User manual ICOM IC-30L

[. . . ] The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 2 to 4 in. (5 to 10 cm) away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical. NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. [. . . ] · Use the battery until it becomes almost completely exhausted under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging after transmitting becomes impossible. D Battery pack life When the operating period becomes extremely short even after charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is needed. 9 BATTERY PACKS 3 ` Battery case (Option) When using a BP-208 OPTIONAL BATTERY CASE attached to the transceiver, install 6 AA (R6) size alkaline batteries as illustrated below. D CAUTIONS · Use ALKALINE batteries only. · Make sure all battery cells are the same brand, type and capacity. · Never mix old and new batteries. Either of the above may cause a fire hazard or damage the transceiver. · Never incinerate used battery cells since internal battery gas may cause them to rupture. · Never expose a detached battery case to water. If the battery case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. 10 4 PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS ` General In the following explanations, programmable function names are bracketed, the specific switch used to activate the function depends on programming. D KEYPAD LOCK FUNCTION This function locks access to all programmable switches (except the switch assigned for the lock function). : Push and hold the [LOCK] switch for 1 sec. Any audio mute functions are cancelled while pushing the [MONI/AUDI] switch. Inaudible condition: This condition mutes ALL signals except those directed to you. Therefore you should check a channel's condition (busy or not) with the monitor function before transmitting. · Push the [MONI/AUDI] switch momentarily to select the inaudible condition. P0 P1 P2 P3 1 2 5 8 0 3 6 9 4 7 All signals are received P0 P1 P2 P3 1 2 5 8 0 3 6 9 4 7 Only signals containing the proper tone are received D TALK AROUND The talk around function changes duplex channels to simplex channels. · Duplex allows you to contact your base station, repeaters, etc. · Simplex allows you to contact other portable transceivers directly (portable-to-portable contact). Push the [TALK AROUND] switch one or more times to toggle the function ON and OFF. 13 PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS 4 D DTMF TRANSMISSION This function allows you to send a pre-programmed DTMF code to control a repeater, open another transceiver's squelch, etc. Manual transmission: Push desired digit keys in sequence while pushing [PTT]. e While pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the microphone at a normal voice level. · When a tone signalling system is used, the call procedure described at right may be necessary. IMPORTANT: To maximize the readability of your transmitted signal, pause a few sec. .
