a repeater Repeaters allow you to extend the operational range of your radio. A repeater amplifies received signals and re-transmits them on a different channel, allowing you to communicate over greater distances with improved reliability. When using a repeater, the transmit channel is shifted from the receive channel by 30 channels.
IC-400PRO.qxd 03.6.19 6:13 PM Page 8 (1,1) 4 SCAN OPERATION ■ Scan types The transceiver has 4 scan types, tag function and 4 resume conditions providing scanning versatility. Tag channels are independently set for open, group and priority scans. Initially, all channels may be set as tag channels for all scans. IMPORTANT!: A microphone should be on hook to start scanning.
IC-400PRO.qxd 03.6.19 6:13 PM 4 Page 9 (1,1) SCAN OPERATION ■ Scanning preparation IC-400PRO scans all tagged channels, and can be selected so the scan resume condition is a pause or timer scan. Therefore, these items must be set before starting a scan (except the repeater search scan). These items must be set for each scan type (open, group and priority) independently. r Push [SCN] (Scan Start/Stop) to select the tag setting ON and OFF.

IC-400PRO.qxd 03.6.19 6:13 PM 4 Page 11 (1,1) SCAN OPERATION ■ Open scan Open scan searches for being transmitted signals automatically and makes it easier to locate new stations for contact or listening purposes. IMPORTANT!: • A microphone should be on hook to start scanning. • During open scan, transmission is inhibited except on a busy channel. q Push [SCN] (Scan Start/Stop) for 1 sec. to enter the scan type selection mode. Previously selected scan type is displayed. Push [SCN] for 1 sec.
IC-400PRO.qxd 03.6.19 6:13 PM Page 12 (1,1) SCAN OPERATION 4 ■ Group and priority scans Group and priority scans repeatedly watch a priority channel while scanning specified channels. This is useful when waiting for a call on the priority channel or several specified channels. Group and priority scans behave differently when transmitting. Group scan can only transmit on a busy channel, and priority scan can only transmit on a priority channel or start channel. r Select the priority channel if desired.
IC-400PRO.qxd 03.6.19 6:13 PM 4 Page 13 (1,1) SCAN OPERATION ■ Repeater search scan The repeater search scan is not only searching for a signal on the repeater channels, but also access a repeater by transmitting automatically in sequence. Thus the repeater search scan function searches an available repeater in the area even if the repeater is not in use. IMPORTANT!: A microphone should be on hook to start scanning. The repeater search scan detects a signal on the repeater output, CH 1 to 8, only.

Access to the repeater automatically. Wait for a signal from the repeater. When not reply signal is received. Access to the next repeater automatically. Scan is cancelled automatically.
IC-400PRO.qxd 03.6.19 6:13 PM 5 Page 15 (1,1) GROUP MODE OPERATION ■ Group mode (CTCSS) [ D Setting the CTCSS frequency The IC-400PRO is equipped with 51 CTCSS frequencies for group mode operation. The group mode operation provides communication with silent stand-by since you will only receive calls from group members using the same CTCSS frequency. First of all, set the same CTCSS frequency for all group member’s transceivers.
IC-400PRO.qxd 03.6.19 6:13 PM Page 16 (1,1) GROUP MODE OPERATION 5 To cancel the group mode operation: q While in Function mode, push [O] (Bank/Func) for 1 sec. to enter Set mode. ✔ What is CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) GROUP MODE ? • Push [O] (Bank/Func) for 1 sec. to enter the transceiver into Function mode. CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) GROUP MODE allows communication with silent stand by. Only signals containing a specific CTCSS frequency can open the squelch.
IC-400PRO.qxd 03.6.19 6:13 PM 6 Page 17 (1,1) SELCALL OPERATION ■ General ■ Calling operation In addition to the group mode operation for silent stand-by, the SelCall operation is available. SelCall is an abbreviation for “Selective Calling”. In Group mode operation, there are 51 ways to make an individual call with CTCSS frequencies versus 100,000 ways to make an individual call with Selcall using 5tone. SelCall allows you to selectively call another unit that is operating on the same channel.
