[. . . ] INSTRUCTION MANUAL PMR446 FM TRANSCEIVER iF22SR FOREWORD Thank you for purchasing the IC-F22SR PMR446 FM transceiver. This transceiver is designed for those who require top-grade quality, performance and outstanding reliability under the most demanding conditions. FEATURES Free of user-license and applications All 8 PMR channels and Auto Scan channel are available 52 convenient CTCSS tone channels 83 convenient DTCS tone channels also available Rugged construction 500 mW (ERP) High output power Icom, Icom Inc. and the logo are registered trademarks of Icom Incorporated (Japan) in the United states, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Russia and/or other countries. i 2 types of built-in Code Squelch Systems: CTCSS; Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System DTCS; Digital Tone Code Squelch CTCSS* and DTCS* encoder/decoder are standard, providing quiet stand-by. Audio (voice) signals are output only when a signal with a matched CTCSS or DTCS tone signal is received-- very helpful for group communications. [. . . ] · An AC adaptor (may be supplied with the BC144N depending on version). Turn power OFF. (Insert together with charging adaptor. ) BC-144N 8 2 BATTERY PACKS ` Charging NOTE Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation. · Recommended temperature range for charging: +10°C to +40°C. · Use the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-119N/BC121N/BC-144N for rapid charging, BC-146 for regular charging) only. The optional BP-209N, BP-210N, BP-211N or BP-222N battery packs include rechargeable Ni-Cd (Ni-MH: BP-210N, Li-Ion: BP211N) batteries and can be charged approx. Charge the battery pack before first operating the transceiver or when the battery pack becomes exhausted. If you want to charge the battery pack more than 300 times, the following points should be observed: · Avoid overcharging-- Batteries must be removed from the charger to stop charging. r While pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the microphone at a normal voice level. IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your transmitted signal, pause a few sec. after pushing [PTT], hold the microphone 10 to 15 cm from your mouth and speak at a normal voice level. 11 BASIC OPERATION 3 · Frequency channel/CTCSS tone list (default) Channel No. 1 No. 2 No. 3 No. 4 No. 5 No. 6 No. 7 No. 8 No. 9 No. 10 No. 11 No. 12 No. 13 No. 14 No. 15 No. 16 RX/TX Freq.

[S-Ring/ C-Ring] [PTT] [MONI] D Open the squelch · Pushing and holding [MONI] cancels the squelch function. · Push [MONI] to turn ON the tone squelch function again. ` Auto Scan function Auto scan function proceeds in sequence from lower channel to higher channel numbers. Scanning searches for signals automatically and makes it easier to locate new stations for contact or listening purposes. w Scan starts automatically. · TX/RX indicator LED blinks green slowly. · When receiving a signal, scan pauses until the signal disappears. 13 BASIC OPERATION 3 ` Setting the group code number D USING THE CTCSS TONE CODE The transceiver is equipped with 52 CTCSS tones. (See next page) CTCSS operation provides communication with silent standby since you will only receive calls from group members using the same CTCSS tone. q While pushing and holding [PTT], [S-Ring/C-Ring], [MONI], turn [VOL] to turn the power ON. w Select the desired CH 1 to CH 15 that you want to assign the CTCSS tone frequency to.
