Receiving and transmitting
CAUTION:
Attach an antenna before transmitting.
Transmitting without an antenna may damage the
transceiver.
Receiving:
Rotate [VOL] to turn ON the power.1)
Select a channel. (p. 2-2)2)
When receiving a call, adjust the audio output level3)
to a comfortable listening level.
Transmitting:
Wait until the channel is clear to avoid interference.1)
While holding down [PTT], speak at a normal voice
level.
Release [PTT] to receive.2)
IMPORTANT:
To maximize the readability of your signal:
1. After pushing [PTT], pause briefly before you
start speaking.
2. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches)
from your mouth, then speak at a normal voice
level.
Transmitting notes
•Transmitinhibitfunction
The transceiver has several inhibit functions which
restrict transmission under the following conditions:
- The channel is busy.
However, depending on the presetting, you can
transmit when the call includes an unmatching (or
matching) CTCSS (DTCS) tone.
- The selected channel is a ‘receive only’ channel.
•Time-outtimer(TOT)
If continuous transmission exceeds the preset time-
out timer limit, transmission is cut off.
•Penaltytimer
The time-out timer cuts off transmission, further
transmission is inhibited for the preset penalty timer
period.
Receiving a Stun, Kill, and Revive call
The dispatcher can send a 2-Tone or 5-Tone that will
stun, kill or revive your transceiver.
When the Stun call is received, beeps sound, and you
cannot receive or transmit. Receiving a Revive call
or cloning the transceiver is necessary to operate the
transceiver again.
When the Kill call is received, beeps sound, and
the transceiver becomes unusable. Cloning the
transceiver is necessary to operate the transceiver
again, in this case.
NOTE:
These functions and operations may or may not be available or different, depending on the presetting.
Ask your dealer for preset information.

2BASIC OPERATION
2-4
When holding down [Emergency] for the set time
period, the transceiver enters the Emergency mode
then the countdown starts.
After the countdown, the transceiver transmits an
Emergency call once, or repeatedly, on the specified
Emergency channel. Countdown beeps sound for the
set timer period.
When no Emergency channel is specified, it transmits
the call on the previously selected channel.
If you want to cancel the Emergency call, turn OFF
the transceiver, or hold down [Emergency] for the set
time period again during the first countdown.
If your transceiver is set for the Silent operation, you
can transmit an Emergency call without beeps and
the LED indicator lighting.
NOTE:
Depending on the presetting, the following
functions are automatically activated. Ask your
dealer for details.
•AutoTXfunction
After an Emergency call transmission, the transceiver
transmits the audio from the microphone for the set
time period.
•AutoRXfunction
After the Emergency call transmission, the transceiver
stands by in the audible mode for the set time period.

About other Emergency calls
Lone Worker Emergency call
When the Lone Worker function is ON, the transceiver
enters the Emergency mode then the countdown for
the Emergency call transmission starts when either/
or:
1. No operation occurs for the set time period.
2. The acceleration sensor detects a lower
acceleration than the set value for the set time
period.
After a set time period has passed, an Emergency call
is automatically transmitted once, or repeatedly.
If the user pushes any key during the first countdown,
the transceiver exits the Emergency mode, and the
Emergency call is cancelled.
You can also cancel the Emergency call by turning
OFF the transceiver.
To turn ON the Lone Worker function, see page 1-4.
Man Down Emergency call
When the transceiver leans past the preset angle for a
set time period, the transceiver enters the Emergency
mode, and then a countdown starts.
After a set time period has passed, an Emergency call
is automatically transmitted once, or repeatedly.
If the transceiver is placed again within the preset
angle, during the first countdown, the transceiver
exits the Emergency mode, and the Emergency call is
cancelled.
You can also cancel the Emergency call by turning
OFF the transceiver.
Motion Detection Emergency call
When the acceleration sensor keeps detecting a
higher acceleration than the preset value for the set
time period, the transceiver enters the Emergency
mode then the countdown starts.
After the set time period has passed, an Emergency
call is automatically transmitted once, or repeatedly.
Countdown beeps sound for the set time period.
If the user holds down [Emergency] for the set time
period during the first countdown, the Emergency call
is canceled.

3NXDN™ OPERATION
3-2
NXDN™ operation
The transceiver provides Icom Digital Advanced
System (IDAS™) that meets the 6.25 kHz emission
mask requirements for narrow banding, and increases
efficiency of channel allocation and use of spectrum
using the NXDN™ common air interface.
NOTE:
During the NXDN™ system operation, BIIS 1200
and MDC 1200 system operations are not usable.
You can use a preset operation type in a zone.
Ask your dealer for details.
Conventional mode
The Conventional system enables normal digital
mode channel management by manually selecting a
channel.
Trunking mode
The Trunk system enables further effective channel
management by sharing a minimum number of
channels with a large number of users.
NOTE:
While in the Trunking mode, you can receive and
transmit digital calls in the same way as in the
Conventional mode.

MDC 1200 system operation
The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your
transceiver’s capabilities. You can receive or transmit
PTT ID and Emergency calls. You can also receive
Radio Check, Stun, and Revive calls.
An additional feature of the MDC 1200 system
included in Icom transceivers is called aliasing. Each
transceiver on the system has a unique ID number.
Aliasing is a substitute for this ID number and you can
set a ringer for each station ID. When you receive a
call from the specific transceiver, you can distinguish
it by its ringer type.
NOTE:
The MDC 1200 system operation may not be
available, depending on the presetting. Ask your
dealer for preset information.
