after 2 sec.
The display shows the approx. voltage in 0.5 V steps. When the battery voltage is lower than 4.5 V, LOW V appears. Charge the battery pack or place new dry cells in the battery case in this case. If OVER V appears, UNPLUG the external DC plug immediately. Connected voltage is over 16 V and could damage the transceiver.

Q appears above the main band.
s Operating band selection
The VHF display can also receive UHF, avionics and VHF weather channels.*2 The UHF display can also receive VHF band signals. Using this capability, the transceiver can receive 2 frequencies simultaneously on either the VHF or UHF band. In addition, a display can be turned OFF to use the transceiver as a mono band transceiver. q Select the desired band with [MAIN]. w Push [BAND] several times to select the desired band.

REPEATER OPERATION

s General
When using a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by the offset frequency. (p. 20) It is convenient to program repeater information into memory channels. (p. 22) q Assign the main band to the desired display with [MAIN]. w Set the receive frequency (repeater output frequency). e Push [(TONE)DUP] for 2 sec. once to select DUP or twice to select DUP.
DUP or DUP appears to indicate the transmit frequency for minus shift or plus shift, respectively. When the auto repeater function is in use (U.S.A. version only), this selection and step r are not necessary. (p. 21)
Some repeaters require DTMF tones or a 1750 Hz tone to be accessed. In this case, perform the following instead of step r at left with the required tone. DTMF TONES (IC-W32A only) While pushing [PTT], push the desired digit key(s) to transmit DTMF tones.
The transceiver has 4 DTMF memory channels. See p. 26 for details.

Refer to the next page for tone frequency settings.
1750 Hz TONE (Europe, Italy and U.K. versions only) While pushing [PTT], push and hold [CALL] for 1 to 2 sec. to transmit a 1750 Hz tone burst signal.
Pushing [PTT] 2 times quickly also transmits a 1750 Hz tone. Release [PTT] briey, then push [PTT] again to talk in this case.
t Push and hold [PTT] to transmit.
The displayed frequency automatically changes to the transmit frequency (repeater input frequency). If oFF appears, check the offset frequency. (p. 20)

POSSIBLE CAUSE

The battery is exhausted. (A slight current ows in the circuits even when the power is OFF). Poor plug connection to the external DC power cable.

SOLUTION

Charge the battery pack or place new dry cell batteries in the battery case. (Remove the battery pack if you will not be using the transceiver for a long time.) Check the connector or remove and replace the cable. Set squelch to automatic (AT). Set the desired bands [VOL] to a suitable level. Charge the battery pack or place new dry cell batteries in the battery case. Set an amateur frequency. Set to simplex. Push [H/L] to select high power. Push [VFO] to select VFO mode. Push [BAND] to select an amateur band or avionics band. Push [(CALL)LOCK] for 2 sec. to cancel the function. Set squelch to automatic (AT) or the squelch closed point (SQ1 or more).
