INSTRUCTION MANUAL VHF TRANSCEIVER iV8 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Oper- ation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This de- vice may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including in- terference that may cause undesired operation.
i SAFETY TRAINING INFORMA TION CAUTION T o ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic en- ergy is within the FCC allowable limits, always adhere to the following guidelines: • DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to ex- ceed FCC RF exposure limits.
ii • AL W A YS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting, and only use the Icom belt-clips which are listed in this manual when attaching the radio to your belt, etc.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS The explicit definitions below apply to this instruction manual. iii FOREWORD Thank you for purchasing the IC-V8 FM transceiver . This trans- ceiver is designed for those who require quality , performance and outstanding reliability under the most demanding condi- tions.

21 5 REPEA TER OPERA TION ■ General When using a repeater , the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by the offset frequency . It is convenient to pro- gram repeater information into memory channels. q Set the receive frequency (repeater output frequency).
22 5 REPEA TER OPERA TION ■ Offset frequency When communicating through a repeater , the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by an amount determined by the offset frequency . q Push [8• SET ] after pushing [A• FUNC ] to enter SET MODE .
23 5 REPEA TER OPERA TION ✔ Convenient T one scan function: When you don’t know the subaudible tone used for a repeater , the tone scan is convenient for detecting the tone frequency . Push [3• T . SCAN ] after pushing [A• FUNC ] to start the tone scan.
24 5 REPEA TER OPERA TION ■ Auto repeater function (USA version only) The USA version automatically activates the repeater settings (du- plex, ON/OFF , duplex direction, tone encoder ON/OFF) when the operating frequency falls within or outside of the general repeater output frequency range.
25 6 MEMOR Y PROGRAMMING ■ General The transceiver has 100 memory channels (plus 3 pairs of scan edges and 1 call channel) for storage of often-used frequencies. D Memory channel contents The following information can be programmed into the memory: • Operating frequency • Duplex direction (+ or –) with an offset frequency (pgs.

35 SUBAUDIBLE T ONES 9 ‘ ‘ T one squelch D Operation The tone squelch opens only when receiving a signal containing a matching subaudible tone. Y ou can silently wait for calls from group members using the same tone. q Set the operating frequency .
36 9 SUBAUDIBLE TONES D Setting subaudible tones for tone squelch operation Separate tone frequencies can be set for tone squelch operation rather than repeater operation (the same range of tones is avail- able— see below). Like the repeater tones, these are set in set mode.
SUBAUDIBLE TONES 9 37 ‘ ‘ Pocket beep operation This function uses subaudible tones for calling and can be used as a “common pager” to inform you that someone has called when you were away from the transceiver . D W aiting for a call from a speci fi c station q Set the operating frequency .
38 9 SUBAUDIBLE TONES ‘ ‘ T one scan By monitoring a signal that is being operated with repeater , pocket beep or tone squelch function, you can determine the tone fre- quency necessary to access a repeater or open a squelch. q Set the frequency to be checked for a tone frequency or code.
39 10 P AGER/CODE SQUELCH ‘ ‘ Pager function This function uses DTMF codes for paging and can be used as a “message pager” to confirm you of a caller ’s identification even when you leave the transceiver temporarily unattended.
40 10 P AGER/CODE SQUELCH ‘ ‘ Code programming D D Before programming The pager and code squelch functions require ID codes and a group code. These codes are 3-digit DTMF codes and must written into the code channels before operation. q Decide the ID code of each transceiver and a group code for your group.
41 10 P AGER/CODE SQUELCH D D Code programming An ID code MUST be programmed into code channel C0. Up to 6 transmit codes are programmable into code channels, C1 to C6, if required. q Push [ ✱ • OPTION ] after [A• FUNC ] is pushed. • Pager mode is selected.
42 10 P AGER/CODE SQUELCH • Receive accept/receive inhibit ➥ “Receive accept” (“SKIP” indicator does not appear) accepts pager calls when the transceiver receives a signal with a code the same as that in the code channel.
43 10 P AGER/CODE SQUELCH ‘ ‘ Pager operation D Calling a speci fi c station q Program the desired code channel in advance (p. 41). w Set the operating frequency . • Set the AF and squelch to the desired level as in normal operation. e Push [ ✱ • OPTION ] after [A• FUNC ] is pushed.
44 10 P AGER/CODE SQUELCH D W aiting for call from a speci fi c station q Set the operating frequency . w Push [ ✱ • OPTION ] after [A• FUNC ] is pushed. • 100 MHz digit shows “P .” e W ait for a call. • When receiving a call, the caller ’s ID or group code appears as shown below .
45 10 P AGER/CODE SQUELCH ‘ ‘ Code squelch Code squelch provides communications with quiet standby since you will only receive calls from stations which know your ID or group code. Each push of [PTT] sends a 3-digit code in order to open the receiving station’s code squelch prior to voice transmis- sion.
46 11 OTHER FUNCTIONS ‘ ‘ Set mode D D Entering set mode q Push [8• SET ] after [A• FUNC ] is pushed. w Push [ ∫ ] or [ √ ] to select the desired item. e Rotate [VOL] to select the condition/value. • T o exit set mode, push [#• ENT ].
