1、INSTRUCTION MANUAL VHF TRANSCEIVER iV8 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Oper- ation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This de- vice may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including in- terference that may cause

2、undesired operation. IC-V8_New.qxd 02.5.23 10:55 Page A (1,1) i FOREWORD Thank you for purchasing the IC-V8 FM transceiver.

5、l. PRECAUTIONS RWARNING! NEVERhold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is

6、 vertical. RWARNING! NEVERoperate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hear- ing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or dis- continue use. NEVERconnect the transceiver to a po

7、wer source that is DC fused at more than 5 A. Accidental reverse connection will be protected by this fuse, but higher fuse values will not give any protection against such accidents and the transceiver will be ru- ined. ii WORDDEFINITION R WARING Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may o

8、ccur. CAUTIONEquipment damage may occur. NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fi re or electric shock. IC-V8_New.qxd 02.5.23 10:55 Page ii (1,1) iii PRECAUTIONScontinued NEVERattempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. Be aware that external DC power connections

9、 will charge batteries inside the battery case. This will damage not only the battery case but also the transceiver. DO NOTpush the PTT when not actually desiring to trans- mit. Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by chil- dren. DO NOToperate the transceiver near unshielded ele

10、ctrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. AVOIDusing or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below 10C (+14F) or above +60C (+140F). The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair trans- ceiver performance and invalidate the warranty. Even when t

11、he transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still fl ows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the bat- tery pack or installed Ni-Cd batteries will become exhausted. For USA only: Caution: Changes or modifi cations to th

12、is transceiver, not ex- pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to op- erate this transceiver under FCC regulations.

14、 to the following guidelines: DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to ex- ceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the an- tenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by th

15、e manufacturer for use with this radio. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX indicator” is lit. You can cause the r

16、adio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch. ALWAYS use Icom authorized accessories (antennas, batter- ies, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized acces- sories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. IC-V8_New.qxd 02.5.23 10:55 Page v (1,1) vi ALWAYS ke

17、ep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting, and only use the Icom belt-clips which are listed in this manual when attaching the radio to your belt, etc. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches)

18、from your mouth, and slightly off to one side. The information listed above provides the user with the in- formation needed to make him or her aware of RF expo- sure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. Electro- magnetic Interference/Com

19、patibility. During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagn

We would like to walk you through a few bas

32、ic operational steps to make your fi rst “On The Air” use an enjoyable experience. D About default setting The VOL control function can be traded with Y/Z keys function in INITIAL SET MODE. However, in this QUICK REFERENCE, the fac- tory default setting (VOL controls audio output level) is used for

33、simple instructions. D Basic operation 1. Turning ON the transceiver Although you have purchased a brand new transceiver, some settings may be changed from the factory defaults be- cause of the QC process. Resetting the CPU is necessary to start from factory default. While pushing SQL and DCLR, push

34、 POWER for 1 sec. to reset the CPU and turn power ON. 2. Adjusting output level Rotate VOL to set the desired audio level. 3. Adjusting the squelch level While pushing and holding SQL, push Y or Z to set the squelch level. POWER SQL DCLR Y Z VOL SQL IC-V8_New.qxd 02.5.23 10:55 Page IV (1,1) V QUICK

35、REFERENCE 4. Tune the desired frequency The up/down keys, Y/Z, will allow you to tune to the frequency that you want to operate on. Page 18 will instruct you on how to adjust the tuning step. Push Y or Z to adjust the frequency. Direct frequency input from the keypad is also available. To enter the

36、desired frequency, enter 6-digits starting from the 100 MHz digit. Enter three to five digits then push #ENT to set the frequency. When a digit is mistakenly input, push D.CLR to abort inputting. 5. Transmit and receive Push and hold PTT to transmit, then speak into microphone; re- lease to receive.
