[. . . ] NOTE: The transceiver has a power save function to conserve the battery power. The power save function activates automatically when no signal is received for 5 sec. To prevent accidental prolonged transmission, etc. , the ICM72 has a time-out timer function. of continuous transmission. t Push to transmit y Release to receive 4 w Set the volume and squelch level. YZ e Push [Y]/[Z] to select the desired channel. - When receiving a signal, " " indicator appears while audio is emitted from the speaker. - Further adjustment of [VOL] may be necessary at this point. r Push [H/L·LOCK] to select the output power, if necessary. - "LOW" appears when low power is selected; "MID" appears when middle power is selected; no indication when high power is selected. power to conserve battery power, choose high power for longer distance communications. - Some channels are for low power only. q Power ON w Set volume r Set output power w Set the squelch level w Set the squelch level e Select the channel Microphone Speaker t Push and hold [PTT] to transmit, and speak into the microphone. - The transmit indicator appears while transmitting. - Channel 70 cannot be used for transmission. y Release [PTT] to receive. 9 4 BASIC OPERATION I Call channel programming The call channel key is used to select Channel 9 by default, however, you can program your most often-used channel in each channel group for quick recall. several times to select the desired channel group (USA, INT, CAN) to be programmed. to select the call channel. · "CALL" and call channel number appear. I Lock function This function electronically locks all keys (except for [PTT], [ ] and [H/L·LOCK]) to prevent accidental channel changes and function access. You may replace the factory-set opening comment with a comment of your own. The comment may be up to 16 characters long.

AquaQuake helps drain water away from the speaker housing (water that might otherwise muffle the sound coming from the speaker). Push and hold both [16·9] and [H/L·LOCK]. · A low beep tone sounds for 9 sec. · The transceiver never accepts a key operation while the AquaQuake function is activated. And this function won't be activated when an optional speaker-microphone or headset is connected.

D Opening comment programming q While pushing and holding [SCAN·DUAL], turn power ON. · "OC" is displayed and the 1st character of the currently programmed comment blinks. 4 w While pushing and holding [ push [CH/WX·U/I/C]. ], YZ w Push [Y]/[Z] to select a character. · The 1st character of the currently programmed name or comment blinks. YZ e Push [Y]/[Z] to select a character. e Push [H/L·LOCK] to move to the YZ right; then push [Y]/[Z] to select a character. · Pushing [16·9], moves to left r Push [H/L·LOCK] to move to the YZ right; then push [Y]/[Z] to select a character. · Pushing [16·9], moves to left r Continue until the desired characters have been selected, then push [CH/WX·U/I/C] to return to normal operation. t Continue until the desired characters have been selected, then push [CH/WX·U/I/C] to return to normal operation. The programmed opening comment is briefly displayed or scrolled when the transceiver is powered ON. However, the opening comment indication can be skipped by pushing [16·9]. 13 5 SCAN OPERATION I Scan types Scanning is an efficient way to quickly locate signals over a wide frequency range. In addition, the "Weather alert" and "Auto scan" functions are also available for scanning. These functions can be activated simultaneously, depending on the settings on the SET mode. (pgs. [. . . ] NOTE: The microphone is located at the top of the speaker-microphone, as shown in the diagram above. To maximize the readability of your transmitted signal (voice), hold the microphone approx. 2. 5 cm (1 inch) from your mouth, and speak in a normal voice level. IMPORTANT: KEEP the transceiver's [SP MIC] connector cap attached when the speaker-microphone is not in use. Water will not get into the transceiver even if the cover is not attached; however, the terminals (pins) will become rusty, or the transceiver will function abnormally if the connector has become wet.
