INSTRUCTION MANUAL iR10 COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is sub- ject to the following two conditions: (1)This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Downloaded by? Amateur Radio Directory? ? www.hamdirectory.info RWARNING! NEVERconnect the receiver to an AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock. RWARNING! NEVER operate the receiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume op- eration. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use. NEVERconnect the receiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This connection will ruin the receiver. NEVERcut the DC power cable between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the receiver might be damaged. NEVERexpose the receiver to rain, snow or any liquids. DO NOTconnect the receiver to a power source using re- verse polarity. This connection will not only blow fuses but also may damage the receiver. i Versions of the IC-R10 which display the “CE” symbol on the serial number seal, comply with the ETSI specifi ca- tion prETS300 684 (EMC product standard for Commercially Available Amateur Radio Equipment). CAUTIONSIMPORTANT READ ALL INSTRUCTIONSCAREFULLYbe- fore attempting to operate the receiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUALThis instruction manual contains important safety and operating in- structions for the IC-R10. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS The following explicit defi nitions apply to this manual. WORDDEFINITION RWARNING Personal injury, fi re hazard or electric shock may occur. CAUTION Equipment damage may occur. NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fi re or electric shock. ii UNPACKING Accessories included with the receiver: Qty. 1q Antenna.1 1w Handstrap.1 1e Belt clip (with 2 screws).1 41r Wall charger*.1 1t Ni-Cd batteries .4 *Not supplied with some versions. DO NOTuse or place the receiver in areas with tempera- tures below 10C (+14F) or above +50C (+122F) or, in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard. AVOIDplacing the receiver in excessively dusty environ- ments. AVOIDthe use of chemical agents such as benzine or al- cohol when cleaning, as they damage the receiver surfaces. Even when the receiver power is OFF, a slight current still fl ows in the circuits. Remove cell batteries from the receiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the installed bat- teries will become exhausted. For U.S.A. only Caution:Changes or modifi cations to this receiver, not ex- pressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this receiver under FCC regulations. qwe r t TABLE OF CONTENTS iii IMPORTANT.i EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS .i CAUTIONS .i UNPACKING.ii TABLE OF CONTENTS .iii OPERATING THEORY .iv OPERATING NOTES.iv 1PANEL DESCRIPTION.16 IFront and side panels .1 ITop panel .2 IFunction display.3 IKeypad .5 2Ni-Cd BATTERIES AND ACCESSORIES.79 ICharging Ni-Cd batteries .7 ICharging precautions .7 IAbout Ni-Cd batteries .7 IBattery installation .8 ICharging connections .8 IAccessory attachment .9 3BASIC OPERATION .1022 IGeneral .10 ISelecting VFO mode .10 ISelecting a receive mode .12 ISelecting a tuning step .13 ITuning a frequency (via the keypad) .14 ITuning a frequency (via the DIAL) .15 IDial select steps .16 IBand scope function .17 IListening example 1.19 IListening example 2.21 4MEMORY MODE .2334 IGeneral .23 ISelecting memory mode .23 ISetting a bank and memory channel .24 IProgramming a memory channel1 .25 IProgramming a memory channel2 .26 IProgramming a memory channel3 .27 IProgramming example 1 .29 IProgramming example 2 .30 IProgramming example 3 .31 IMemory copy .33 ICopying example 1 .34 ICopying example 2 .34 5SCANNING OPERATION .3546 IGeneral .35 IBefore scanning.37 IFull scan .39 IMemory scan .39 IProgram scan .40 IAuto memory write scan .41 IBANK scan .43 IMode select scan.44 ISkip function .45 ISIGNAVI function.46 6PRIORITY WATCH .4749 IGeneral .47 7EASY MODE.50 IGeneral .50 IEASY mode operation .50 8EDIT FUNCTION .5158 TABLE OF CONTENTS iv OPERATING THEORY Electromagnetic radiation which has frequencies of 20,000 Hz (20 kHz*) and above is called radio frequency (RF) energy because it is useful in radio transmissions. The IC-R10 re- ceives RF energy from 0.5 MHz to 1300 MHz* and converts it into audio frequency (AF) energy which in turn actuates a loudspeaker to create sound waves. AF energy is in the range of 20 to 20,000 Hz. *kHz is an abbreviation of kilohertz or 1000 hertz, MHz is abbreviation of megahertz or 1,000,000 hertz, where hertz is a unit of frequency.

FUNCTION DISPLAY (p. 3) Indicates the operating condition. KEYPAD (pgs. 5, 6) Numeral and other function keys for tuning and activating func- tions. SPEAKER Emits the receive audio. CI-V JACK (p. 73) Connect the optional OPC-478 CLONING CABLE for remote control or data cloning. EXTERNAL DC POWER JACK (p. 8) Connect the supplied wall charg- er for charging the installed Ni-Cd battery cells. Be careful of overcharging! Operation with an external DC power source simultaneously charges the installed batteries. When CHARGE switch is ON, see p. 8. 1PANEL DESCRIPTION 2 ITop panel ANTENNA CONNECTOR (p. 9) Connects the supplied flexible antenna. Be careful when con- necting an external antenna (See Operating Notes, p. iv). VOLUME CONTROL VOL (p. 10) Adjusts the audio output level.
