2 Ni-Cd BA TTERIES AND ACCESSORIES 9 ■ Accessory attachment Antenna Insert the supplied antenna into the antenna connector and rotate the an- tenna as shown in the diagram below . Keep the jack cover attached when jacks are not in use to avoid bad contacts.
1. T urn power ON Push [POWER] for 1 sec. to turn power ON. • Opening message is displayed for 1 sec. BASIC OPERA TION 3 10 ■ General Operating the IC-R10 is easy . However , in order to get the most out of its oper- ating potential, please go through the following procedures, step-by-step.
3-1. Adjust the RF gain Rotate [SQL] maximum counter- clockwise, to adjust RF gain to opti- mum level. What is RF gain? RF gain controls receive sensitivity gain — reduce the gain when you don ’ t want to receive very weak sig- nals or when excessively strong in- terfering signals are being received, etc.
3 BASIC OPERA TION 12 ■ Selecting a receive mode What are receive modes? Radio signals can be propagated in a variety of ways (or modes). Each mode has its own physical properties that de- termine to some degree its uses. The IC-R10 receives the 6 most common modes: AM, FM, WFM, USB, LSB and CW .
3 BASIC OPERA TION 13 What are tuning steps? T uning steps are the frequency change increments when you rotate the tuning control or operate a scan. The following steps are available: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 6.25, 8, 9, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 100 kHz and user programmable tuning steps (p.
3 BASIC OPERA TION 14 When you know the exact frequency you want to listen to, the quickest way to tune it is by direct keypad entry . Remember that the frequency must be between 0.5 MHz and 1300 MHz. The diagram below shows the correla- tion between the function display fre- quency digits and the frequency .
3 BASIC OPERA TION 15 ■ T uning a frequency (via the dial) When you want to listen to frequencies near the displayed frequency , the easi- est way to tune them is with the tuning dial. All signals have what is called an “ oc- cupied bandwidth. ” They will be re- ceived as long as the receiver is tuned anywhere within this bandwidth.
3 BASIC OPERA TION 16 ■ Dial select steps What are dial select steps? When tuning with the dial, if you want to change the fre- quency faster than the selected tuning step can, use the dial select function. A dial select step is an increment of frequency change much like a tuning step is.
3 BASIC OPERA TION 17 ■ Band scope function What is the band scope function? The band scope detects signal availability in the range of ± 5 channels (up to ± 100 kHz) from the displayed frequency , and displays the result on the multi function dot-matrix display .
3 BASIC OPERA TION 18 Set band scope function q While pushing [FUNC], push [ (1) BSCOPE]. Repeat the above step or push [CLR] to turn OFF the band scope function.
