BASIC OPERATION ■ Call procedure When your system employs tone signalling (excluding CTCSS and DTCS), the tone call procedure may be necessary prior to voice transmission. The tone signalling that is employed in the transceiver may be a selective calling system, which allows you to call only specific station(s), and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you.
BASIC OPERATION ■ Receiving and transmitting CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna will damage the transceiver. See page 1 for antenna attachment. Receiving: q Rotate [VOL] to turn ON the power. w Rotate [ROTARY SELECTOR], or push one of the memory chan- nel keys, [MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4], to select a channel.
Page 23
BASIC OPERATION D Transmitting notes • Transmit inhibit function The transceiver has several inhibit functions, which restrict trans- mission under the following conditions: - The channel is muted. (PMR operation only) - The channel is busy. - A signal with the un-matched (or matched) CTCSS (or DTCS) tone is received.

BASIC OPERATION ■ MDC 1200 system operation The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your transceiver’s capa- bilities. It allows PTT ID* and Emergency signaling. * When [PTT] is pushed and/or released, the transceiver transmits your station ID. D Transmitting an Emergency Call The MDC 1200 system’s Emergency feature can be accessed using the [Emergency] key.
BASIC OPERATION ■ Emergency Call When [Emergency] is held down for the specified time period*, the emergency signal is transmitted once, or repeatedly, on the speci- fied emergency channel. A repeat emergency signal is automatically transmitted until you turn the power OFF. Depending on the pre-programmed settings, receiving a matching 5-tone code cancels the transmission.
IDAS OPERATION ■ IDAS operation The IC-F3102D and IC-F4102D provide Icom Digital Advanced System (IDAS) that meets the 6.25 kHz emission mask require- ments for narrow banding, and increases efficiency of channel al- location and use of spectrum. NOTE: During IDAS operation, BIIS 1200 and MDC 1200 sys- tem operations are not available.
IDAS OPERATION ■ Receiving a call D Receiving a Call Alert q When a Call Alert is received; • The transceiver will automatically transmit the acknowledgement. • The LED indicator blinks orange. • Beeps sound. w Hold down [PTT], then speak into the microphone. e Release [PTT] to receive a response.

IDAS OPERATION D Receiving a Remote Monitor or Radio Check Call If an individual call with Remote monitor or Radio check command is received (RAN code matching is not necessary depending on the presetting), the transceiver will automatically transmit. ➥ When a Remote monitor command is received; •...
IDAS OPERATION ■ Transmitting a call IDAS operation allows you to make a call to a specific station (In- dividual call) or to a particular group (Talkgroup call). Other digital mode transceivers on the channel will not receive a call that does not match their individual or talkgroup ID and/or RAN (Radio Ac- cess Number) code.
Page 36
IDAS OPERATION IMPORTANT: It is recommended to set an emergency channel individually to provide the certain emergency call operation. NOTE: The Digital Request Ack function is activated, the trans- ceiver transmits the emergency call with the request to send back an acknowledgment.
IDAS OPERATION ■ Position data transmission When an optional HM-171GP or any other GPS receiver is con- nected to the transceiver, the position (longitude and latitude) data can be transmitted automatically when; • After sending a Status Call - Set the ‘Send with Status Call’ item as ‘Enable.’ •...
