User manual ICOM IC-V220

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] · Use the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-119/BC-121/BC144 for rapid charging, BC-146 for regular charging) only. NEVER use other manufacturers' chargers. The optional BP-209, BP-210 or BP-222 battery packs include rechargeable Ni-Cd(Ni-MH: BP-210) batteries and can be charged approx. Charge the battery pack before first operating the transceiver or when the battery pack becomes exhausted. If you want to charge the battery pack more than 300 times, the following points should be observed: · Avoid overcharging­batteries must be removed from the charger to stop charging. Batteries should not be charged for more than 20 hours after the LED indicator turns green. · Use the battery until it becomes almost completely exhausted under normal conditions. D Battery pack life When the operating period becomes extremely short even after charging the battery pack fully, a new battery pack is needed. 3 NOTE: The charger rapidly charges a battery pack to a specified level, not a completed level, to prevent overcharging. Leave the battery pack in the charger for a few more hours (up to 15 hours; depending on battery condition) after the LED indicator turns green, to charge the battery completely. 10 3 BATTERY PACKS ` 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. NOTE: Output power is automatically reduced to 1 W to retain sufficient power in case of an emergency, etc. D CAUTIONS · Use ALKALINE batteries only. e Push and hold [W/N] until a beep (Pi) is emitted. r Push [PTT] twice to choose the 10 digit of the desired channel. y Push [PTT] eight times to choose the 1 digit of the desired channel. i Turn the power OFF, and then ON again. 13 SET MODE 4 · IC-V220 Frequency channel list No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Freq. * 154. 5700 154. 6000 151. 5125 151. 6250 151. 6250 151. 6550 151. 6550 151. 6850 151. 6850 W/N N*1 N*1 N*1 W N W N W N N*1 W N N*1 W N W N N*1 W N (Unit: MHz) *1: Fixed to N-FM mode. *2: MURS W/N: W-Wide FM, N-Narrow FM (default) MURS Red Red Note Blue*2 Green*2 No Freq. * W/N N*1 W N W N N*1 W N W N W N W N W N Note MURS . 21 151. 8800 22 151. 8950 23 151. 8950 24 151. 9250 25 151. 9250 26 151. 9400 27 151. 9550 28 151. 9550 29 154. 4900 30 154. 4900 31 154. 5150 32 154. 5150 33 154. 5400 34 154. 5400 35 158. 4000 36 158. 4000 4 MURS Purlpe Purlpe 10 151. 7000 11 151. 7150 12 151. 7150 13 151. 7600 14 151. 7750 15 151. 7750 16 151. 8050 17 151. 8050 18 151. 8200 19 151. 8350 20 151. 8350 14 4 SET MODE D IC-F21BR (UHF) SETTING THE OPERATION FREQUENCY The operating frequency can be selected from GMRS ( Plus 7 frequencies shared with FRS) and BRS frequencies. (See right. ) Select the frequencies you desire from the frequency table and assign them to CH 1 and CH 2. · Default settings are as follows; CH 1: Operating CH No. 0 (OFF) q While pushing and holding [PTT], [MONI] and [W/N], turn [OFF/VOL] to power ON. w Select the desired CH 1 or CH 2 that you want to assign the frequency to. e Push and hold [W/N] until a beep (Pi) is emitted. [. . . ] · Push the [MONI] switch momentarily to select the inaudible condition. 5 Only signals containing the proper tone are received D TIME-OUT TIMER After continuous transmission for a pre-programmed period, the time-out timer is activated, causing the transceiver to stop transmitting and automatically selects receive. · The time-out timer function is automatically turned ON when 3 min. 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. 22 5 OPERATION ` Setting squelch level The squelch circuit mutes the received audio signal depending on the signal strength.
