IMPORTANTREAD ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully before using the IC-440N UHF TRANSCEIVER.

KEEP THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL, as it contains important operating information that may be useful in the future.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

WORD DEFINITION

RDANGER!Personal death, serious injury or an explo-sion may occur.

RWARNING!Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur.

CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.

NOTEIf disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fi re or electric shock.

OPERATIONAL NOTESi. 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 indi-cator) to ensure it is not already being used before trans-mitting.

iii. In Australia, channel 11 is the customary calling channel for establishing communication. Channel 40 is the custom-ary road vehicle channel.

iv. In Australia, except in an emergency, a CB transmitter shall not be operated on UHF 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 UHF CB communications device shall not transmit selcall tones for longer than 3 seconds during any 60 second period.

Icom, Icom Inc. and the Icom logo are registered trademarks of Icom Incorporat-ed (Japan) in Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Russia and/or other countries.

PRECAUTIONSR WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fi re 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 dam-age 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.

OPERATIONAL NOTESvii. UHF CB repeaters provide greater range through a base

station that re-transmits signals. Repeaters operate util-ising two channels (repeater input/repeater output). It is important to avoid operation on locally used repeater in-put 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 dis-tance communication via the repeater facility is specifi cally required. See the section on repeater operation for more information.

iix. Please be aware that the UHF CB network may experi-ence possible operational issues during the changeover to narrowband. This transceiver operates on 12.5 kHz chan-nel 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 interfer-ence due to older equipment being operated on channels adjacent to new narrowband channels, as the channel set-ting 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.

iii

PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-cal 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 trans-ceiver may be damaged.

DO NOT use the chemical agents such as benzine or al-cohol 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 modi-fi 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 CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods of time.

MAKE SURE to turn OFF the transceiver power before connecting the supplied/optional equipment.

This device complies with Standard Australia Specifi cation No. AS/NZS 4365-2011.

5REPEATER 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 re-peater), the transceiver will transmit and receive on different frequencies. It will automatically do this when one of the re-peater channels is selected.

Channel 36

RepeaterRPT-06

Uplink(transmitting)Downlink(receiving)

Channel 6

Accessing Repeater DA 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 re-peater, 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.

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 repeat-er 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 avail-ability 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.
