User manual ICOM IC-W2A

[. . . ] NEVER EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS The explicit definitions below apply to this instruction manual. DEFINITION Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock RWARNING may occur. WORD operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use. NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a power source of more than 16 V DC. [. . . ] 21) 5 Some repeaters require DTMF tones or a 1750 Hz tone to be accessed. In this case, perform the following instead of step r at left with the required tone. DTMF TONES (IC-W32A only) While pushing [PTT], push the desired digit key(s) to transmit DTMF tones. · The transceiver has 4 DTMF memory channels. 26 for details. r Push [TONE] to activate the subaudible tone encoder, according to repeater requirements. · Refer to the next page for tone frequency settings. 1750 Hz TONE (Europe, Italy and U. K. versions only) While pushing [PTT], push and hold [CALL] for 1 to 2 sec. to transmit a 1750 Hz tone burst signal. · Pushing [PTT] 2 times quickly also transmits a 1750 Hz tone. Release [PTT] briefly, then push [PTT] again to talk in this case. t Push and hold [PTT] to transmit. · The displayed frequency automatically changes to the transmit frequency (repeater input frequency). u Push and hold [SQL] to check whether the other station's transmit signal can be directly received or not. CONVENIENT Tone scan function: When you don't know the subaudible tone used for a repeater, the tone scan is convenient for detecting the tone frequency. 19 5 REPEATER OPERATION s Subaudible tones Some repeaters require subaudible tones to be accessed. Subaudible tones are superimposed over your normal signal and must be set in advance. USING s Offset frequency When communicating through a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by an amount determined by the offset frequency. USING SET MODE SET MODE SETTING SUBAUDIBLE TONES MAIN MAIN SETTING AN OFFSET FREQUENCY MAIN MAIN T T 88. 5 Hz tone 254. 1 Hz tone 0. 6 MHz (600 kHz) offset 5. 0 MHz offset q Push [(H/L)SET] for 2 sec. w Push [(H/L)(SET)J] or [(TONE)K] several times until "RT" appears as shown above. w Select the memory (call) channel to be transferred: Push [MR] (or [CALL]) to select memory (call) mode. Rotate [DIAL] or push 2 digit keys to select the memory channel (only programmed memories can be selected). to transfer. · The contents are transferred and VFO mode is selected. D Memory/callmemory/call q Assign the main band to the desired display with [MAIN]. w Select the memory (call) channel to be transferred: Push [MR] (or [CALL]) to select memory (call) mode. Rotate [DIAL] or push 2 digit keys to select the memory channel (only programmed memories can be selected). e Push [(S. MW)MW] momentarily. · "VFO" appears in the display. NOTE: Call channels cannot be programmed in this way. MAIN S. MW MAIN for 2 sec. T SQL DUP r Rotate [DIAL] to select a memory or call channel to transfer the data. to transfer. · The contents are transferred and the original channel is selected. 23 6 MEMORY/CALL PROGRAMMING s Memory names Memory channels can be programmed with names of up to 8 characters in length. Names cannot be programmed into the call channel. D Programming memory names q Assign the main band to the desired display with [MAIN]. w Select the memory channel to be programmed: Push [MR] to select memory mode. Rotate [DIAL] or push 2 digit keys to select the memory channel (only programmed memories can be selected). to enter memory name writing mode. · The first character of the name flashes. MAIN D Frequencyname To toggle between frequency indication and memory name indication: Push [M·N] to toggle between frequency and name indications. · "NO NAME" appears when a memory channel has not been programmed with a name. MAIN M·N t Enter the desired name via the keypad or [DIAL]. · Push the appropriate keys to input the desired characters using the same convention as for telephones. [. . . ] While pushing [(VFO)CLR], turn power ON to partially reset the transceiver. s All reset Cloning standby AT POWER ON Reset the CPU before operating the transceiver for the first time, or when the internal CPU malfunctions. While pushing [SQL], [VFO] and [MR], turn power ON to reset the CPU. r Push [PTT] on the `master' transceiver to transfer the data. · "CL OUT" appears and digits (0­9, A­F) indicate the data flow. While cloning MAIN CAUTION: Resetting the CPU returns all programmed contents to their default settings. Previous operating condition appears. 38 TROUBLESHOOTING If your transceiver seems to be malfunctioning, please check the following points before sending it to a service center. · Poor plug connection to the external DC power cable. SOLUTION · Charge the battery pack or place new dry cell batteries in the battery case. (Remove the battery pack if you will not be using the transceiver for a long time. ) · Check the connector or remove and replace the cable. [. . . ]
