IC-A24 IC-A6 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as "Occupational Use Only", meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is W ARN ING NOT intended for use by the "General Population" in an uncontrolled environment. [. . . ] 34) D Setting the side tone level q Push [PTT] to turn the transmit mode ON. w During transmit mode, rotate [DIAL] to adjust the monitoring level. · `ST--0' is OFF and `ST--10' is Max. level. I Accessing 121. 5 MHz emergency frequency The IC-A24 and IC-A6 can set to the 121. 5 MHz emergency frequency quickly. This function can be activated even when the key lock function is in use. w Push [CLR·DEL] to exit from the emergency frequency. NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset at high volume levels for long period. If so, reduce the monitor level or discontinue use. I Setting beep tone The beep tone which sounds at the push of a switch can be set, if desired. q Push , then push [8·BEEP] to enter the beep tone setting mode. w Rotate [DIAL] to set the beep level. · `BEP-- 0' is OFF and `BEP-- 9' is Max. level. I Lock function The lock function prevents accidental frequency changes and accidental function activation. q Push , then push [7· ] to turn the lock function ON. w To turn the function OFF, repeat step q above. 11 e Push [CLR·DEL] to exit the beep tone set mode. MEMORY OPERATION I Memory channel selection The transceiver has 200 memory channels for storage of often-used frequencies along with 6-character notes. q Push [MR·MW] to select memory mode. · Memory BANK number and memory CH number appears. 4 3 4 I Transferring memory contents This function transfers a memory channel's contents into the frequency mode. This is useful when searching for signals around a memory channel's frequency. q Push [MR·MW] to select memory mode. w Select the desired memory channel to be transferred using [DIAL] or keypad. e Push , then push [MR·MW] to transfer the memory channel's contents into the frequency mode. · BANK number and memory CH number disappears as frequency mode is automatically selected and the memory contents are transferred. Using [DIAL]: w Push , then push [0·BANK], and rotate [DIAL] to select the desired memory BANK number. Push and push [0·BANK] (or push [CLR·DEL]) to exit the BANK selection mode. e Rotate [DIAL] to select the desired memory CH number. · If no memory CH is programmed in the selected BANK, no memory CH selection is available. Using the Keypad: w Push , and push [0·BANK], then push appropriate digit key ([0·BANK] to [9·TAG]) to select the desired memory BANK number, then push and push [0·BANK] (or push [CLR·DEL]) to exit the BANK-selection mode. e Push 2 appropriate digit key (00 to 19) to select the desired memory CH number. · If no memory CH is programmed in the selected BANK, no memory CH selection is available. NOTE: Comments appear first when programmed, however, the transceiver can be programmed by your dealer to show the operating frequency first. Push [MR·MW] to display the comment in this case. Memory mode Frequency mode 12 4 MEMORY OPERATION I Programming a memory channel The transceiver has 200 (20 CH × 10 BANK) memory channels for storage of often-used frequencies. q Push [CLR·DEL] to select the frequency mode, if necessary. [. . . ] Push , then push [3 FROM] to select `FROM'. q Push [CLR DEL], [MR MW] or push 0 , then push [ENT WX]* to select the frequency, memory or WX CH* mode. w Push e Push , then push [4 CDI] to select the CDI mode. The course indicator shows `OF' when the desired VOR signal can not be received. w Push , then push [ANL SCAN] to start scanning. Rotate [DIAL] to change the scanning direction. `' or ` ' appears on the function display when your aircraft is off the desired course. [. . . ]
