I Your first contact
Now that you have your IC-V8000 installed in your car or
shack, you are probably excited to get on the air. We would
like to take you through a few basic operation steps to make
your first "On The Air" an enjoyable experience.
1. Turning ON the transceiver
Before powering up your IC-V8000, you may want to make
sure the audio volume and squelch level controls are set in
9–10 o'clock positions.
Set both [VOL] and [SQL] controls to
9–10 o'clock positions.
Although you have purchased a brand new transceiver, some
settings may be changed from the factory defaults because
of the QC process. Resetting the CPU is necessary to start
from factory default.
[PWR] [SET(LOCK)] [MW(S.MW)]
➥ While pushing [SET(LOCK)] and [MW(S.MW)], push
[PWR] for 1 sec. to reset the CPU.

2. Tune the desired frequency
The tuning dial will allow you to dial in the frequency you want
to operate. Pages 9 and 11 will instruct you on how to set the
tuning speed.
Using the HM-133V
You can directly enter the frequency with the HM-133V keypad.
[EXAMPLE]: Setting frequency to 145.3625 MHz.
