BASIC OPERATION ■ Selecting a channel There are several types of channel selections. Methods may differ, depending on the presetting. Consult your dealer for details. NON-ZONE TYPE: To select the desired operating channel: ➥➥ Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR]. ➥➥ Push [CH Up] or [CH Down]. ➥➥ Push one of [MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4]. ➥➥ Push [Prio A], [Prio B], [Prio A (Rewrite)] or [Prio B (Rewrite)]. ZONE TYPE: To select the desired operating channel: ➥➥ Push [Zone], then push [CH Up] or [CH Down].
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. The display illustration is for the Simple type and 10-key type transceivers. < for the Non-display type transceivers > For settings of the microphone gain, the squelch level, the Beep level, the Beep function, and the Ringer level, see page 16 to 19.
2 BASIC OPERATION SQL (Squelch) Level Signal Moni • 0: SQL Open • 2: SQL Threshold • 9: SQL Tight • ON: Signaling beeps sound. • OFF: No signaling beeps sound. AF Min Level (Minimum audio output level) • 0 (minimum) – 255 (maximum) Mic Gain Higher values make the microphone more sensitive to the user's voice. • 1 (minimum) – 4 (maximum) 15 Lone Worker • ON: If no operation occurs for a set time period, the transceiver automatically enters the “Emergency” mode.
BASIC OPERATION ■ Setting the Beep function These instructions are for the non-display type transceivers. The Beep function can be turned ON or OFF. When it is OFF, the channel announcement is also turned OFF. [ROTARY SELECTOR] [VOL] NOTE: You should turn ON the Beep function when you set the Beep level, the Ringer level, the microphone gain, and the squelch level. qqRotate [VOL] to turn the transceiver power OFF. ww Set [ROTARY SELECTOR] to any channel other than Channel 16.
2 BASIC OPERATION ■ Setting the Beep level These instructions are for the non-display type transceivers. The Beep level is adjustable between 1 and 5, or 1 (linked) and 5 (linked). When a Linked option is selected, the beep audio level is adjustable by rotating [VOL]. qqRotate [VOL] to turn OFF the transceiver. 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.
BASIC OPERATION 2 ■ Setting the Ringer level These instructions are for the non-display type transceivers. The Ringer level can be adjusted between 1 and 5, or 1 (Linked) and 5 (Linked). When a Linked option is selected, the ringer audio level is adjustable by rotating [VOL]. qqRotate [VOL] to turn OFF the transceiver power. wwSet [ROTARY SELECTOR] to Channel 16. ee While holding down [Lower], rotate [VOL] to turn ON the power and enter the Ringer level adjustment mode.
2 BASIC OPERATION ■ Setting the microphone gain ■ Setting the squelch level These instructions are for the non-display type transceivers. Adjust the microphone gain. These instructions are for the non-display type transceivers. The squelch circuit mutes the received audio signal, depending on the signal strength. 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 give an alphanumeric name for each station ID.
3 MDC 1200 SYSTEM OPERATION D Receiving an Emergency Call D Receiving a Stun or Revive Call q When an emergency call is received: • Beeps sound. • The calling station ID (or alias) and “ EMG EMG” are alternately displayed. • The operation of the backlight depends on the Backlight setting in the User set mode. When “LIGHT AUT” or “LIGHT AU2” is selected, the backlight turns ON for a set time period*.
MDC 1200 SYSTEM OPERATION 3 ■ Transmitting a call DDTransmitting a PTT ID You can notify another person of your station ID or alias. qqPush [PTT] to make a call. wwBeeps sound, depending on the presetting. ee Your alias or 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.
