[. . . ] The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm away from the lips, and the transceiver is vertical. IMPORTANT READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL-- This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-U400. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source other than the BP-215L. Such a connection will ruin the transceiver. NEVER charge battery packs except in the methods described in this manual. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS DEFINITION Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock R WARNING!WORD AVOID using or placing the transceiver in areas with temperatures below ­15°C or above +55°C. AVOID the use of chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they may damage the transceiver surfaces. [. . . ] Insert the supplied antenna into the antenna connector and screw down the antenna as shown in the diagram at right. CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna may damage the transceiver.

Use the supplied screws only when attaching the belt clip. 6 BASIC OPERATION I Channel selection D Channel 16 Channel 16 is the distress channel. It is used for establishing initial contact with another station and for emergency communications. Channel 16 is automatically monitored during both dualwatch and tri-watch. Push [DIAL] to return to the condition before selecting channel 16, or push [Y]/[Z] to select operating channel. 4 D Call channel Each regular channel group has separate leisure-use call channel. 11) and are used to store your most often used channels in each channel group for quick recall. to select the call channel; of the selected channel group. · The "CALL" indicator and call channel number appear. 17, 18) PRIORITY SCAN CH 01 CH 02 Set the tag channels (scanned channel) before scanning. (Clear the tag channels which may inconveniently stop scanning, such as those for digital communication use. ) Choose priority or normal scan in SET mode. 17) NORMAL SCAN CH 01 CH 02 WX* CH 16 CH 03 CH 88 CH 03 CH 05 CH 04 CH 05 CH 04 Priority scan searches through all tag channels in sequence while monitoring channel 16. When a signal is detected on channel 16, scan pauses until the signal disappears; when a signal is detected on a channel other than channel 16, scan becomes dualwatch until the signal disappears. 12 Normal scan, like priority scan, searches through all tag channels in sequence. However, unlike priority scan, channel 16 is not checked unless channel 16 is set as a tag channel. SCAN OPERATION 5 I Setting tag channels For more efficient scanning, add desired channels as tag channels or clear preset tag channels if they are unwanted channels. Tag channels can be assigned to each channel group (USA, INT) independently. q Select the desired channel group (USA, INT) by pushing [DIAL·I/U] for 1 sec. , if desired. e Push [SCN·TAG] for 1 sec. , to be set the displayed channel as a tag channel. · "TAG" appears in the function display. I Starting a scan Set scan type, weather alert function, scan resume timer and auto scan function in advance, using SET mode. 17, 18) q Select the desired channel group (USA, INT) by pushing [DIAL·I/U] for 1 sec. , if desired. · When the weather alert function is in use, select the desired weather channel with [DIAL] and the channel selector. w Push [SCN] to start priority or normal scan. · The comment indicator flashes "SCAN". · The sub channel readout indicates "16" during priority scan. [. . . ] · "TAG" channel is not programmed. · Push [H/L·LOCK] for 2 sec. · Beep tone is turned OFF. Receive signal cannot · Optional voice scrambler is turned OFF. · Scramble code is not set correctly. 23 12 CH 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 Transmit 156. 050 156. 100 156. 150 156. 200 156. 250 156. 300 156. 350 156. 400 156. 450 156. 500 CHANNEL LIST Frequency (MHz) Transmit 156. 550 156. 600 156. 700 156. 800 156. 900 156. 950 157. 000 Receive 156. 550 156. 600 156. 650 156. 700 156. 750 156. 800 156. 850 161. 500 161. 550 161. 600 Frequency (MHz) Transmit 157. 050 157. 100 157. 150 157. 200 157. 250 157. 300 157. 350 157. 400 157. 500 157. 550 Receive 161. 650 161. 700 161. 750 161. 800 161. 850 161. 900 161. 950 162. 000 162. 100 162. 150 Frequency (MHz) Transmit 156. 025 156. 075 156. 125 156. 175 156. 225 156. 275 156. 325 156. 375 156. 425 Receive 157. 850 160. 625 160. 675 160. 725 160. 775 160. 825 160. 875 160. 925 156. 375 156. 425 Frequency (MHz) Transmit 156. 475 Rx only 156. 575 156. 625 156. 675 156. 725 156. 875 156. 925 156. 975 157. 025 Receive 156. 475 156. 525 156. 575 156. 625 156. 675 156. 725 156. 875 161. 525 161. 575 161. 625 Frequency (MHz) Transmit 157. 075 157. 125 157. 175 157. 225 157. 275 157. 325 157. 375 157. 425 Receive 161. 675 161. 725 161. 775 161. 825 161. 875 161. 925 157. 375 157. 425 · International channels Frequency (MHz) Receive 160. 650 160. 700 160. 750 160. 800 160. 850 156. 300 160. 950 156. 400 156. 450 156. 500 CH 11 12 14 16 18 19 20 CH 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 30 31 CH CH 69 70 71 72 73 74 77 78 79 80 CH 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 37A 157. 850 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 13 156. 650 15 156. 750 17 156. 850 · USA channels (for U.
