BASIC OPERATION 4 ‘ Selecting the operating channel Push [UP/Y] or [DOWN/Z] keys several times until the desired operating channel number appears in the display. • While pushing and holding [UP/Y] or [DOWN/Z] keys, the displayed channel changes continuously until channel number “1” appears. • When the displayed channel stops at channel number “1”, a confirmation beep is emitted. NOTE: • The transceiver has 40 operating frequency channels.
5 RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT q Push [MODE] for 1 sec. to open the squelch. • Adjust volume to the desired audio level. (See p. 8) w Select a desired operating channel. When a signal is received: • “ ” appears in the display. • Squelch opens and audio is emitted from the speaker. • Further adjustment of [VOL] may be necessary at this point. Busy indicator appears. e Push and hold [PTT] to transmit then speak into the microphone. • Do not hold the transceiver too close to your mouth or speak too loudly.
RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT 5 ✔ Talk Range The IC-40Jr is designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field. However, the single most important factor in transmit range is your surrounding environment. These radios are “line of sight” radios and as such, transmission range is influenced by the degree to which you can “see” the other communicating party. Large concrete structures and heavy foliage or transmission from inside a building or vehicle will reduce your talk range.
6 REPEATER OPERATION 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. Please ask you dealer regarding repeater availability in your local area. q Push [UP/Y] or [DOWN/Z] to select the desired channel from 1 to 8.
SCAN FUNCTION 7 Scanning is an efficient way to locate signals quickly over all channels. Select scan resume condition in advance, using Initial Set Mode (p. 18) CH 1 CH 2 CH 40 CH 3 CH 5 CH 4 D Starting the scan ➥ While pushing [UP/Y], push [DOWN/Z] to start the scan. • “-” flashes. • While pushing [DOWN/Z], pushing [UP/Y] also starts the scan. • Push [DOWN/Z] or [UP/Y] to change the scanning direction or resume the scan manually.
8 GROUP MODE (CTCSS) ‘ Setting the group code The IC-40Jr is equipped with 38 group codes. 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. To turn ON the group mode operation: q Push [MODE] to enter set mode. • Operating channel number disappears and “ -–– ” (group mode OFF) appears in the display.
GROUP MODE (CTCSS) 8 ✔ What is CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) GROUP MODE ? CTCSS (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 CTCSS group mode is not private— anyone can receive your calls.
9 RING FUNCTION ‘ Smart-Ring The Smart-Ring function has an answer back feature. This allows you to confirm whether or not a call has reached the receiving party. q Set the same group code number for all of your group transceivers. (See p. 14) w While pushing [PTT], push [UP/Y]. • A beep is emitted and “ ” flashes in the display. e Release the [PTT]. • When a member of your group answers your call, the transceiver emits beep tones for 10 sec. and “ ” stops flashing.
