IMPORTANT
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver.

CAUTIONS

RWARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a re hazard or result in an electric shock. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection will ruin the transceiver. NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged. NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of
the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-F110S VHF TRANSCEIVER and IC-F210S UHF TRANSCEIVER.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

DEFINITION Personal injury, re hazard or electric shock RWARNING may occur. CAUTION NOTE Equipment damage may occur. If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, re or electric shock. WORD

OPERATION

I Turning power ON

q Push [ ] to turn the power ON. w If the transceiver is programmed for a start up passcode, input the digit codes as directed by your Dealer.
The keys in the table below can be used for password input: The transceiver detects numbers in the same block as identical. Therefore 01234 and 56789 are same.

I Channel selection

Several types of channel selection are available. The methods may differ according to your system setup.
e When all channel indicator LEDs still blink after inputting 4 digits, the input code number is incorrect. Turn the power off and start over in this case. KEY 4 9
NON-BANK TYPE: Push [CH UP]/[CH DN] to select the desired operating channel, in sequence; or, push one of the [CH 1] to [CH 4] keys to select a channel directly. BANK-TYPE: Push [BANK] to toggle between bank 1 and 2. AUTOMATIC SCAN TYPE: Channel setting is not necessary for this type. When turning the power ON, the transceiver automatically starts scanning. Scanning stops when receiving a call or when taking the microphone off hook.
