WORD DEFINITION

RWARNING

Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur.

CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.

NOTE

If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fi re or electric shock.

OPERATING NOTES

BUSY CHANNEL

Always listen to a channel (or observe the channel busy indicator on the display) to ensure that the channel is not already in use before transmitting.

CALLING CHANNELS (CB-11,CB-40)

In Australia channel 11 is the customary calling channel for establishing communication and channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel.

EMERGENCY CHANNELS (CB-05, CB-R5, CB-35)

In Australia except in an emergency, a CB transmitter must not be operated on UHF emergency channels 5 & 35.

NOTE: if the Radio is switched off while on an Emergency channel, the Radio when switched on again, will be on the (software preset channel) CB-11.

DATA CHANNELS (CB-22, CB-23)

No voice transmissions are permitted on data channels 22 and 23. (Note:

Voice operation is inhibited on channels 22 and 23).

REPEATER CHANNELS (CB-R1 to CB-R8)

UHF CB repeaters provide greater range through a base station that retransmits the signal. Repeaters operate utilizing two channels (repeater input/ repeater output channels). It is important to avoid operation on locally used repeater input channels (which will be in the range channels

31 to 38) or locally used repeater receiving channels (which will be in the range channels 1 to 8), unless long distance communication via the repeater facility is specifi cally required. (Please also see: Repeater Operation, Repeater Search Scan).

CLASS LICENCE

The citizen band radio service is licensed in Australia by The ACMA Radiocommunications (Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and in New

Zealand by MED General User Radio Licence for Citizens Band Radio and operation is subject to conditions contained in those licences.

PRECAUTIONS

R WARNING! NEVER

connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fi re hazard or result in an electric shock.

R WARNING! NEVER

operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention— anything less may result in an accident.

NEVER

connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 27.6 V DC. This will damage the transceiver.

NEVER

connect the transceiver to a power source using reverse polarity. This will damage the transceiver.

NEVER

cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged.

NEVER

expose the transceiver and microphone to rain, snow or any liquids. The transceiver and microphone may be damaged.

NEVER

operate or touch the transceiver and microphone with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage the transceiver and microphone.

NEVER

place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.

DO NOT

push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.

DO NOT

allow children to play with any radio equipment containing a transmitter.

DO NOT

operate the transceiver for extended periods without running the vehicle’s engine. The transceiver’s power consumption may soon exhaust the vehicles battery.

DO NOT

use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below –10°C or above +60°C.

DO NOT

set the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be affected, and the transceiver may be damaged.

DO NOT

use the chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver’s surfaces.

USE

Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver if attached.

ANTENNA INFORMATION

For radio communications, the antenna is of critical importance, to maximize your output power and receiver sensitivity. The transceiver accepts a 50

Ω antenna and less than 1:1.5 of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR).

High SWR values not only may damage the transceiver but also lead to TVI or BCI problems.

REPEATER OPERATION

Normally, a repeater has independent frequencies for receive and transmit.

■ Accessing a repeater

A repeater amplifi es received signals and re-transmits them on a different frequency, allowing you to communicate over greater distances with improved reliability. When using a repeater, the repeater output channel (‘CB-R1’ to ‘CB-R8’) must be selected.

You can search the accessible repeater in your local area using the Repeater search scan function. (p. 25) q Select the desired repeater output channel (‘CB-R1’ to

■ Repeater search scan

The repeater search scan not only searches for a signal on the repeater channels, but also access a repeater by transmitting automatically in sequence.

Thus the repeater search scan function searches for available repeater in the area even if the repeater is not currently in use.

The repeater search scan detects a signal on the repeater output channels (CB-R1 to CB-R8)* only. Therefore, repeater availability cannot be guaranteed even the repeater scan is stopped, because the scan will stop if any activity is detected. (The scan is cancelled when receiving a signal, such as stations communicating in simplex operation on a repeater output channel.)

In addition to the tone squelch operation for silent stand-by, the SelCall operation is available. SelCall is an abbreviation for “Selective Calling.” In tone squelch operation, there are 155 ways to make an individual call with CTCSS tone frequencies/DTCS codes versus 100,000 ways to make an individual call with SelCall using 5-tone.

SelCall allows you to selectively call another unit that is operating on the same channel.

SelCall can also call the entire group on that channel using tone squelch code.

The caller station code/name, Answer Back function, etc. are available with SelCall operation. A variety of functions are available depending on the setting with the CS-440 CLONING

SOFTWARE . See the help fi le for setting details.

NOTE:

■ Troubleshooting

If your transceiver seems to be malfunctioning, please check the following points before sending it to a service center.

PROBLEM

The transceiver’s power will not turn ON.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Power connector has a poor contact.

• Polarity of the power connection is reversed.

SOLUTION REF.

• Check the connector pins.

• Re-connect the power cable observing the proper polarity.

• Check the cause, then replace the fuse.
