BATTERY PACKS AND ACCESSORIES

s About the battery pack

To program a memory, refer to p. 22. M (or a memory name) appears.
Push [CALL] to select a call channel.
What is VFO? VFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency Oscillator. Frequencies for transmitting and receiving are generated and controlled by the VFO.
C, VHF CALL or UHF CALL appears.

s Main band selection

This transceiver can receive 2 band signals simultaneously. To change frequency or to activate a function, you must designate a band, VHF or UHF, as the main band. All switches affect the designated main band only.
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.
- - - - - appears when the display is OFF. Rotating [DIAL] while pushing [BAND] also selects the display.

MAIN MAIN

NOTE: VHF and UHF memory channels are called up from the respective operating band, regardless of left/right displays. 5 kHz tuning steps cannot be selected in the VHF display when both displays are set for the UHF band. The sub band is muted when crossband full duplex is deactivated and the main band is transmitting. The sub band is muted under the following conditions even when crossband full duplex is activated:
- Both displays show the same band. - Sub band is the avionics band and main band is VHF transmission. - Sub band is a weather channel and main band is UHF transmission.

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.
r Push [TONE] to activate the subaudible tone encoder, according to repeater requirements.
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)

y Release [PTT] to receive. u Push and hold [SQL] to check whether the other stations transmit signal can be directly received or not.
CONVENIENT Tone scan function: When you dont know the subaudible tone used for a repeater, the tone scan is convenient for detecting the tone frequency. Push [(#)T SCAN] for 2 sec. to activate. See p. 33 for more information. 19

s Subaudible tones

Some repeaters require subaudible tones to be accessed. Subaudible tones are superimposed over your normal signal and must be set in advance.

s Offset frequency

When communicating through a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by an amount determined by the offset frequency.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your transceiver seems to be malfunctioning, please check the following points before sending it to a service center. PROBLEM

No power comes on.

pgs. 9, 10

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). Push [BAND] to select an amateur band, memory channel or avionics band.
