User manual ICOM IC-228H

[. . . ] This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for "Occupational Use Only". In addition, your Icom radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans: · FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. · American National Standards Institute (C95. 1 ­ 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. · American National Standards Institute (C95. 3 ­ 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields ­ RF and Microwave. C AU TIO N To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines: · DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. [. . . ] The following are additionally required: · One AD-99 (depends on version. ). · An AC adaptor (may be supplied with the BC-144 depending on version).

(See right. ) CTCSS operation provides communication with silent standby since you will only receive calls from group members using the same CTCSS number. You can assign different numbers to CH 1 to CH 15 independently. q While pushing and holding [PTT], [MONI], [W/N], turn [OFF/VOL] to power ON. w Select the desired CH 1 to CH 15 that you want to assign the CTCSS tone frequency to. e Push and hold [MONI] until a beep (Pi) is emitted. r Push [PTT] the necessary number of times to choose the 10 digit of the desired channel from the channel list. t Push [MONI]. · Confirmation beep is emitted. 17) y Push [PTT] the necessary number of times to choose the 1 digit of the desired channel from the frequency list. i Turn the power OFF, and then ON again. 28 as CH1; q While pushing and holding [PTT], [MONI] and [W/N], turn [OFF/VOL] to power ON. [. . . ] D POWER SAVE FUNCTION The power save function reduces the current drain to conserve battery power. · The power save function is automatically turned ON when no operation is performed or no signal is received for 5 sec. 21 OPERATION 5 ` Setting squelch level The squelch circuit mutes the received audio signal depending on the signal strength. Scan proceeds in sequence from lower channel to higher channel numbers. q While pushing [PTT] and [W/N], turn the transceiver's power on to enter the squelch adjustment mode. [. . . ]
