2 IMPORTANT READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully before using the IC-440N UH TRANSCEIVER. KEEP THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL, as it contains important operating information that may be useful in the future. EXPLICIT DEINITIONS WORD RDANGER! RWARNING! CAUTION NOTE DEINITION Personal death, serious injury or an explosion may occur. Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur. Equipment damage may occur. If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock. OPERATIONAL NOTES i. The use of the citizen band radio service is licenced in Australia by the ACMA Radiocommunications (Citizens Band Radio Stations). Class Licence and in New Zealand by the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) General User Radio Licence for Citizen Band Radio and operation is subject to conditions contained within these licences. ii. Always listen on a channel (or observe channel busy indicator) to ensure it is not already being used before transmitting. iii. In Australia, channel 11 is the customary calling channel for establishing communication. Channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel. iv. In Australia, except in an emergency, a CB transmitter shall not be operated on UH emergency channels 5 and 35. v. No voice transmissions are permitted on data channels 22 and 23 (voice operation is inhibited on these channels). vi. The user of this UH CB communications device shall not transmit selcall tones for longer than 3 seconds during any 60 second period. i Icom, Icom Inc. and the Icom logo are registered trademarks of Icom Incorporated (Japan) in Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, rance, Spain, Russia and/or other countries.

3 OPERATIONAL NOTES vii. UH CB repeaters provide greater range through a base station that re-transmits signals. Repeaters operate utilising two channels (repeater input/repeater output). It is important to avoid operation on locally used repeater input channels (which will be in the channel range 31 to 38 and 71 to 78, when they are authorised) or locally used repeater receiving channels (in the channel range 1 to 8 and 41 to 48, when they are authorised), unless long distance communication via the repeater facility is specifi cally required. See the section on repeater operation for more information. iix. Please be aware that the UH CB network may experience possible operational issues during the changeover to narrowband. This transceiver operates on 12.5 khz channel spacing. During the changeover period from 25 khz to 12.5 khz spacing, there may be some loss of quality when 12.5 khz (narrowband, 2.5 khz deviation) transmissions are received on 25 khz (wide band, 5.0 khz deviation) equipment, and vice-versa. There may also be interference due to older equipment being operated on channels adjacent to new narrowband channels, as the channel setting on these may cause some overlap. A list of currently authorised channels can be found on the ACMA website (Australia) and on the MED website in New Zealand. PRECAUTIONS R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 27.6 V DC. This will damage the transceiver. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source using reverse polarity. This will damage the transceiver. NEVER cut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver may be damaged. NEVER expose the transceiver and microphone to rain, snow or any liquids. The transceiver and microphone may be damaged. NEVER operate or touch the transceiver and microphone with wet hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage the transceiver and microphone. NEVER place the transceiver where normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury. DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit. DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment containing a transmitter. ii

4 PRECAUTIONS (Continued) DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. DO NOT operate the transceiver for extended periods without running the vehicle s engine. The transceiver s power consumption may soon exhaust the vehicles battery. DO NOT set the transceiver in a place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be affected, and the transceiver may be damaged. DO NOT use the chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the transceiver s surfaces. USE Icom microphones only (supplied or optional). Other manufacturer s microphones have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver if attached. DO NOT modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modifi cation. DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces. DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below 10 C or above +60 C. The basic operations, transmission and reception of the transceiver are guaranteed within the specifi ed operating temperature range. However, the LCD display may not be operate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas. BE CAREUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods of time. MAKE SURE to turn O the transceiver power before connecting the supplied/optional equipment. This device complies with Standard Australia Specifi cation No. AS/NZS iii

33 REPEATER OPERATION 5 Repeater operation Repeaters extend the operational range of the transceiver by re-transmitting received signals. They are usually located on the top of hills or mountains, as the elevation increases their effectiveness, allowing the user to transmit and receive over greater distances. During standard operation, or simplex, transceivers transmit and receive on the same frequency. When operating in the Duplex mode (i.e. accessing a repeater), the transceiver will transmit and receive on different frequencies. It will automatically do this when one of the repeater channels is selected. Repeater RPT-06 D Accessing Repeater A repeater amplifi es received signals and re-transmits them on a different frequency, allowing you to communicate over greater distances with improved reliability. When using a repeater, the repeater output channel ( RPT-01 to RPT-08 or RPT-41 to RPT-48 ) must be selected. You can search the accessible repeater in your local area using the Repeater search scan function. (p. 32) q Select the desired repeater output channel (1 through 8 and 41 through 48).

38 6 SCAN 32 Repeater search scan The Repeater search scan is used not only to search for a signal on the repeater channels, but also to access a repeater by automatically transmitting in sequence. The repeater search function searches available repeaters in the area, even if the repeater is not in use. The Repeater search scan detects signals only on the Channels 1 to 8 and Channels 41 to 48 channels. Therefore, repeater availability cannot be guaranteed even if the repeater scan is stopped, because the scan will stop if any activity is detected. The scan is cancelled when receiving a signal, such as stations communicating in Simplex operation on a repeater output channel. *Excludes Emergency Repeater RPT-05. q Select the desired repeater output channel ( RPT-01 to RPT-08 and RPT-41 to RPT-48 ), and hold down O G P RS (Rpt Scan) for 2 seconds to start the Repeater search scan.
