w Adjust the audio to a suitable level using [VOL]. e Push and hold [MODE] for 1sec. to close the squelch. [MODE]

What is squelch?

A squelch circuit allows muting of undesired noise while receiving no signal and emit audio while receiving signals. This provides quiet standby. The [MODE] key changes the squelch setting. This is useful to listen to weak signals that do not open the squelch.

Page 9 (1,1)

I Selecting the operating channel
Push [Y] or [Z] keys several times until the desired operating channel number appears on the display. While pushing and holding [Y] or [Z] keys, the displayed channel changes continuously until channel number 1 appears. [Y] To keep the automatic selection, release the [Y] or [Z] keys then [Z] push and hold them again. When displayed channel stops at channel number 1, a beep is emitted. NOTE: The transceiver has 8 operating frequency channels. The selected channel is memorised when the transceiver is turned off.

Page 10 (1,1)

RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT
q Select the desired operating channel with [Y]/[Z]. When a signal is received: indicator appears on the display. Squelch opens and audio is emitted from the speaker. [Y]
- Further adjustment of [VOL] may be necessary at this point. [Z]
w Push and hold [PTT] to transmit then speak into the microphone.
Do not hold the transceiver too Appears close to your mouth or speak too loudly. This may distort the sig- [PTT] nal. The transmit indicator appears on the display.
e Release [PTT] to return to receive. IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of the transmitted signal, pause a few sec. after pushing [PTT], hold the transceiver 10 to 15 cm from your mouth and speak at a normal voice level. NOTE: The transceiver has an auto power save function to conserve the battery power. The power save function activates automatically when no signal is received for 5 sec.

Page 11 (1,1)

Talk Range The IC-4088SR is designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the eld. However, the single most important factor in transmit range (talk power) is the surrounding environment. These radios are line of sight radios and as such, transmission range are 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 the talk power range. Optimal range: wide, open areas free of obstructions. Medium range: large buildings or trees blocking your line of sight. Minimum range: mountainous areas or areas of heavy foliage.

Page 12 (1,1)

I Setting the group code
The IC-4088SR 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 members transceivers. To turn ON the group mode operation: q Push [MODE] to enter set mode.
- - - (group mode OFF) appears on the display.

GROUP MODE (CTCSS)

w Push [Y] or [Z] to select the de- [MODE] sired code number. [Y] e Push [MODE] twice to set the group code number and exit set [Z] mode. To cancel the group mode operation: q Push [MODE] to enter set mode.

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 a specic 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 privateanyone can receive your calls. The IC-4088SR is equipped with 38 tone codes for CTCSS GROUP MODE use. Selecting a code applies it to all 8 operating channels. Each push of [PTT] superimposes your group code over your transmit signal; and, only signals containing the same code can open your squelch. To temporarily hear all signals (including noise) push and hold [MODE]. Do not use CTCSS GROUP MODE if you want to be able to hear signals on all channels.
