2 P ANEL DESCRIPTION 1 q ANTENNA Extend the antenna completely when using the transceiver . • The antenna collapses completely into the transceiver body for car- rying purposes. • The antenna can be adjusted 90 degrees from the regular position when operating the transceiver in a horizontal position.
P ANEL DESCRIPTION 1 3 ‘ ‘ Function display q TRANSMIT INDICA TOR Appears during PTT on. w BUSY INDICA TOR Appears while receiving a signal or when the squelch is open. e KEY LOCK INDICA TOR Appears during key lock function ON. r AUTO POWER OFF INDICA TOR Appears while the auto power off function is ON.
4 2 ACCESSORIES D Antenna Adjust the antenna position as shown at right. Keep the jack cover attached when jacks are not in use to avoid bad contacts. D Belt clip Attach the belt clip using the supplied screws. Conveniently attaches to your belt. ‘ ‘ Accessory attachment IC-4008E-2 02.
‘ ‘ Installing batteries in the battery case Install 3 R6(AA) size alkaline, dry cell batteries or the BP-202 BA T- TERY P ACK as illustrated below . q Remove the battery case cover from the transceiver . w Install 3 × R6(AA) size dry cell, alkaline bat- teries or the BP-202.
6 3 BA TTERY P ACKS ‘ ‘ Battery pack charging The optional BP-202 BA TTERY P ACK includes rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries and can be charged approx. 300 times. Charge the battery pack before first operating the transceiver or when the battery pack becomes exhausted.
* 7 3 BA TTERY P ACKS ‘ ‘ Charging connections D Rapid charging with the BC-1 19L/BC-1 19+AD-89 q Insert the optional AD-89 DESKTOP CHARGER ADAPTER into the charging slot of the BC-1 19. • The BC-1 19L comes preinstalled with the AD-89 CHARGING ADAPTER .
4 BASIC OPERA TION 8 ‘ ‘ Power ON ➥ Push [ POWER ] for 1sec. to turn the power ON. • The power on indicator and oper- ating channel number appear on the display . ‘ ‘ Adjusting the volume q Push and hold [ MODE ] for 1sec. to open the squelch.
BASIC OPERA TION 9 4 ‘ ‘ Selecting the operating channel Push [ UP ]/[ Y ] or [ DOWN ]/[ Z ] keys sev- eral times until the desired operating channel number appears on the dis- play . • While pushing and holding [ UP ]/[ Y ] or [ DOWN ]/[ Z ] keys, the displayed chan- nel changes continuously until chan- nel number “ 1 ” appears.
5 RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT 10 q Push and hold [ MODE ] 1sec. to open the squelch. • Adjust volume to the desired audio level. (See p. 8) w Select a desired operating channel. When a signal is received: • Squelch opens and audio is emitted from the speaker .
11 6 ‘ ‘ Setting the group code The IC-4008E is equipped with 38 group codes. Group mode op- eration provides communication with silent standby since you will only receive calls from group members using the same group num - ber . First of all, set the same group code number for all group member ’s transceivers.
12 6 ✔ What is CTCSS (Continuous T one Coded Squelch Sys- tem) GROUP MODE ? CTCSS ( Continuous T one Coded Squelch System) GROUP MODE allows communication with silent stand by .
13 6 CTCSS: Continuous T one Coded Squelch System D CTCSS code table ✔ T alk Range The IC-4008E is designed to maximize performance and im- prove transmission range in the field. However , the single most important factor in transmit range (talk power) is your surrounding environment.
14 7 RING FUNCTION ‘ ‘ Smart-Ring The ring function has an answer back feature. This allows you to confirm whether or not a call has reached the receiving party even if the operator is temporarily away from the transceiver . q Set the same group channel number for all of your group transceivers.
15 OTHER FUNCTIONS 8 ‘ ‘ Initial set mode Initial set mode is accessed at power ON and allows you to set sel - dom changed settings. In this way you can “customize” transceiver operations to suit your preferences and operating style. D Auto power OFF This function sets the transceiver to auto- matically turn OFF after 2 hours elapse.
16 8 OTHER FUNCTIONS D PTT hold function This function frees you from having to constantly push [PTT] during conversation. q While pushing [PTT], push [POWER] ON to toggle the function ON or OFF . w “ ” appears on the display when the “PTT hold” function is activated.
OTHER FUNCTIONS 8 17 ‘ ‘ A TS (Automatic T ransponder System) This allows you to confirm whether or not a call has reached the re- ceiving party even if the operator is temporarily away from the transceiver . No “Ring” tone is emitted with this function.
18 8 OTHER FUNCTIONS ‘ ‘ LCD backlight ➥ Automatically turns ON for 5 sec. when you push any key , ex- cept [PTT]. ‘ ‘ Auto power save ➥ The power save function reduces the current drain to conserve battery power . - The function automatically turns ON when no operation is per- formed or no signal is received for 5 sec.
OTHER FUNCTIONS 8 19 ‘ ‘ Optional HM-75A functions The optional HM-75A allows you to remotely select operating chan- nels, open the squelch, etc. The switches on the HM-75A function as follows.
