R CAUTION! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the

antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the

body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The

transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm

(2 to 4 in.) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.

R CAUTION! NEVER operate the transceiver with a

headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels.

R CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the bat-

tery pack.

DO NOT push PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.

AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or

in areas with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above

+60°C (+140°F).

The basic operations, transmission and reception of the trans-

ceiver are guaranteed within the speciﬁed operating temper-

ature range. However, the LCD display may not be operate

correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of

operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.

DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.

Optional unit installation should be done at authorized Icom

service center only.

The waterproof capability of the transceiver cannot be guar-

anteed if you install an unit yourself, or have it done at a non-

authorised dealer/service center.

BE CAREFUL! The IC-F70/F80 series transceivers

employ waterproof construction, which corresponds to IPX

waterproof specification, Grade 7 (1 m depth for 30 min.).

However, once the transceiver has been dropped, water-

prooﬁng cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that the trans-

ceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damaged, etc.

For U.S.A. only

CAUTION: Changes or modiﬁcations to this transceiver, not

expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to

operate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

BASIC OPERATION

■ Turning power ON

Prior to using the transceiver for the ﬁrst time, the battery

pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.

(P. 30)

q Rotate [VOL] to turn the power ON.

w If the transceiver is programmed for a start up password,

input the digit codes as directed by your dealer.

• 10-keypad* can be used for password input.

*IC-F70DT/T or IC-F80DT/T only

• The keys as below can be used for password input:

The transceiver detects numbers in the same block as identical.

Therefore “01234” and “56789” are the same.

e When the “PASSWORD” indication does not clear after

inputting 6 digits, the input code number may be incorrect.

Turn the power off and start over in this case.

■ Channel selection

Several types of channel selections are available. Methods

may differ according to your system set up.

NON-ZONE TYPE:

Push [CH Up] or [CH Down], or rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR]*

to select the desired operating channel, in sequence; or, push

one of [MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4] keys to select a channel

directly.

• Up to 16 pre-programmed channels can be selected via [ROTARY

SELECTOR].

ZONE TYPE:

Push [Zone] then push [CH Up] or [CH Down] or rotate

[ROTARY SELECTOR]* to select the desired zone.

*Depending on the pre-setting.

AUTOMATIC SCAN TYPE:

Channel setting is not necessary for this type. When turning

power ON, the transceiver automatically starts scanning.

Scanning stops when receiving a call.

BASIC OPERATION

■ Call procedure

When your system employs tone signaling (excluding CTCSS

and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary prior to voice

transmission. The tone signalling employed may be a selec-

tive calling system which allows you to call speciﬁc station(s)

only and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you.

q Select the desired TX code channel, 2/5-tone code,

Individual ID code* or Talkgroup ID code* according to

your System Operator’s instructions.

• This may not be necessary depending on programming.

• Refer to pgs. 14–16 for selection.

*Digital mode operation only.

w Push the call key (assigned to one of the dealer program-

mable keys; except for the Digital mode operation) or [PTT].

e After transmitting, the remainder of your communication

can be carried out in the normal fashion.

■ Receiving and transmitting

Receiving:

q Rotate [VOL] to turn the power ON.

w Push [CH Up] or [CH Down], or rotate [ROTARY SELEC-

TOR]* to select a channel in sequence.

*Depending on the pre-setting.

e When receiving a call, adjust the audio output level to a

comfortable listening level.

Transmitting:

Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference.

q Push [CALL] when initiating a call from your side.

• Coded audio may be heard from the transceiver, then “”

appears.

• This operation may not be necessary depending on your signal-

ing system. Ask your dealer for details.

w While pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the micro-

phone at your normal voice level.

e Release [PTT] to return to receive.

IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your signal;

1. Pause brieﬂy after pushing [PTT].

2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from

your mouth, then speak into the microphone at a normal

voice level.

The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict

transmission under the following conditions:

- The channel is in mute condition (‘Inaudible’ condition;

“”does not appear.)

- The channel is busy.

- Un-matched (or matched) CTCSS is received.

(Depending on the pre-setting.)

- Un-matched (or matched) NAC is received.*

(Depending on the pre-setting.)

- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.

*Digital mode operation only.

• Time-out timer

After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time

period, the time-out timer is activated, causing the transceiv-

er to stop transmitting.

• Penalty timer

Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further

inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer.
