[. . . ] Such a connection will damage the transceiver. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source that is DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will be protected by this fuse, higher fuse values will not give any protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be ruined. DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. DO NOT connect the transceiver to a power source using Versions of the IC-A200 which display the "CE" symbol on the serial number seal, comply with the essential requirements of the 89/336/EEC directive for Electromagnetic Compatibility. reverse polarity. This connection will not only blow fuses but also may damage the transceiver. i TABLE OF CONTENTS DO NOT place unit in a non-secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children.

The following functions are available when the microphone is taken off from the hook or put back on hook: Automatic scan starts when putting on hook. 7) i SCAN SWITCH [SCAN] Starts and stops the scan function: · VFO mode: VFO scan function. 8) · "LOCK OUT" appears on the display. o VFO/MEMORY SWITCH [V/M]/[MW] Push to toggle the VFO mode or the Memory mode. 4) · "X" and memory channel number appear when memory mode is selected. · The transceiver has 20 memory channels. When VFO mode is selected; ·Push and hold this switch for 5 sec. In this manual, optional functions are indicated by " " Icon. 2 When Memory mode is selected; ·Push and hold this switch for 5 sec. to turn the "Memory name write mode" ON. 1 PANEL DESCRIPTION t TX INDICATOR (p. 10) y u VOLUME LEVEL INDICATORS Shows the AF volume level(while receiving). 12) I Dualwatch Dualwatch monitors priority channel while you are receiving an other channel (VFO or memory channel). · If a signal is received on priority channel, dualwatch pauses on priority channel until the signal disappears. · To transmit on the selected channel during dualwatch, push and hold PTT. 250 msec. Priority channel 5 sec. VFO frequency or memory channel ï Operation q Select the desired operating channel (VFO or Memory channel). e To cancel dualwatch, push [PRI] again. 7 MEMORY PROGRAMMING I Programming a memory channel The transceiver has 20 memory channels for storage of often -used frequencies. In this way you can "customize" transceiver operations to suit your preferences and operating style. 5 D Beep tones ON/OFF Confirmation beep tones normally sound when you push a key. These can be turned ON or OFF as you prefer. D Entering initial set mode q While pushing and holding [V/M] + [TS(DIAL)], push [POWER] sw to turn power ON. · The transceiver enters initial set mode and "MN", "BP", "ST" or "PR" (p. 11) appears on the display. D Side tones ON/OFF When using an optional headset such as those from the David Clark Co. via the adapter, the transceiver outputs your transmitted voice to the headset for monitoring. · Optional OPC-871 HEADSET ADAPTER is required. w Push [TS(DIAL)] to select the desired item as described below and at right. r Push [SCAN] to exit initial set mode and select the previous operating mode. D Memory names This item allows you to display a memory name instead of frequency. · When a memory channel has not been programmed with a name, frequency indication appears instead. [. . . ] · Mount the transceiver so that the face of the transceiver is at 90 ° to your line of sight when operating. q Microphone . . 2 13 CLONING D Data cloning 7 ] D Cloning using PC Data can be cloned to and from a PC (IBM compatible) using the optional CS-A110EURO CLONING SOFTWARE and the optional OPC-478 CLONING CABLE+ OPC-592 CLONING CABLE ADAPTER. Consult the CS-A110EURO CLONING SOFTWARE HELP message for details. Cloning allows you to quickly and easily transfer the programmed contents from one transceiver to another transceiver, or, data from PC to a transceiver using the optional CS-A110EURO cloning software. D Transceiver to transceiver cloning q Connect the OPC-591 CLONING CABLE with adapter plugs to the [MIC] jack of the master and slave transceivers. · The master transceiver is used to send data to the slave transceiver. D Cloning error When the display at right appears, a cloning error has occurred. · In this case, both transceivers automatically return to the clone standby condition and cloning must be repeated. w While pushing and holding [Y] + [Z] + [V/M], push [POWER] ON to enter cloning mode (master transceiver only--power ON only for slave transceiver).
