DTransmitting notes

Transmit inhibit function The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict transmission under the following conditions: - he channel is in mute condition (Inaudible condition; T does not appear.) - The channel is busy. - Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received.
(Depending on the pre-setting.)
w hile pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the microW phone at a normal voice level. e Release [PTT] to return to receive. I MPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your signal; 1. Pause briefly after pushing [PTT]. 2. old the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from H your mouth, then speak into the microphone at a normal voice level. 12
- The selected channel is a receive only channel. Time-out timer After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time period, the time-out timer is activated, causing the transceiver to stop transmitting. Penalty timer Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer. PTTID call The transceiver sends the ID code (DTMF or digital ANI) automatically when [PTT] is pushed (beginning of transmission) and released (end of transmission) depends on the setting.
DTX code channel selection
If the transceiver has [TX Code CH Select] assigned to it, the indication can be toggled between the operating channel number (or name) and TX code channel number (or name). When the TX code channel number (or name) is displayed, [CH Up] or [CH Down] selects the TX code channel. USING [TX CODE CH SELECT] KEY: q ush [TX Code CH Select] a TX code channel number P (or name) appears. w ush [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select the desired TX code P channel.
P ush [TX Code CH Select] again to return to the operating channel number indication.

DDTMF transmission

If the transceiver has [DTMF Autodial] assigned to it, the automatic DTMF transmission function is available. Up to 8 DTMF channels are available. TO SELECT A TX CODE: q Push [DTMF Autodial] a DTMF channel appears. w ush [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select the desired DTMF P channel. e ush [DTMF Autodial] to transmit the DTMF code in the P selected DTMF channel.

e ush [Call] to transmit the selected TX code. P USING [TX CODE CH UP]/[TX CODE CH DOWN] KEY: If the transceiver has [TX Code CH Up] or [TX Code CH Down] assignment, the programmed TX code channel can be selected directly when pushed.

User set mode

User set mode is accessed at power ON and allows you to set seldom-changed settings. In this case you can customize the transceiver operation to suit your preferences and operating style. Entering the user set mode: q hile pushing and holding [Side2] and [Side3], rotate W [VOL] to turn the power ON. Then, push and hold [P0] for 1 sec. to enter user set mode. w ush [P0] several times to select the appropriate item. P Then push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to set the desired level/ condition.
vailable set mode functions are Backlight, Beep, Beep A Level, SQL Level, Mic Gain, Battery Voltage, Signal Moni and Lone Worker.

Emergency Call

The emergency call can be performed using [Emergency]. (p. 9) The transceiver will send a DTMF, 5-tone or MDC 1200 emergency signal* one time only or repeatedly on the emergency channel. However, when no emergency channel is specified, the signal is transmitted on the previously selected channel. If you want to cancel the emergency call, push and hold the key again before transmitting the call. * Depending on the operating model type.

Man Down Emergency Call

This function requires the optional UT-124R man down unit and can be performed in conventional mode. The man down emergency call function transmits an emergency call automatically when the transceiver has been left in a horizontal position. After the emergency call, the transceiver performs transmission and reception alternately with receiving a signal and emitting audio. When the emergency reset signal is received, the function is cancelled. IMPORTANT: Set an emergency channel individually, to provide certain emergency call operation is recommended.

BATTERY CHARGING

Caution
Misuse of Lithium-ion batteries may result in the following hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery performance.
R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery packs with Icom radios or Icom charger. Only Icom battery packs are tested and approved for use and charge with Icom radios or Icom charger. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or charger may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst. R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas with temperatures above +60C (+140F). High temperature buildup in the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery performance or shorten battery life. R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, seawater, or any other liquids. Never charge or use a wet battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. The battery is not waterproof. R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since internal battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may cause an explosion. R DANGER! NEVER solder the batter y terminals or NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the battery may rupture, emit smoke or catch fire. R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruction manual. R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately. 18

DBattery caution

R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the battery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery damage may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the surface of the battery does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may rupture or catch fire.
WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distributor. WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the battery. WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture. CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specified temperature range for the transceiver (30C to +60C; 22 F to +140F) and the battery itself (20C to +60C; 4F to +140F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the batterys performance and battery life. CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above +50C; +122F) for an extended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharging. You may use the battery until the remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature between 20C to +20C (4F to +68F).

DCharging caution

R DANGER! NEVER charge the battery pack in areas with extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight. In such environments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will activate, causing the battery to stop charging. WARNING! NEVER charge or leave the battery in the battery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the battery is not completely charged by the specified time, stop charging and remove the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rupture. WARNING! NEVER insert the transceiver (battery attached to the transceiver) into the charger if it is wet or soiled. This could corrode the battery charger terminals or damage the charger. The charger is not waterproof. CAUTION! NEVER charge the battery outside of the specified temperature range: BC-160 (0C to +40C; +32F to +104F). Icom recommends charging the battery at +20C (+68F). The battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified temperature range. Additionally, battery performance or battery life may be reduced.
